Hi everyone,

I just thought I share with my fellow Hong Kongers something I found on the internet that can be quite useful. I’m originally from the U.S. and miss many things back home. It is quite frustrating when you find something you want on the internet but cannot get it because they don’t ship to Hong Kong.

Well, I have finally found a site that let’s you do just that and not only do they let you purchase things from the states, they actually give you a U.S. address so that the product is sent to that U.S. address and directly reroute the product to you in Hong Kong. I was browsing through some site called lifestyle.hk and found an ad called onenow.com now I don’t have to bother my friends and family back home to buy me things that I can’t get in HK.

I think is pretty cool that this exist, and to think, the whole 3 years I’ve been in HK and have not found this site. I think your family and friends back home will really appreciate this site as well, now they don’t have to bother with your annoying wants.

One time I forgot about the time difference between HK and U.S and boy were they mad when I woke them up at 4 in the morning, lol.

Well the down side of this is that not all merchants are signed on to this site (apple)

Damn.

Anyways it’s still pretty useful so it’s cool

One note I must make though, they have 2 different ways of charging you one is called Payforme and the other is called deliverforme I suggest the deliver for method so you don’t have to pay so much and look for merchants that ship free in the U.S.

Trust me, you’ll save more and avoid paying for additional “unnecessary” charges.

Well, Today I just thought I do a little bit of exploring in this new shopping center which is kind of newly opened. As I did my usual shopping for new stuff that I don’t really need I came across this cool rack that is tailor made for the iphone. It’s called the Xtand I must say they made the product really useful for multiple positioning from verticle to horizontal.  I’m going to put this in the office come next week. The price really sucks though. At first I thought it would probably be about 150 HKD, But it turned out to be 298 with 5% off which I had to ask for to get it. Oh yeah, quick tip, most travellers think that bargaining is only appropriate at street vendors like lady street in Mong kok but I actually got this discount at DG Lifestyle store. Just ask them for it and see what they say. This is the first time I got a discount from this place. Well they should for the prices they are charging. Anyways going back, I think there was a show going on there or something but just seen this gorgeous young performer and I just can’t resist not getting a picture with her. Check her out.

me and the performer

Well I didn’t get a chance to talk to her much since she was in a rush to change and maybe getting off work.

Wish I had more time but hey, There’s always next time. It’s a small world after all. So aside from getting ripped off by DG Lifestyle for an expensive rack for my iphone at least I got this cool picture to show for it.
