Mini Play Area

Hong Kong International Airport is the main airport in Hong Kong. It is colloquially known as Chek Lap Kok Airport (赤鱲角機場), because it was built on the island of Chek Lap Kok by land reclamation and also to distinguish it from its predecessor, the closed Kai Tak Airport.


I spotted this at the airport..(WR1)
What is it?





A fully-carpetted mini-play area near the Departure gates.




MAS/MH73 (WR2)




My lunch aboard the plane.
The ice-cream was made in Hong Kong.
That was the first time I ever had an ice-cream on board.




Skywatch
The plane above the cloud!
(6.10pm, 28/11/09)

My previous flights were usually during the night time so I had no chance to see such clouds. It was my first experience watching the clouds from above. Amazing!

Twin bananas

Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
