Hi Ren,

I'll try to answer your questions:

1. Try the following:
a. Outback (Causeway Bay)
b. Spaghetti House
c. Icho (Japanese restaurant, located in 3F World Trade Center, Causeway Bay)

2.
a. Causeway Bay Mall (behind Toys R' Us)
b. Monkok Area (CTMA, Sino Center)
c. Yau Ma Tei (In's Place)

3. Depends, if original go to Pacific Place, Times Square, Sogo. If not, go to Monkok Ladies Market.

4. HMV (1F Park Lane Hotel, Causeway Bay; there are other branches)

5. Ocean Park

6. I think there's a toy trade show during that time, not too sure.

7. Advices: Don't skimp on the food budget, while you're there, enjoy! Careful in the night market areas, snatchers all around.

Above all else: ENJOY! ;D

Just PM me if you have any other questions.

Thanks.

I tried attending a Toys and Games fair in HK once. Whew! The crowds were unbelievable. It'll take take more than 2 hours of standing in line with a lot of sweaty people on a hot day outside the convention center. In the end I decided to just skip it and explore toyshops in the area instead.

i hearsd the toys and games fair are not exactly the collector toys thing.. more of a bazaar stuff for children toys
