Grand Richly ripp off

Hong Kong is a great place for shopping if your careful, but beware....the biggest ripp offs for electrical goods in the world happen in Hong Kong. Many people get ripped off every day, especially on Nathan road. You can get real bargains in Hong Kong, but as they say in the lonely planet...dont buy it unless it has a price ticket. Beware in particular of the Grand richly shop and the av city shop on Nathan road. If you stay clear of these kind of places ...you will have a great shopping trip in Hong Kong. The harbour views...awsome...some of the best views of skyscrapers in the world.

And make sure you save extra money for dimsum, afterwards. Sampling dimsum is a must in Hong Kong. My fondest memory of Hong Kong was to be re-acquainted with my friend Antonio after so many years.
