Well we were officially tired when we arrived at the airport..but the landing site in Hong Kong is one of the most beautiful places i've eve seen. It looks like something out of Jurassic Park with lush green hills and light blue seas. And then we were even more impressed with the stunning airport. Joburg also impressed us but Hong Kong is definitely in a league of its own. You can get anything from Gucci to Versace and Burger King to hectic sushi!
Ok but I must mention that Emlyn got picked on at the airport a few times...first an airport official comes up behind him and requests quite demandingly that he takes off his cap. You never know what he might be hiding underneath...then everywhere there are extreme measures to curb the spread of swine flu (they sanatize the elevator button every half an hour and wipe down the escalator handles frequently). Also they check for temperatures through a screen you walk and Emlyn must have looked hot because he got pulled aside and had a thermometer shoved in his ear! Lol no swine flu luckily.
We then further annoyed the officials by trying to take our hand lugguage trolley onto the elevator with us..they proceeded to get us off the elevator and leave our trolley behind...its only then we saw the BIG sign stating no trolleys....oooops:)
Otherwise it was great munching on a Burger King Whopper and getting funny stares in the bathroom at we brushed our teeth and washed our faces (hey after a 13hr flight these things must be done).
Then it was on to Taiwan....
