Arrival!!

Yesternight I went to the airport to pick up Michael, who was taking a nonstop flight to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific.  It's a pretty brutal 16 hour flight, but luckily he was on a nearly empty plane so he could stretch 3 seats across.  Discovering (only at the last minute) that drinks were complimentary, and watching an assortment of TV shows and newly released movies along the way, he declared that Cathay is the only airline that he would ever fly again.

This is the interior of the airport express train that rockets a lucky traveler from Central Hong Kong to the international airport in a whopping 24 minutes for a little over US$12.  The train didn't show an odometer, but rather a flashing electric blue light that tracks the train's progress from station to station.  The train is quiet, clean and spacious.  Have I mentioned that public transportation here is lovely?
