Last time I saw a US navy ship, it was "docked" in the middle of the harbor. Do they actually let them come to the pier?

Guess that Gateway is known to most of the Geos ..

[jayinhongkong]

Gateway's good, but there's still a few things you just can't get here...

[Netfiend]

and i wonder why i rarely see any customers in Gateway .. ( dunno abt Sunday .. if its open on that day )

[carang]

i know that when i go to gateway, my hubby takes $ out of my wallet first... otherwise i go WAYYYYY overboard! i've often seen others in there, but i think that we all spend so much when we go that that is what keeps them in business!

i love that place.

when i first came to HK there was a chain of shops called USA & CO. it was AWESOME! the prices were reasonable. they were located in times square.it was the first time i saw dr pepper in HK...gosh, i miss that place! they had EVERYTHING! you could possibly need.

Its natural to go on a spending spree there ... everything is "i want this" kinds ..

[carang]

exactly... it's like IKEA... i went in to buy a shower curtain and ended up spending $1700!!!

at gateway... i go in to buy a tin of beans and dog food and spend $900!!!

LOL...but i'm sooooohappy when i get out of there...ahhhh! DOUBLE STUFF OREOS!!!!!!!!!

[Netfiend]
