Just for your info, for my first quick Hong Kong visit, I stayed at the Regal Hong Kong (Island Side) in Causeway bay. The train from the airport is the fastest and a convenient way to the city and the hotel provides a free shuttle service from the AEL station when you arrive (as well as back to the station when you want to depart to the airport) From the hotel, it is walking distance to a subway or to tram lines as well as shopping locations. Once you are in the city I got around pretty well with the subway and tram as well as walking. I did not have to use a cab at all. You can see alot of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon in just a couple of days. Further north would have taken longer in my opinion and I plan to leave that to the next HK expedition!
If you just plan to stay at the Headland, once the express train takes you to the city, then you can connect to the subway right away anyway. A visit to Victoria Peak is a Must. And take a walk around there. It's beautiful up there especially this time of year. A good guide book and friends there will do the rest mate. For me, for my first time in Hong Kong the best visit will just be Cathay City. It is fantastic. You'll see.
All the best for the interview. Hope to hear all about it back here on pprune ok, cheers
