A Bit Of Japan In Hong Kong and other Hong Kong Shopping Tips

Name of Shop: Sogo

Sogo is a very large Japanese department store chain. Within it's walls you will find everything from clothes and home furnishings to food and other groceries.

What To Buy: Sogo is a good palce to go if you want to buy just about anything. In my opinion the best deals are in the basement where you'll find the grocery store. If you're tired of paying HK's high prices for food or if you just want to get a little something for a picnic then Sogo is the place to go. Keep an eye out for the fresh sushi specials at around dinner time where the sushi is marked down on the spot.

What To Pay: If you come here to pick up food it's going to be much cheaper than eating out. Sogo also has many sales on clothes and other items so keep an eye out.

Name of Shop: Golden Computer Arcade

This is the place to go for computer parts and accessories. 2 floors of small shops featuring everything from hard drives and motherboards to software, books and blank CDs. You'll find it all under one roof here. In the basement you will find shops that focus mainly on computer goods while on the 1st floor you'll find more shops that focus on console games (PS2, X-Box, Gamecube)

What To Buy: Buy it all here from PC hardware, to software to blank CDs. I usually pick up a few software titles as well as some unique CDRs while I'm here.

What To Pay: Prices are pretty good on CDs and blank DVDs. Some software can be found for very cheap. Most hardware is priced close to what you would find in the states with the exception of some no-name accessories.
