Landed at HKG this evening; long long flight with awful food and indifferent service.
Had bulkhead seat on border with Business Class. Everyone there had their laptops out and plugged in so they could escape the Hollyweird rejects that passes for inflight movies.
Except for Master and Commander which looked pretty good. Now that it's up for an Oscar, it's in the theatres again so I can see it on the big screen.
Customs was a breeze but this was the first thing that you see coming outta there. It's a bit disturbing.
Took the Airport Express, 23 minutes to Central and then a free shuttle bus to my guesthouse. Nice. BART has nothing on this way to the airport. Neither does Tokyo, BTW.
Even got to grab some dinner (wonton place across the street from Times Square, my PM arrival place). Don't ask me the name, I don't know it. Just know where it is.
See, there's a ritual I've got. If I arrive in time for lunch, I have wonton at Tsim Chai Kee in Central. I arrive after dark, I go to this "across the street from Times Square" joint. It revolves around food, yay!
Even dragged my friend out to Lan Kwai Fong for a pint. But that's it. Too tired to go on. Back at guesthouse to sleep...
