I am booked for CNY to go from Mainland China through HK to AC. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this. Should I exchange RMB to USD in HK to take or can RMB be exchanged easily in AC? Also Viagra or Cialis. In reading forums and elsewhere there is mixed messages on whether it's real in AC. If so should I load up on vitamin V in HK? Also condoms? I am average for a westerner so will it be tough to get condoms there?

Thanks
Will

it wont be tough to get condoms there, some girls actually have them,
considering most bareback, so better to cover up, viagra and cialas are copies, and not
gov regulated made, but from china or india, or who knows where, cheap as toast
though, but you can by real generic from the pharmacies now as of 2 months ago,
so take your own,...as far as money i would exchange it and only take 100$ denominations,
havent seen too many chinese there, so not sure they see much rmd there....
cheers

there are some shopping malls in AC that have money changer shops. some of them are handled by the mall itself so they are really safe but they also have a high exchange rate.  they don't have any issues accepting RMB or USD in exchange for PHP.  outside the malls, there are small money changer shops but those usually have a reputation of cheating their customers so please try to avoid those.  girls will accept any currency but establishments like clubs or restaurants will only accept cash in PHP or credit cards.

viagra is available in local pharmacies but do try to but it from one called Mercury Drug Store.  ask around as everyone will know where the nearest branch is located.  that is the most reputable one in the country.  don't buy any from street peddlers in AC.  i'm not familiar with cialis so it might not be available locally in AC.

condoms are available in local pharmacies and supermarkets.  on whether the size if good enough for a western dick, I suggest bringing a box of them from home along.

enjoy AC!
