3. Travel Smarter, Not Harder:

• Negotiate Like a Pro: Don’t be afraid to haggle for better deals on souvenirs, transportation, and accommodations, especially in local markets and tourist areas. Learn a few key phrases in the local language to facilitate communication: “Taai gwai la” means that is too expensive, you can also say “Yau mou duck peng di” for getting a cheaper deal.
• Octopus Card: Purchase an Octopus Card for seamless travel around the city. This rechargeable smart card can be used on public transport, in convenience stores, and even at some restaurants. You can also add it in your Apple Wallet!
