The flight from Ottawa to Hong Kong is a long march; 5 hours to Vancouver, 2 hours stopover, 14 hours to Hong Kong. The plane is loaded with kids returning for X'mas vacation. Over 20 hours in the air, eat, nap, watch "Without a peddle", "Heat Team" and "The Notebook", then I arrived Hong Kong.
Get through custom and pick up my luggage, drag the luggage to the bus station and found my optopus card has expired. Fortunately, I already draw some money from ATM (via Plus). So, I buy a ticket.
The ride to the city is pretty smooth, the TsingMa bridge is light up in the background, created a bridge of light in the distance. The bridge is getting closer and eventually the bus goes on the monstrous structure.
Arrived Causeway bay without further event, actually notice a lot of new buildings by the harbor. A lot of the harbor is filled and land is created. No wonder people are complaining the new devlopment destory the harbor and the "Preal of Orient" scene.
Join Uncle Dennis and the rest for some Italian food to celabate Jocelyn's birthday. This Galano place is okey, for the standard and the price range.
Settle down and get to sleep. But since I have some jetleg, I wake up at 5:00am on X'mas eve.
