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

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,

    Stephan

P.S.: My plane is scheduled to arrive at 6:50 on Tuesday - maybe we
     can also go into the city together.
