April 17- Hong Kong First I should tell you that the Novatel airport in Bangkok is terrific. They're the only one AT the airport. They met our plane and shuttled us off although we probably could have walked five min. through the parking garage. Inside the lobby is almost hanger size with restaurants on both sides and shops down a side street. W...

Expected the ex-UK colony Hong Kong to be a breeze after mainland China. Flight from Shanghai was great, decent legroom in the first economy row, nice meal and free drinks. For the last hour the seat-belt light came on for a bit turbulence, which meant it was a mad dash for the toilet on landing, knocking a few first-class passengers out the way...

After spending three days in Las Vegas at the InterBike Tradeshow, I flew home Wednesday night, arriving in Seattle around 10pm. The next day we left for the airport at 3:30pm for the flight to Hong Kong. The flight to Los Angeles was uneventful and we had a quick snack and a drink in LAX. Our flight to HK left at 11:30pm. The Cathay Pacific pla...

First stop: Hong Kong, yay! Stayed at The Emperor Hotel near Happy Valley and arrived totally jet-lagged at 8am having had virtually no sleep. D'oh! the problems with midday flights from the UK. However after a short (4-hour) snooze we did feel able well enough to take a somewhat sweaty walk through the part and up to meet an old work mate over ...

Well I'm in an Irish pub watching the Chelsea match with a couple of beers!!! Luckily the pub has internet access. Having a fantastic time, this is just the maddest place, James and I bought our cameras today so we're all ready for our great sight seeing tours! Our hostel is ok and in a great location but we have a broken bathroom door and James...

Hello! I caught in a trouble before leaving my country! Today I was going to go to KIX by JR-West train, but the train was out of service because of the accident of nearet line since morning. Then I got a ride in perents' driving car. Flight to Hong Kong was very well, the plane has just arrived on time. To make sure mymobile phone, I made a pho...

Day 3 Arrived in Hong Kong about 11:00 pm. After going to customs and baggage claim, it was close to midnight. Gil and Mike (co-workers) met Ted and I at the IFC and we hopped in a cab to get some rest. All in all, the flight wasn't too bad and uneventful. Just got out of the shower and heading to bed. I'll get debriefed by the guys and start wo...

Here we are in Hong Kong, we have discovered what it means to be hot. My god I feel like I'm melting every time I walk outside. Nothing can prepare you for this, except maybe marathon sauna sessions. We have discovered closeness like never before, the room we're in here is tiny! It has a double and a single bed and about 30 cm between them. The ...

We arrived in Hong Kong on the Wednesday at around 5.00pm we got to our hotels. Unfortunately this was the last night of the tour and by the time everyone got showered and back down it was after 6. This was one problem I had with the tour is that they should have had a second night in Hong Kong with the group. Because we got there so late there ...
