HEY GUYS! I’m in Hong Kong NOW and holy crap, 18 hour stay here, next flight out to Haikou isn’t until 11:45 AM tomorrow (10 pm). 14 hour trip. I hate long trips. But oh my god, the plane was amazing. It’s a Boeing 777-300ER… 9 to a row in economy but business and first class have it awesome - their seats are also beds. Not bad in eco, though, I got free booze (the minimum age is 18 on Cathay Pacific, apparently, although my mom was angry that I ordered some…) and it’s video and music on demand so it wasn’t too bad - although I really wanted to pull the laptop out. It also has an exterior camera, like the space shuttle, so you can see what’s underneath around the front landing gear! Awesome for landings and takeoffs - it made me really appreciate how hard it is to land and take off the aircraft, especially at Hong Kong - the runway is basically capped at the ends by *water.* * * 18 hours at an airport. At least I have my laptop! :D * * * *
