Arrived safely in Hong Kong after a fairly uneventful 8 hour flight sitting in cattle class. The only thing remarkable about the flight was the little inseat TV kept freezing or reverting back to the menu which was quite frustrating. Eating on the plane hasn’t improved any. Especially now that the food is more “gourmet’ . Nothing beats the experience of trying to eat couscous elegantly with a blunt plastic fork while crammed between other passengers also attempting to eat the same thing.
Spent some time wandering around Hong Kong International Airport trying to decipher the various maps so that we could get our boarding pass. After getting some directions, we got our passes and went through security again to get to the departure lounge
Managed to get some Hong Kong dollars from an ATM and got ourselves some food … two dishes of number 225, some steamed pork buns and drinks for $205 HKD.
Now we have a 3 hour wait until our flight to Zurich, which we will probably spend browsing the shops or just chilling out in the lounge area.
