Once upon a time, I was in HK spending my money when the Xrate was 3.9

That happens!! If you buy a slim polariser, make sure it comes with a cover because your lens cap wont fit onto the slim polariser!!

I remember when it was mid 3.x.... very sad time to shop. Where can I get foreign exchange cash without going to those dodgy ones in Chinatown etc? I want the rate they are showing on TV!! or close to it! Buy FX currency in anything..¥ is a good buy too right now and so is USD.

So how to get a good spot for the Mardi Gras?

My poor brother is working in HK, but his salary is pinned to $AUD, so he's getting an effective pay cut every time the aussie goes up.

So where are we meeting? I'll be in town from the morning doing tai chi and then maybe a game of badminton.

oh! if you're interested in badminton I play at the ultimo community centre on saturdays from 2-4pm. Everyone's welcome to come along, even if you have no experience. It's all very casual.

I guess find out the starting time of the parade, be there an hour or two earlier to catch some candids before the parade when the participants are preparing.

Then find a good spot

I know it starts on Elizabeth St, cnr Bathurst near Hyde Park

So was I. Badminton isn't dissimilar, so if you're good at squash you'll be good at badminton.

Good in theory, but he only comes back once a year, and I always want things NOW!

His salary is based on Aussie, but he gets paid (and taxed) in Honkie dollars.

Or just don't do the parade itself but to do the candid stuff.. I'm sure those people would love to pose for you just to get noticed.

Ed, when is the once a year?

He comes back sometime between December and January. You've just missed it.

Candids sound good.

Then, at least he's paying 20% tax rather than the 48% here. He has the obligation to give you a spare 1DMk2 for his next trip!!

Hope he gets taxed in HK and avoid the double tax crap.
