Even then, I was not spared from having to collect my luggage and checking in again. But at least, I had less crowd to deal with.oceanskies79https://www.blogger.com/profile/15637499843542653266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-92154208957551506182007-03-25T20:13:00.000+08:002007-03-25T20:13:00.000+08:00cool trip hot mama! bummer that the computers brok...cool trip hot mama! bummer that the computers broke down sheesh technology can't live with it or without it! <BR/><BR/>much love!Tisha!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00476744443195395621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-64962973585968100502007-03-25T19:08:00.000+08:002007-03-25T19:08:00.000+08:00That looks a great trip for you.That looks a great trip for you.Jean-Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689798190618944262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-9595916701050597932007-03-25T14:33:00.000+08:002007-03-25T14:33:00.000+08:00eh... 我叫! 哈哈哈哈....eh... 我叫! 哈哈哈哈....eastcoastlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578276762751929226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-76755535541019850982007-03-25T14:27:00.000+08:002007-03-25T14:27:00.000+08:00When I'm bac in Sg, then I go visit HK, China etc....When I'm bac in Sg, then I go visit HK, China etc...nearer mah! <BR/>I dunno abt those imitation bags leh...I juz heard tt from many pple abt Shenzhen especially.<BR/><BR/>Not 叫鸭 meh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-32150031602086698502007-03-25T13:35:00.000+08:002007-03-25T13:35:00.000+08:00wah, when you 10 yrs ago.... so loooong ago leh!

If you walked in to take a look or even dare to finger their goods without buying, before you stepped out of their shop, they would say,"No money don't try to shop la! Touch and don't buy, so miser!" <BR/><BR/>Since 2000, the situation has improved ...just a little. There are still some rude service staff in restaurants and retail outlets, but overall I have a good experience. I don't know if there is a difference in service between the types of shops. I shop in high-end shops (with clients, so cannot go cheap outlets :( )<BR/><BR/>But I notice they are more courteous to the mainland tourists who HongKongers look down upon as the poor hillbillies. My mainland clients carry large stash of cash and pay thousands of US dollars for designer goods without batting an eyelash! Singapore needs them!!!eastcoastlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578276762751929226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16572633.post-28275965867833672782007-03-25T09:46:00.000+08:002007-03-25T09:46:00.000+08:00I've never been to Shenzhen or any part of China. ...I've never been to Shenzhen or any part of China. But in the 80s, I made a trip to HK. I wasn't impressed. The people were downright rude. But I head HK has undergone a tremedous transformation. The Hongkongers have apparently wised up to the importance of having a world-class service standard to attract the tourist money. I heard they are very courteous, putting us Singaporeans to shame.
