flight through the rainclouds

Van HongKong+Macau-April2009

and here we are again, sitting in the airport, waiting for the flight to BKK!

Finally we managed to phone first to Lee, since we didn't hear from him for quite a while already. So we have spent our last phonecredits on him, to know if he was doing alright ... and he explained that he has spent a month in hospital! But he's doing fine now, oooofff !!!

This morning, we searched for a shop SPY by Henry Lau .... quite an adventure in HongKong, to find hidden shops hahaha! The only info that we got was, that the shop was located on the 4th floor in a certain street, but only a small sidestreet, not the main street! After much going back and forth, we finally managed to locate the shop ... and it was closed :-) on Saturdays, only open at 15 pm hehe! That was exactly the time that the hotel limousine would bring us to the airport, so we'll still have to discover this shop!

Our friend in the hotel, Jay (his picture is not published in my picasaweb but he's cute!) told us that this was a very interesting shop! And there is another SPY in Soho (where we strolled yesterday night, but we didn't see that shop) plus some more shops in the Soho area, anyway, we exchanged email addresses and he'll give us a full update of our "to-do-list" !

The lounge here in the airport is very spacious, with a limited but nice choice of food and drinks. Ample space, and isn't space the new luxury?

Ah, before I forget! In case you don't find the HongKong pictures anymore in Picasaweb, I'm very sorry! For one reason or another Picasa burped and made a new folder ... so go for:

Weird huh? I don't know what happened ... let's just hope that the airplane won't have such weird behaviour! A bit anxioux though, since the sky here in HK is dark and it's raining quite heavy. Gliding to BKK instead of flying? Come and see tomorrow for a detailed report!
