Where are you going and how long will you be there for?


A word of advice: There is never a good deal in China. Everything there is complete sh*t.

China you can buy cheap-made electronics. Good stuff you gotta go to Japan or Hong Kong.

If you're in HK hit up Lan Kwai Fong to party. The good clubs are probably still Prive, Dragon-I, Mint, Bejing Club, and Cloud 9 (not sure if that's the name, my friend took me there last time). Things have gotten more expensive, you can't really deal there that much. Mostly you can get high end electronics such as cellphones and cameras before they come out in the US by a couple years. I'd avoid shopping on HK Island side, head over to Kowloon to Mong Kok (just nick nacks, cameras, etc), Sham Shui Po (electronics, hacked xboxes, ps3s, etc), and TST/Nathan Road (Tailor made clothes). Kowloon side is always cheaper and are still willing to bargain (kinda), HK side has way too many rich expats throwing cash around.

I haven't been to Taiwan for awhile, but all my friends in HK fly there on the weekend to party in Taipei, say its the hottest place to be right now. Anyway, let me know if you have any other questions.

CELLPHONES and computer parts! you'll find the best friggin deal ever on cell phones in hong kong, period. Sham Shui Po and Mong Kok would be the place to go if you're looking for ANY computer parts. There are tons of malls that sell them, so imagine the competition plus you can bargain a lil bit if you get more than one piece.
Lan Kwai Fong will b the place to go party, Dragon-I, Volar, club 9, Beijing, new club called Billion. Dragon-I would be the place to go if you wanna meet models, lots of white chicks, take the elevator up to the 5th floor toilet if you want a lil kick to the party.
