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 &amp; flight deck. Also part of the crew was Marlon, a reader of this very blog and owner himself of <a href=\"http:\/\/marlonleecr.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">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&#8217; drinks. Ended up with a crowd of locals having fun and in need of western attention. Crazy. We ended up in a club called &#8220;Fong Underground&#8221; shaking out derrieres till the early hours. But that wasn&#8217;t enough. We made a pit stop at 7\/Eleven and stocked up on Tsingtao until we bumped into one of our DXB-HKG passenger&#8230; He recognized us and sent his wishes&#8230;. Good times all in all. I&#8217;m now back at the hotel writting those words. Will be hitting the town tomorrow&#8230; Pictures to come (Sorry the USB cable didn&#8217;t make it to the cabin bag as it usually does). More on the trip as I hit the sandpit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Parte dos&#8217; 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&#8217;ve been looking for the perfect Birthday present for my Mother. And today only did I manage to find it. It&#8217;s now official I HAVE IT ! No words on it though.<\/p>\n<p>Voila I&#8217;m about to catch up with some sleep before we board bound to Dub-Dub.
