I'm back I'm back I'm back what do you mean you haven't realized I and upload
to the video for days now very upsetting i will give an update why I haven't been
around for the past four days at the end of this video as you know our last
destination was Hong Kong we got back like a week ago and I have been
preparing the ultimate how expensive is hong kong video for you
so of course i have to put display mother this is just our experience we
were there for three and a half days
these are just create a lot we try to get cheap we try to get a bit slower G
so you can get good estimation of what you'll be spending and i also have three
blocks of hong kong which will be . around somewhere for you to go and enjoy
a few Muslim ok so let's jump straight into it
getting around hong kong is super easy on the mtr is the train like the
underground it gets you around hong kong island and the other place the other
side of the water where we said
we're going to be there for even a few days is worth picking up an octopus card
which you can get at the nearest station just go to the information desk cost 450
hong kong dollars now the translation is about ten hong kong dollars to the power
so i was really nice and simple to pick around to the conversion just knocked
over 0 which move the decimal point
nice and simple the hundred fifty dollars 15 pounds that's a hundred hong
kong dollars credit and fifty dollars deposit which you will get back nice
mine dollars if you want to we pretty much actually ended up using all the
credits on our three or four days which included getting back to the airport
when you pick one up unless you want to keep in case you want to return or as a
little keepsake when you get to the airport you can go to the love train
station desk and just hand over there minus nine dollars office handling
charge or something and then give the rest of your deposit and any credit left
on it back to you after the only way we got around and walking it will exhaust
you walking around hong kong even if you're getting the train here there and
everywhere because it's huge
Hong Kong is absolutely massive and your legs will hate you if you do that again
taxes and stuff that Officer they do use things like uber over there so that's
definitely worth it to save yourself some money on taxes
let's go on sir food few of the blog who like a this is really expensive here but
then when we look back on it really it was for a major city and one of the most
expensive cities in the world
it was actually really good I think it's because we're living in Thailand for
over three months now that it was a bit and being from thailand where you pay
one or two pounds for a full meal to go to somewhere like Hong Kong it was
really like after three days of eating this so much food and some of the ranges
of prices that we found her coffee expect to pay between thirty and fifty
dollars Africa so 2 and 5 pounds for a nice cafe and iced americano proper espresso
coffee which is still a lot in my eyes and appreciate it
hong kong you'd have some nice copies are ya i'll let you off
I let your fancy getting a beer then I hope you bring your wallet he actually
had a balcony on Airbnb and on top of that I be at the end
and we just go to like the 7-eleven and buy a few cans because it was so much
cheaper think it was only came to like 30 h dollars for four cans of like San
Miguel pilsen which is like three times 80
however if you want to go to the bars especially if you're ending up in soho
and areas around there on Hong Kong Island which are known for great monkey
bars and nights out then expect to pay lowest resources are 35 and that wasn't
really in soho 35 hong kong dollars anywhere up to like eighty dollars for
won't be a so between 35 and 50 and 80 pounds for a beer
no one of the nights we decided to hunt for the locals for eating as we always
do and we came across these tiny little like plastic stools kind of white table
place then we speak any English there's a lot of fun ordering and we ordered
some authentic chinese food down the locals and end up paying Rs 70 hong kong
dollars for a main meal with no drinks
however there they did South $22 beer which is to plan 20 so actually that is
the cheapest ok very good this is really good so by seven had a meal proper good
Chinese food there are then places like bad places middle eastern place is
dotted all around the place and there are you even looking at spending around
sixty or seventy dollars six or seven pounds for like a kebab with a drink and
some fries and stuff like that you can get some cool street food is not present
system while I Thailand but there is playing street food of some of the
markets you pick up like kebabs and tofu by to know you know just on the grill
kind of stuff and they're saying you back between like 10 and thirty dollars
and 123 pounds for like you're like three about 20 kind of thing or a bag of
munchies for like 30 i don't know how it really works but you know you're
spending a few pounds on some nibbles and we went to two-michelin-star
restaurant if you haven't seen that video i recommended they were polar
opposites
we went to one Michelin star restaurant it was the one we went to go to them
into another because they are like the cheapest in the world and the first 145
dishes we paid ninety dollars which is nine pounds for both of us to eat the
missions are restaurant
yeah the second one we paid 500
and sixty dollars which is 56 pounds and oh my god we had why we have seconds
desert for so many dumb things i almost cried again that's all in the other
video so you can go check them out it's definitely experience to go to associate
the second restaurants and is highly recommend between travelers you do for a
lot less than what we pay but we just decided to splurge
ok so our accommodation we stayed in an Airbnb well when I was looking on airbnb
his face is very limited in Hong Kong like living space it has the highest
accommodation costs in the world so please don't go expecting to find a
five-pound likely you're not going to it's Hong Kong expect to pay out the ass for
accommodation now it's all mine but if you stayed and you find a really good
deal somewhere in Hong Kong please drop it down below because it's accommodation
kill you anyway any budget but especially hong kong so if you stayed
anywhere anything was great great quality great night great price then let
us know down below
yeah when we were looking on Airbnb is very much
tiny box rooms and what we weren't bothered about that because we're going
to like 3-4 days so we knew we do spending most of our time out of the
apartment the only one thing is and we done this multiple times is they'll have
like the toilet the sink and and the shower head will be like over the toilet
and there won't be a separate area and the whole it's like a wet room and he
pretty much absolutely like next the toilet to shower and so we don't know a
lot we don't really mind but that was the one thing I try to look forward to
have a separate shower it was next to impossible to find a separate shower
cubicle and I hadn't have had my air B&B credit to fall back on because like I
would have that link down below that invites like friends and people so if
you sign up everybody you got like forty dollars thirty forty dollars but i also
get that as well and so it's a nice little two-way thing and I've been
collecting for a while and that link is down below and so first time customers
of Airbnb to get to a bit of the first order the first day order stay shut up
but I became
sixty-six pounds per night that's redonkulous for us we've never ever ever paid that
kind of price for accommodation ever i think we did once and now is a treat for
one night in australia before they start to leave with something we did something
we had a nice like a hundred thirty dollar apartment hotel been our partner
was so nice it was like the perfect location started a video on his channel
all about our accommodation where we stayed and i definitely recommend you go
check out his child his links in the description we are linked the Airbnb we
say that it was perfect it was so good
however women out before to say that it wasn't where be credit
let's talk about a few attractions before i leave
so you've got we went to did the peak tram peak travel takes you all the way
to the top of the mountain so you get that glorious view weed on the first day
at North you over Hong Kong and that cost us 40 hong kong dollars each return
but now I think it's been part 2 45 that's a full-time 54 return on the peak
tram we went to the history museum which is absolutely free and definitely
recommend it's a very interesting even if you have a little bit of interest in
history then went to the Science Museum which was crazy like it was I think on
Wednesdays it's free and it was not I think cuz it's pretty like all the kids
all the parents were there smashing buttons i'm pulling levers everything's
interactive in this museum like three floors or 443 and everything is
interactive and it's so cool we will have been big kids and playing with like
an electric stuff and coils and a lot of the other thing we really did was the
symphony of lights which is free and happens every night I ate a print please
don't rate but i'm pretty sure it's a PM everything tonight down to the water
overlooking to hong kong island and its really good actually free now to be
honest we spend most of our time wondering about and eating because
that's what you do when you go to Hong Kong I've gotta say I'm kong is
definitely one of those places that if you have a lot of money you'll go wild
you'll go absolutely insane
no I realize that I've never been to a place where I kind of thought if we had
more money blah blah
because I more about no matter how expensive the country's you can figure
it out and we did we had a lot of fun and you know didn't break the bank well
someone bank that but it wasn't too bad i think- accommodation we spent around
300 pounds for four days for both of us
that's like a hundred fifty pounds each and which was a lot of would splash like
a sample mixture star restaurants which was a massive treat for us and things
like that because you achieve that and you can get more water but like I was
saying every country and figure out how to do it on the cheap punk is a little
bit of time and it depends where you define as cheap as well definitely city
i would go back to you in a heartbeat
I probably want to go back with a little bit more than a not gonna lie
just because when you're walking around because things are so ridiculously
expensive like if we want to we walk around all day with super hot one thing
we love to do is like stopping in a cool bar with a view to get like a beer just
a beer and then carry on a day when the beer is eight pounds each were like no
now we're not doing here and Hong Kong it's a crazy City don't let the price
put you off hopefully my videos where we find cheaper food and things like that
can help you out and if you've got any budget saving tips because we are not
experts we were barely there and I know a lot of my viewers have been to Hong
Kong multiple times so be nice . don't shout at me for not finding all the
cheapest place is like oh you know cheap places to eat save whatever leave them
down below and let it be like a little bit of a discussion down a bit of a
resource guide for people for planning your next trip to Hong Kong go
seriously I don't think I'd like you as much they did I think a lot of hong kong
it's not before I shut up
let's have the update so I worked after I live stream I'd like two days working
on my book sounds like a no videos for a couple of days do some book writing is
going really well and then yesterday while two days ago i've been on
antibiotics one structural balance bikes and they only cost $MONEY a pound
the pharmacist can prescribe them after wow that's amazing after her doctors
fear any
ok let's walk into the system like hey and this is wrong this is wrong that i
will hear some tell us why thank you to plans later I came out with two lots of
tablets amazeballs except those have this made me really ill they give me a
horrific stomach pain the point where I couldn't eat even small on water was
painful i thought i was going to blow up from the inside just complete so that's
where I've been lying down and crying for the past day just lying on sofa like
no no no no no I'm back now I'm feeling better and everything is a-okay
all right i'm gonna set up a Facebook Twitter Instagram snapchat all
electronics are down there and I with you whenever i see you but
