Long week

It's been a long week, not a lot of sleeping and some really challenging days.

It's my last day in the office and we are all having some fun.
They are having to create a fish picture as small teams to come together to make one big team image.

Some of them like it, some of them really don't! 

Meal out

So we sit down and next to us are a Welsh couple who are trying to eat the food they have ordered. Basically they have gone for anything that seems English. Ribs, rice, noodles, chicken dish... Neither of them can use chop Sticks and soon Pat is helping them with the waitress...
I leave the ordering to Pat being very British and polite, I have to stop her though from ordering a fish with the head on! The food was lovely, didn't have a clue what some of it was.. Tried fried eel, tasted like pork scratching! The welsh man asked if he could try some, don't think he enjoyed it!!

YPat from the office kindly offered to take me out for tea. I asked to go for Chinese as the food is really nice here. 
I normally get a taxi everywhere but tonight we took the MTL during rush hour... Canned sardines had nothing on us! Seriously I don't know how they do that, mind you it's quicker than my journey to work every day. All these people were trying to get on a full train!

View by night

Same view at night... Really is nice, well apart from the building they are constructing that now blocks half the view, nightmare!

Breakfast

So after a night of no sleep, breakfast with a view. Hong Kong harbour... 

Lights

So trying to stay awake
to fall into HK time... Wander around the local area to see what has changed...

Not much to be honest, except the addition of Xmas lights on the buildings... Honestly there are more lights here than Vegas! 

Bangkok

So landed in Bangkok, sat on the plane while they clean it, ready for the last leg to HK. Find it really difficult to sleep on a plane! Managed to grab 2 hours before being woken be the child in the cabin crying... Really tired!!! Oh well only another 3 hours to go. Only good thing... Watching season 2 of the following 😀

Flight no 2

Took ages to get through transfer desk and a quick dash into the lounge to pick up wifi to call home... Phil too busy playing cod to have his phone nearby! 
Good job we have new house phones... £1.50 phone call later and a quick face time home before the signal dropped.
Now sat on the plane (Not as modern as the first one) waiting for luggage to be removed from people not turning up.
Let's hope my bag is there when I reach Hong Kong! 
Phil wing photo for you... I know the window frame is in it!!

Hong Kong

So I got accused last time of taking over the blog when I went away with work... So I like to be consistent... 😄

Chauffeur pick up and emirates lounge before I get onto the plane.

Rude not to participate
