Just got news overnight that I may be sent to Hong Kong for work for two weeks. I don't know anyone there since the reason I'm going is to cover co-workers who are away at a conference.

Any DVX users in HK????? Please contact me if you are living there and have a little time to tell me what sights I should be sure to see while there.

Cheers
 
well, you should go to mong kok and go shopping for clothes and stuff there garden street and electronics. check out the huge bronze budha statue on the airport side. check out festival walk for about anything its a great mall. pacific palace TST is cool take the Star Ferry to go from island to the other.the temples the food etc. well pretty much anything you can find if you take your DVX shoot some of the slum aerasa and people you can use it for you know great coverage shots of street life and stuff if you ever do one in a film any way get back to me if you're interested in anythign i can help you.
 
Thanks for the great e-mail!!! Are you living there? Thanks for all the tips.

About power in HK. My DVX is a Japanese model. What kind of adapters will I need to recharge in HK?

Also how expensive is it to move around the city? Buses, taxi's or trains? Most of Tokyo closes around 8pm. Does HK have areas that stay open later? As I'm likely to be stranded in the office a lot of the day.
 
i think its like tokyo but a version thats trying to catch up. but basically it closes the open markets around 8 or 9 or so. its like 100HK for a otcopass for the train. they also work for other things where the card is except just pay for the card at the subway stations then scan through any where taxi i didnt use as much so im not sure i walk and train and ferry around. but there are great markets and plenty of malls just got to find them lol.

As for power they dont use the american standard they use a large 3 prong adaptor which might be the same in the us. if not try to find an adaptor before you go over or find one there if you need it. I live there and and USA i go backforth. hopefully you can get out of the office go see some movies or buy them .... lol.. either way check out the open markets and the streets when you can.
 
wow Hong Kong. I lived there for a year when i was a kid. I love Hong Kong! Talk about a city that never sleeps.
