Hi, Ballkey is right; Peak also has some malls and great eating places - if you can, go in the evening. You can also try Oceanworld there - wonderful sights and rides - u can spend a whole day there (will cost abt HKD 550 though). Remember to carry change for the bus and train rides though; Bus doesnt give change at all and Trains dont take note sizes >20$. Lantau island is a great ride (but maybe a bit boring since there is only the huge metal buddha there and a monastery). Try and reach the Hollywood Causeway (sorry - may be missing the name) at TST and take a boat ride @ sunset to HK central - is really great. Chinatown (Kowloon side) if you want to pick up some cheap fakes. There is a good Indian/nepali restaurant there - Kanchan behind 7-11 off the main road. u will be walking a lot, so wear comfortable shoes.
