Q: What do you buy when going on a HK visa trip?

There are no western products where I live in China, so I have a small list of things I want to buy when I go to HK, but am looking for some other ideas.

What are your suggestions?

My wife and I took a trip out to Sai Kung town and then a ferry out to an island.  There were no other people there. It was very peaceful and quiet. Best purchase we made!

Eat lots of Mcdonalds, Subway, Pizza Hut and drink Starbucks  to get your next years fix.  Buy proper beer from 7/11 that you miss  from back home eat sandwiches from there.  Stock up on Chocolate, spirits buy electrical items that are hard to find, clothes from the market that are in a normal size not to small.  Go to the cinema and watch a movie in English, go ice skating, or take a trip to Macu and do the worlds tallest bungee jump or anything that you can never find where you live.   Even go to a book shop and pick out a decent learn Chinese book - found huge selection in Beijing-  Im doing this all now as holiday in Beijing and making the most of it

I love to take my girlfriend to The Spaghetti House in Hong Kong. It's a popular restaurant in Hong Kong and they have some very nice spaghetti there as well as a nice atmosphere for dinner. It might be a bit pricy for some people that are accustomed to mainland china prices, as you can easily spend around $250 HKD on a meal for two.

I'm sorry I didn't buy a new iPhone, HK is supposed to be the cheapest place to buy one. I did go shoe shopping and never found my size there, 12.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
Q: Working two jobs simultaneously with a Z visa
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
