Most of the red mini buses to Causeway Bay will used "daimaru". "Dai maru" or "dai malo" mean big road in Cantonese (dai=big, ma=horse, lo=road, malo=bigger road than "road").

You should look for the Caine Rd, but its a rare service.
As a foreigner (gweilo, gweimui, gweipo), you pronounced the Caine Rd as "keen lo" or "Caine lo", it doesn't make much different in local ear.

#13 green mini buses to Pokfield Rd and change buses there was your better choice but time consuming. You can catch the #13 green mini buses in front of "The Merton" or "Shanghai Commercial Bank".

TOTALLY Wrong
"Daimaru"<OLD HK>- Japanese Deparment Store/ Sugar St, Causeway Bay

Canie <Rd>'s charcter is: http://arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-c...rch.php?q=%B9D
while "lo" is:http://arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/lexi-c...h.php?q=%B8%F4

"Shanghai Commercial Bank"-
that #13 right turned to Smithfield Rd & you waits for NOTHING.

Esque, sorry for the misleading about Daimaru. I am misleaded by my local friends also. Maybe next time, I have to get info from a few older local friend...

For the "Shanghai Commericial Bank" because my "Public Transport Atlas" shown this is one of the #13 bus stand.

Long time I am not there, sorry.

Actually I moved to Kowloon side quite a while because everything seen cheaper in Kowloon side (my own feel, I don't knows how others Expat feel).

uh, "lou?" I say it more like "to." Daimaru was great. I remember going there with my parents when i was a kid.
