Read the introduction about shopping in Hong Kong. For questions 61 to 65, match each of the items (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on AN- SWER SHEET 1.
Shopping ranks high among the great attractions that draw people to Hong Kong time after time, for the very good reason that Hong Kong offers some of the best shopping in the world in terms of value, variety, facilities and service.
This guide is designed to help you to enjoy your shopping to the full and to safeguard your best interests. We hope that it will tell you everything you want to know about everything you’re looking for.
Remember the two golden rules to follow when shopping in Hong Kong:
1. Shop around and compare prices in different stores before you make any buying decision, particularly if it is an expensive purchase.
2. Always deal with reputable establishments. This means Ordinary Members of the Hong Kong Tourist Association, identifiable by the symbol displayed on the premises.
The suggestions that follow may help you to make additional savings and, at the very least, should enable you to get the best possible value for your money.
Computers
The keen competition in Hong Kong has helped to keep prices of both imported and local made computers at very competitive levels and they all represent particularly good value. Same as for shopping for cameras and photographic equipment, you should check with the relevant sole agents, the recommended retail prices, accessories included and the type of guarantees expected. Moreover, make sure that the computer you intend to purchase is compatible with your domestic mains voltage. If you will be using a TV with your home computer, also check that it is compatible with your TV system.
Electrical and Electronic Products
When shopping for such products, you should adopt much the same procedures as you would when shopping for cameras and other photographic equipment. Additionally, you should make sure that any piece of electrical and electronic equipment that you intend to purchase is compatible with your domestic main voltage etc. (Hong Kong electricity is 200-voh, 50-cy-cle). Check further is the case of television sets and video cassette recorders.
Furs
Hong Kong is amongst the world’s leading exporters of fur garments. Manufacturers of fur garments from Hong Kong compete in the world market for the finest quality furs, and Hong Kong’s fur tailors are known for their fine workmanship. Therefore, when you buy furs from Hong Kong, you will be buying straight from the suppliers and the prices are in general much lower than in other parts of the world. For visitors from many countries, fur garments can be taken home at no duty or relatively little duty. Therefore, it may be well worth your while to check with your consulate office on customs regulations on fur purchases if your are not sure. There is a wide variety of furs available, both custom made and ready made. The prices vary, depending largely on the materials used. As always, it is important to compare the quality of the goods and not just the price alone.
Ivory
Hong Kong has long been renowned for the skills of its ivory craftsmen, more than rivaling their counterparts in China; so there is a vast array of carvings to choose from--antique and modern, made locally or in China. However restrictions on the importation of ivory items have been imposed by the governments of a number of countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK and Italy. If in doubt, you should check with your national consulate or trade commission in Hong Kong, or with the Hong Kong Government’s Trade Commission.
Shoes and Handbags
You’ll find shoes and handbags from just about every world-famous manufacturer for sale in Hong Kong. Better still, perhaps, you’ll also find shops where you can have shoes and handbags custom made for you--either replicas of something that’s already in your wardrobe, or to any design that you choose. What’s more if you purchase a pair of custom made shoes, you can always ask for your measurements to be kept it record, so that you can place further orders, by post, in the future.
Now match each of the products (61 to 65) to the appropriate suggestions (A to G).
Note: there are two extra statements
Statements
[A] It is important to compare their quality instead of prices only.
[B] You make it sure your tailor knows exactly what you want.
