Day 1 - 16 Aug 07,
We were told to be at the airport at 4:45 AM! Gosh, our flight is 6:45 am, do we need to be there so early? Obediently, i reached there on time and checked in luggage. Wandering around the airport till the time to board. Everyone was so excited on the plane, as the plane was moving towards the the runway, the captain announced "We are returning to the gate for checkup due to unidentified smell in the air-conditioning" 30 mins later, announcement came again "We have detected and fixed the failure, ready for take off". I was not scared or worried, but astonished cz never had such encounter in my life.
We touched down at noon, and checked-in to the hotel. My first meal in hk is wanton mee with milk tea at 茶餐厅. We walked around Mongkok later on. So happen that dad was travelling in hk also, had dinner with him that night, seafood feast at gold coast.
