It’s only our second day in Hong Kong right now and I can’t help but notice that most of the stuff here are more expensive than Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia.
Take for example some bottled drinks or juices that only cost around 20 pesos in the Philippines, here it’ll cost around 6 HK dollars which would be around 36 pesos. At least their prices are not as high as the western countries but speaking from an Asian point of view who’s in a very tight budget, I just can’t help but notice ( and complain?). But then again, if one is working here in Hong Kong, they won’t really feel the high cost because their salary is also high. I’ve heard from our friend that even Filipino domestic helpers here are paid more than 20 K pesos ( from HK equivalent).
And back to Hong Kong prices, I’m still on the lookout for something cheap in this place and maybe then I can do a little bit of shopping..:)
