Hong Kong Stop Over


I just finished my breakfast and finally found my gate for my flight to Bangkok. The flight was pretty brutal to Hong Kong, for starters I did not get an aisle seat (makes a big difference) and also the seat was so hard on my ass. I was able to get some sleep but not as much as I would have liked. One of the few positives was that I did make friends with the two people I sat next to.


After we arrived in Hong Kong I immediately got captivated with the view from the airport. Through the wide panels of glass I was able to see the city scape and a huge chain of mountains in the background. It was so much better than when I had a stop over in Taipei. The background looked straight out of HWY 99 in Stockton.



After the customary security check I looked all over for a decent place to eat. There were a lot of places to be sure but I just was not in the mood for Asian food. I figure I was going to be eating Thai/Chinese and maybe Japanese food for the next 3 weeks so I was looking for something American. After a long walk down the terminal I was able to find it, I was able to find my beloved McDonald's. Nothing better than a Sausage Egg McMuffin breakfast meal at 7 AM Hong Kong time.

So now I'm just here at Gate 34 waiting for my flight. Excited and anxious to get this vacation started.
