Hong Kong Airport

One of my new found friends, an old chook and I just transferred to our Dragon air flights. I muttered something about finding internet and scooted away, she was very Canadian and slightly embarrassing to hang with.

So now just waiting in the airport for my flight which is about 5 hours away. But will shortly be checking out the food situation around here, The clock says early but tummy says lunchtime!

Well the plane was interesting. I had the great treat of sitting by myself with the most insane korean guy I have truly ever seen. He was manic! The nice mummy behind me thought Autism. Unfortunately for me this meant that he often did strange things like call over 5 hostess's to ask whether he needed to sign a slip, getting up right when we got our meals causing impossible balancing acts with me holding both of our trays and forcing me to turn off my reading light, and at one point television, the latter of the two I naturally refused. But on the upside everybody around me took great sympathy on me and were pretty sweet.

Because of this odd boy next to me it was difficult to have a conversation, he tried once when he was rather angry that my Vegan meal came far earlier than his but that was about the extent of our convo. Fortunately his lack of english and sense did allow me to call him both a pongo and an angel. He had no idea what was going on though.

But my greatest feat was the airhostess that I got so good. Taking sympathy on me at first but then became convinced that we knew each other and asked if I still lived in Auckland, which of course "I did" and by the end of the trip I left him with a great wave, and a "Well I'll see you soon I guess, hope you have a great trip" lol lol lol. I rule.

Vegans must starve their whole lives. I'm going to find myself some meat. Much love XXXX

Sounds like an eventful flight!

What were the movies? Which one did you watch first? Was the elephant's trunk up?

Hope you enjoy your meat. Good luck for the next leg of the journey.

Love Mum xxx

I'm happy that you got to call him a pongo. He does sound like quite the naughty little angel.
I think i'm going to take out those green vaults and that phone card that you left me tonight. Fun!
