Hong Kong - Week 1

So I've left Vancouver and am in Hong Kong now. It hasn't hit me that I'm here to stay yet, and I doubt it will until a couple of weeks when I don't head home. Though maybe when I start work on Monday, that might help convince me I'm staying.

I was a lot less mopey when I left Vancouver than I thought I would be. Maybe it was because I was getting excited, maybe it was because I was too tired to be mopey, maybe it was because we were walking through the airport with my 2 year old niece screaming how she's "pretty like her mama".

I have to say that my decision to splurge on the business class ticket was a good one. The girl who checked me in didn't blink when my two regular checked in bags totalled 65 kg, on top of which I checked in two oversize bags. They were supposed to charge me extra for everything over 60 kg, so the fact that she didn't charge me for those 5 kg, or the entire hockey bag extra that I checked in was kind of nice.

Though, business class Oasis airways wasn't anything to be excited about. The food was horrible as far as business class goes and I couldn't really say anything about the service because I was asleep the entire time. At the least I managed to sleep the entire flight with it because, damn, those fully reclining chairs are worth the extra money.

I managed to get into HK okay, but I incubated Katie's cold all the flight and I was SICK when I got into Hong Kong. It's taken me almost a week, and I'm still not completely over it, but I'm mostly getting better. I'm getting bored of typing right now though, so I'll finish updating this later, when I can fully go into why it took me an hour to claim my bags.
