Hong Kong Typhoon..........

[Monnyjay]

In Hong Kong for a holiday and there is a typhoon happening at the moment - very windy and the rain has not stopped....... quite eerie, we were in a huge shopping centre and they started closing all the doors and people were frantically running everywhere. We had about a 20 minute walk to get back to our hotel (in Mongkok). Stuck inside for a while now and the safest place to be. It has been rated an 8, so it's quite severe.

If this continues we won't make it across to Macau, bit of a shame. Lots of Diamond/Jewellery shops here - one retailer is almost on every corner - apparently, they are going to be bigger than Tiffany's here. Of course, I had to go in and have a look - I found the sales people to be very pushy and obnoxious, some very nice pieces though.

Hope it clears up by tomorrow! Check out the shops in Central for less pushy and obnoxious sales! They have bigger rocks too!

Please stay safe and have a great time checking out the goods!

i remember couple 10's when i was a kid. IMO...diamonds are priced lower here in the U.S.

Dancing Fire, I really don't think I would purchase any diamonds whilst I am here, I realise they are cheaper in the US. I was given a price for a 2.07Ct GIA D SI1 triple ex at 31K. I know that is way too expensive.
