This is the emptiest I’ve ever seen it. Chowing down after a refreshing shower (and yes, clean underwear and shirt). Even though the 4hr flight leaves at 21:45, dinner is served. I plan on skipping it to sleep, hopefully the 2 seats next to me will stay empty so I can stretch out (I gambled and picked a middle seat a few hours ago)
I still find it odd that I know exactly how to move through HKG airport and to this lounge…
It tasted better after the delay 
With a red Bordeaux.
Spam flavoured macadamia nuts
Poster on bus – it looks like she is chugging a wine bottle
Wait, they needed to explicitly forbid urinating and defecating on the bus?
Diamond Head was nice and clear
On the collision avoidance system.
While there are only like 3 planes here in Guam, I can see it being more handy in Hong Kong
Slept quite a few hours on the last leg… Went from gmt-10 to gmt+10 on last flight (now Sat eve here in GUM after crossing intl dateline), will end up gmt+8 in HKG
5 hours into the flight (as I write this, not when posted) daylight looks centered on the flight (I watched sunrise earlier from YYZ to EWR).
Breakfast and lunch in biz, though no entree choice for lunch!?
Lie flat biz (UA BusinessFirst) seat using an upgrade, 11hrs…
Followed by just under 24hr layover, meeting a friend for dinner.
Low lying fog over lakes and rivers in New Jersey.
On board flight 1 of 10…
PS those 2 cities aren’t in those 2 countries…
Not too much to say, really.
Basically 2 days hanging out with so-so weather. Though still hot and humid.
Walked around a lot, slept odd hours, revisited some old haunts, took a random LRT (light rail) neighbourhood ride at the end of the NE line (lots of cranes and 17 story residential towers under construction), ate a bunch of tasty inexpensive food (dhosas, mmm) and unfortunately wasn’t able to meet up with a good local friend.
Misc notes:
– prices have gone up in the last year, noticeable on MRT fares and food (my favorite masala dhosa is up to S$2.30/US$1.85 now)
– 2 new subway lines under construction
Singapore Flyer at night from taxi into town (the biggest Ferris wheel in the world, it’s twice as tall as the one in Seattke)
Best masala dhosa
Hanuman, I presume
Little India little up for the upcoming Deepavali festival
Vietnamese seafood noodles and a large Carlsberg (S$5/US$4 and S$6.30/US$5 respectively)
In the green City Mall.
No, I didn’t eat here, just walked by.
