As many of my friends know (otherwise you probably wouldn’t be reading this), I make regular visits to Asia and try to make the effort to come here at least once a year. There are various reasons why I do this which I will explain if you post a question in the comments section.
My only regret is that this HK visit will be only 10 hours because it’s a stopover on the way to Singapore. Despite it’s problems (corrupt government, indifferent civil servants, Harbourfest, mainland pollution of all kinds), it’s still an exciting, dynamic place to visit. Kick-ass food too!
This is my first time back since last November on the eve of the SARS scare. Even though my flight landed at 0645, the airport seems strangely empty. Maybe because the bulk of the flights land later in the day? Or maybe they feel as I do, that it’s just too early…
However, take the A’Ex to Central and see a busy city going to work. These people dun feel that it’s too early.
