Q. I have a 48 hour stopover at HK airport and is it possible to explore Hong Kong without renting or driving a car?
A. There are few places in the world that are so easy to get around without a car as Hong Kong, in fact, using a car is the worst you can do to yourself. Hong Kong is very crowded. Go tot he free tourist information at the star ferry on Kowloon and ask for maps and help with tourist spots and local transport.
How much would a ticket to and from Hong Kong be?
Q. My friend and I are saving up money for me to fly up to Hong Kong, I'm staying with her when I get there so no hotel fee, we are pretty young and she has a job teaching English to kids over there, I get an occasional job sometimes. Anywho, I can't find out how much just a regular seating is and itd be very helpfull. From Dallas to hong kong.
A. Cathay Pacific constantly runs promotion fares, simply log onto the airlines' website or CXpecial.com. You've to prepare around US$1000+++ for a round-trip economy fare depending on the time of year. Normally it's cheaper to fly right after Chinese New Year when demand drops drastically. Hotels and rents in HK are most expensive, others ie food, transportation and necessities are cheaper than the US. Check www.DiscoverHongKong.com.
EDIT
Hong Kong and China are not the same though they are loosely fitted as the same country. As an American citizen, you do not need a visa in visiting Hong Kong but one is need for entering China across HK's border.

how much of salary will be needed for a month in Hong Kong?
Q. we are a Sri Lankan family and my husband got a job offer in Hong Kong? we have no idea of the salary . how much will be enough for a month in HK?
A. Depends on your lifestyle and how good you're in staying away from all the spectacular shopping and dining yet bearing in mind that Hong Kong is world famous for being a wonderful shopping and dining paradise. It also depends on where you're renting the place. To enable some luxurious shopping, dining occasionally, and assuming renting a small apartment near the downtown core, the mean salary should be around HK$25,000 - $30,000. However I also know people living in the remote New Territories, rarely go shopping nor eating out could live comfortably for a salary of HK$8,000 - $10,000 a month. A salary range of HK$25,000 - 30,000 though will be for a well-educated/professional with some experience. HK$8,000 - $10,000 are for fresh grads/low skill labour.

Are establishments in Hong Kong closed on Good Friday up to Easter Sunday?
Q. I am going to Hong Kong in March 31. I was thinking if establishments are closed on the Holy Week, like malls, the Ocean Park, and others. I keep on searching the internet but I don't get a clear answer.
A. Hong Kong does have a substantial Christian and Catholic population, the people observe Christmas and Easter as their official public holidays, but all shops and restaurants are business as usual. The people there are very hardworking, rents are expensive as well so no business can afford to have too many days shut off, they have just had the Chinese New Year break. Enjoy your trip!
