    Wasting time is the number one reason I no longer shop in Hong Kong. I buy everything online now... most stuff is cheaper so I'm sure it balances out... got well and truly sick of 'Apliu Street' being the answer to every question... $20? Well, what's your time worth? Ask yourself that and figure out how much you want those cards...

    Popular, Commercial Press, any store that says 文具 on its sign.

    Any stationery shop or, if you are a teacher, the PTU shop in either CWB or Mong Kok.

    There are a lot of stationary stores in HK, however they are often very small and tucked away. Try things that look like bookstores - they often have stationary at the back. There is a chain of good ones but I cannot remember it's name... let me try looking...

    JP books
