frankly I can't imagine myself coming to Sgp to shop.

Our prices are so high it makes better sense for a tourist to go elsewhere .

Our Hotel rates are more expensive than Hkg.

What happened ?

1 word : Landlord.

Hahaha

Lucky got amazon, taobao, iherb

Hopefully next time got ifood [grin]

HK not really cheaper. Rental also very expensive. But the difference is 7%.... ... ... which can be a lot for big ticket items.

Yes I think more and more people are trying things at our malls and buy from these online shops.

Frankly I'm actually very supportive of our own retail industry but at the prices you can get online, it's ridiculous to not to buy online.

As for me our enemy is not our retail shops. It's our country's landlords.

How can we hurt them?

What can we do? Buying from shops hurt my pocket.

HKG restaurants - if you want to eat there, you must make a reservation, even on a weekday.

But so many times I hear my HKG Tong See say even these restaurans are operating at full capacity they close down becuase of the rental.

Sgp is heading to this direction. But Fools are born every minute, there is no shortage of some people willing to make a gamble to lease a shop space at crazy price.

Damn funny hahahahaaaa...

Gss sale is rubbish la... Kns sale.... Buy stuff online without sale cheaper den Gss sale prices

That is totally correct.

My wife went window shopping and then look up the same item which has 40% discount

Yet bought online the same item online at 70% discount plus .... Free shipping

Depends lah. If you go to cheap restro, confirm need to book because everyone flocks there. Want to eat, then go to the better ones. Weekdays will be ok. Weekends may need to book.

 

Rental as always will kill off a lot of businesses. No choice when landlords suck them dry. Increase prices too much and patrons disappear from stores. Nothing they can do but to close shop. A lot of trades are gone because of that. Now a lot of retail shops in HK also feeling the heat with less mainland chinese nowadays. I think it's good cos a lot of them were so cocky [laugh] [laugh]
