Arrival in Hong Kong
I arrived into Hong Kong around 11.30pm, couldn't stay awake on the last leg of the flight, but doubt this will keep me from sleeping tonight. The Hong Kong airport is huge, super modern, like arriving at New York customs, but nicer, welcome included. Zip zap, no luggage to wait for, I'm out in no time. I get a metro card called Octopus, and a sim card. The Airport Express takes me to the centre in 20 minutes, (it's like the Heathrow Express), but there is no more hotel shuttle by the time I get there. The sim card comes in handy, as I take the subway and call the guesthouse 'en route' with change of plans (they were picking me up at shuttle stop). The metro system is fabulous, massive, HUGE. They have plasma screens too keep you entertained while you wait for the train, and little electronic indicators once you are on the train to know where you are & where to get off.
