TIPS:
Look for free Hong Kong map in airport.
Water is expensive in most theme parks, so purchase it in 7-eleven / mini grocery stores near you.
When doing grocery, bring your own reusable bags.
Accommodation rates may alter based on season / peak months / holidays.
Ask your accomodation if they will provide adaptor for charging your gadgets, if not prepare to have one.
Food & Beverages are not allowed inside theme parks.
Based on Hong Kong airport's website: for departing passengers, all (liquid, aerosol, aels) LAG items carried in hand baggage must be stored in containers of capacity not exceeding 100ml each. Containers larger than 100ml will not be accepted, even if they are partially filled. of liquid is allowed and must be sealed in a plastic container. This is the reason why they took our 1 liter of H20.
