Do you have to stay on HK island? With the subway system the whole area is easily gotten to. Anne Black Guest House (YMCA) is available for USD 48 per night for the dates you are to be there. Anything else ON HK island would be USD10-20 more per night. For that difference and maybe a 10 minute subway ride would be worth the difference. It's right near KCR train station if you wanted to go to Shenzhen too. It is a 10 minute walk to the Subway station. Most hotels on HK island are 5-10 minutes walks also. http://www.asiarooms.com/hong_kong/hong_kong/anne_black_guest_house_%28ywca%29-hotel-location.html Here is the website to the Hong Kong Tourism Board http://www.discoverhongkong.com/usa/index.jsp It has many things you want, subway routes, how to's, etc. I think it is nicer to look upon HK island from Kowloon side than vice versa. You can use www.asiarooms.com to find a different hotel if you'd like. Or try Kayak.com or Sidestep.com Good luck

Yes I know exactly I stayed at Wharney Guang Dong Hotel 6 months ago it's cheap and very very clean about 700 HK$ a night. And another hotel is BP international about 650 HK$ but price may vary during peak seasons. If you want to go to Disneyland the cheapest way is to take MRT just ask people around once you at MRT station most of Hong Kong people speak little english and would love to help you out.

Usually the companies or agencies that sponsored your research sponsor your presentation. Sometimes the educational institutes have funds for sponsoring. You should meet or talk with your department head.

you don't need visa for Hong Kong if your going to HongKong. it's very safe there now that the British are no longer sucking up the money
2 :
If you are in an ASEAN country visiting another ASEAN country then a visa is not necessary ... unless you are staying longer than 10 days.
3 :
No visa or entry permit is required for any purpose if you hold any of the following travel documents: Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Passport, British National (Overseas) Passport, Hong Kong Certificate of Identity, Hong Kong Re-entry permit (for entry from the Mainland of China and the region of Macau only), Hong Kong Seaman's Identity Book, Hong Kong Document of Identity for Visa Purposes provided that the document is valid or the holder's limit of stay in Hong Kong has not expired. Travel documents bearing one of the following endorsements: "Holder's eligibility for Hong Kong permanent identity card verified." "The holder of this travel document has the right to land in Hong Kong. (Section 2AAA, Immigration Ordinance, Cap. 115, Laws of Hong Kong)" Hong Kong Permanent Identity Card.

Hong Kong is an interesting place and whether or not you need a visa for a visit depends on your citizenship (which country's passport you hold). Most "western" countries can visit HK without a visa, however citizens of some countries do require a visa even for a short visit (and you need to apply beforehand). Here's a link to a very good page (official HK government) that explains this and has a list of countries that do and do not need a visa to HK - http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_4.htm According to this page Myanmar citizens DO need a visa to travel to HK (when you go to the page, scroll down till you see a chart with all the countries). Here's another good page on Hong Kong - http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/index.jsp http://www.discoverhongkong.com/eng/mustknow/information/index.jhtml http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/contactus.htm This page below says that anyone from/in Taiwan can apply for a permit/visa at one of the authorized Airline Offices - http://www.immd.gov.hk/ehtml/hkvisas_6.htm so you'll need to find a travel agency or an airline that works with HK and apply through them Good luck!

HKD$20000 is just an average earning in HK. a new grad clerk wil be abt HKD$10000 in HK. a manager in a middle class co. wil be abt HKD$30000. police officer wil be abt HKD$14000 but w/ free accommodation. anyway, HKD$20000 yes... u can live on ur own but no rich at all. as HK living standard is just a bit lower than Tokyo. food not v expensive but apartment does. but as u said, u can share w/ ur friend rite? that would be a lot better. travel expenses is ok in HK. the MTR (our tube) is convenience & clean + cheap.
