Just arrived. Haven't got my luggage yet.
In some wikiconferences there's been some kind of pass allowing participants to use public transport. Of course, that usually only covers the days of the conference, not before/after. Still, it would be nice to know whether that's the case, and what and when such a pass might cover.
Well, I guess I won't know before I get to the venue by 10am. Sadly, nothing about it here: http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong#Local_Transport

Hi,
I will arrive on Tuesday morning at 6:25, so I guess I will be able to make my way toward the venue around 7:00. It doesn't look complicated to get there, I will simply buy an Octopus card and take just the next train into the city and either change to MTR or a bus line - that can be easily found via Google public transport navigation as there is free Wifi at the airport.
A bigger challenge will be my way back - my flight departs on Monday 0:25 - so basically at Sunday night, right after the party. I looked up public transport from Shek O beach to the airport, which doesn't look good - ~2:5 hours trip... Maybe someone has a better suggestion for that journey.
I'm leaving on the same plane (or at least at the same time). I'd be willing to share a cab, or, if more people are there, maybe the fantastic volunteers in Hongkong can arrange for a mini-bus. If we an fill a car, it's probably not very expensive per person.
Bye,
StephanP.S.: My plane is scheduled to arrive at 6:50 on Tuesday - maybe we can also go into the city together.
