I'm back! Discounted Packages and Tickets

It's been hectic lately. We have just finished the Season 1 swimming competition at ULTRA. Anyway, last Sunday, I found that there were 2 really cheap packages offered by Amkor and Golden Sky travel agencies for Manila-Hongkong-Manila. Amkor's price is only 87 USD while Golden Sky offers it at 57 USD. Of course, these are group tours and the accommodations may not be as you would like it. But, hey, when you're on budget, you just wanna go and be there, right? I suggest you check these out. They were on the Manila Bulletin Sept. 7 issue.

Worth checking out too are the rates of both Malaysia Air (for travel to Malaysia) and those of Cebu Pacific. Jetstar Asia also came up with half fare promos to "all destinations". Sale starts from 10 to 14 Sep 2008 for travel from 15 September to 15 October 2008. Check out their websites if you're interested.

Free/Discounted Hong Kong Tours For 2008

I've found the following tours and classes are still free: Duk Ling Ride (although by April 1, 2008, all rides will have a minimum of 50 HKD fee), Tai Chi Class, Architecture Walk, Cantonese Opera Appreciation Class, Feng Shui Class, Maritime Museum, Guided Tour, Chinese Tea Appreciation Class, Antiques Appreciation Class, Jewellery Appreciation Class, Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum Guided Tour, "The Hong Kong Story" Exhibition Guided Tour, Kung Fu Corner, Chinese Medicine Class and the Chinese Cake-Making Class.

These offers can be found at the Discover Hongkong site at http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/heritage/ck/index.jhtml. It is for visitors only who are aged 3 to 70. You'll have to show your passport when attending one of these. I think I'll check out the Hong Kong Story Guided Tour so Ikee can benefit from it.
