Cramped & Crowded VII: Dense to Sparse
On our last day in HK, we busied ourselves packing (almond biscuits take a lot of space!) and finishing our cherries and pomegrenates. By 11:30am, the cleaner had arrived. The landlord also called for some final instructions on the checkout. Because our flight was at 8:30pm, we had to find some place to loiter. But it was challenge since we had a whole lot of luggage to drag along. Taking a chance, we relocated to Times Square. I scouted the building to find a suitable place to squat. Found a food court in C!ty Super with ample space. Unfortunately, come lunch time, we had to justify our presence there. We ordered food whenever we got strange glares from the cleaning staff... kinda like paying rent. Bored as we were, we took turns roaming the place. Nine floors of shopping and I bought nothing. Haha. For lunch, mum and I shared a bowl of ramen from Ganpachi and a box of sushi.
At mid-afternoon, Mr. Singh picked us up and sent us to the airport. Beautiful waves danced on the ceiling. Was an interesting effect given the scale of the departure hall. With more hours to kill, we went shopping again. Was surprised to find that the shops sold things at very reasonable prices. The G2000 there was priced the same as outside! Check-in was painless and by dinner time we had cleared immigration and security. Finished off the rest of HKD small denominations at the food court. Had baked rice, pork bun, polo bun and wantan noodles. Impressed that in addition to public phones, there were PS3 kiosks for bored travellers. Unpleasant is an apt word to describe my journey home. My blocked nose made the descent very uncomfortable. On the tarmac, my ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton. Not to mention so hot and humid... And that prolonged my sickness back in KL. It was 3:00am before I fell asleep on my bed. Thus ends my Hong Kong trip!
