Honkers was better than I expected. We managed to have a hell of a laugh on the way over with a great Purser (I wont disclose his identity for obvious confidential reasons) as well as a wicked crew & flight deck. Also part of the crew was Marlon, a reader of this very blog and owner himself of a blog<\/a>. We got to Hong Kong at around midnight, as planned, and decided to hit the famous Fooong Looook Wy or whatever the district is called for some good ol\u2019 drinks. Ended up with a crowd of locals having fun and in need of western attention. Crazy. We ended up in a club called \u201cFong Underground\u201d shaking out derrieres till the early hours. But that wasn\u2019t enough. We made a pit stop at 7\/Eleven and stocked up on Tsingtao until we bumped into one of our DXB-HKG passenger\u2026 He recognized us and sent his wishes\u2026. Good times all in all. I\u2019m now back at the hotel writting those words. Will be hitting the town tomorrow\u2026 Pictures to come (Sorry the USB cable didn\u2019t make it to the cabin bag as it usually does). More on the trip as I hit the sandpit.<\/p>\n

\u2018Parte dos\u2019 of the Hong Kong layover was a nice and easy stroll around Central District. Home to many, let say countless designer shops and the well known IFC mall. For now over a month, I\u2019ve been looking for the perfect Birthday present for my Mother. And today only did I manage to find it. It\u2019s now official I HAVE IT ! No words on it though.<\/p>\n

Voila I\u2019m about to catch up with some sleep before we board bound to Dub-Dub. And as promised, here are the pictures :<\/p>\n
