Calling International Phone Number Prefix: 00 - international direct dialling - followed by a two or three digit country code, followed by the national number with the leading zero removed. The international notation for this is + where +=0 in the USA and +=00 everywhere else. If you store international numbers in a cellphone with a + on the front the network figures it out. China e-cny 数字人民币 (digital currency) Hong Kong Visa - Requirement for each country
$1000 bill are not accept widely in Hong Kong. Go to a nearby convenience store (7-Eleven, Circle K) or supermarket (Parknshop, Wellcome) to make a purchase to convert it into smaller bills. ATM - some ATM do disburse $1000 bills. But you insert the card, look at the screen, it will display what types of bills it will disbruse. $100 / $500 / $1000 Octopus card is a must for all transportation needs and can be use for food and retail payments HKU - Campus Visitor Registration (required for weekdays) Map - HKBus 巴士到站預報 check bus arrival time Japan Visa - Requirement for each country Visit Japan Web (VJW) - Immigration/Customs/Duty-Free QR Code ( for faster border clearance & no need to fill paper forms )
Coins - if you are accumulating too much and have an IC card. Go to a reloading machine and dump it all in. Remember the minimum recharge amount is 1000 or increment of 1000. - Expanding on this, 7-11 all have the same machines, you can buy anything even a 12 yen umaibo and dump all your change in and get it back in the lowest number of coins or even a note.

Credit card - be reminded that credit card slip is not given out at most shops unless requested Tmoney card is a must have card for your transportation needs. Can be use for purchase. Card never expires but credit balances expires after 5 years of non-usage Wowpass card is only needed if you do not any credit card. Because a lot of food stores are cashless and peopleless when taking orders (aka machine). Discover Seoul Pass (my opinion) is not worth it. Traveling between attractions may take up to an hour if you plan correctly. You are really rushing through a lot of places. Time to stay at each attractions should be kept to a minimum. - Some people may say, the included Lotte World Adventure ticket is worth it if combined with other attractions. Remember, lineup for rides/photo spots are already extremely long even when entering on weekdays at 0945. Entering the park in the afternoon is recommended. - Without Lotte World, it's probably cheaper to pay at each place individually as you can enjoy each attractions at your own leisurely pace
