HK Business Trip - Day 1

Brief update: Just came back from Hong Kong 2 hours ago. Am at Singapore currently.

I shall start from Day 1.
Upon reaching HKIA at 8:30pm, I was very impressed by its huge-ness, until I was busy rambling to myself why is it so huge that I have to walk a whole freaking 15 minutes, with the walkalator's help to the conveyer belt. It also got me into great shock when I was busy looking at some magazine and this big black dog came sniffing my bag, thinking I look like a drug addict perhaps.

I then took a taxi to the hotel and after the usual check-in procedure, I headed straight to Lan Kwai Fong. Woohoo! It was splendid and a very interesting eye-opener for me. The pubs are the size of a toilet, no kidding. It can only fit 10 people to the max. So, thats why Hongkies and foreigners love to pay to stand to drink on the streets. I guess its a good way for them to mingle around too.

The whole experience that night was overwhelming as I have always wanted to do this due to the HK drama series' influence and there I was, for once, sitting through the night at California pub, listening to live jazz and sipping my vodka lime...
until I realized my biggest mistake ever, I don't have a camera with me. Shit.
