hi! your blog is really a nice catch specially to those who plans to travel to hk-macau. I am just curiou on how did you pay for your room reservation in Golden crown guest house. We are also planning to stay there for our suppose to be visit this year. Thank you and God bless!
hi, the owner (contacted thru email) provided us paypal to enter our cc details. Thankfully it is not a scam. Golden Crown is a favorite in girltalk femalenetwork forum, so at least we felt secure about the transaction.
