Hong Kong Airport – Deja Vu
This will be another quick one, folks, so CLS you won’t burn the toast! Basically I just wanted to use and abuse the free internet connection at HK airport. This really is a great airport, how every airport should be in fact (Bangalore, please take note). Good job I like it here really, as I’ll be passing through it a total of three times on my jaunt through Asia. Two down, one to go.
On my last night in HK, I wandered down to Kowloon harbour as I wanted to watch ‘A Symphomy of Lights’ (their words, not mine). This is a light show put on every single night, using something unique to HK – the beautiful, futuristic skyline on Hong Kong Island. It’s so strange, I’m a bit of a philistine when it comes to architecture really, but I never thought something so man-made and recent could be so beautiful. And beautiful it is, there is no other word for it. I showed my usual lack of restraint with the camera, so I’ll put the photos online as soon as possible. The light show lasts 15 minutes, and is accompanied by atmospheric music. Basically, all the skyscrapers on the opposite side of the bay put on a light show in time with the music, and, despite sounding quite corny, it’s actually quite pretty.
And again, it sums up what I like best about HK. They put something like that on for free, every night, just to show off what a great place it is.
Come immediately, if not sooner.
