4578. TRAVEL STORIES. HONG KONG. 25 - 27 FEB with Daniel

 25 - 27 Feb 2023. Hong Kong to attend Christie's wedding.

Friday. Morning 7.30 am GRAB to airport.  SIA plane photos. Premium Economy Seast. "No branded coffee cup," leading steward with red striped tie said to me. "Sustainability of profits. Save money. SATS also cater to other airlines. So, cannot be using branded SIA cups." The new stewardess had asked him to answer my question as she could not find any cup with SIA logo in the plane. In fact, this brand-less cup is just introduced.
 

Premium Economy Seat. Much more comfortable. Can hang your suit. See photo. 

Afternoon walk along Tsim Sha Tsui. Strong sunlight.

Night photos of Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade. Junk with lights.

Rosewood Hong Kong. Luxury hotel. No desk for computer work. In bathroom, I used the dressing table to do downloading of files to PC. Bathroom is large. Small white tub in middle. Shower room with two showers at both ends. So not cramped. Head shower from middle of tall ceiling. Marble black and white walls and mirrors. Sinks are stainless steel.

Given Room 3104. I asked for change as "4" is death in  Cantonese and Dan was attending wedding.

Train from Tsim Sha Tsui station to Central Station, ate Japanese curry chicken rice at Yonindro.

Maid and small girl excellent relationships. Girl takes her photo. Sits in pram. Volkswagon hot dog car.


Check out at 12 noon. I went to Hong Kong Station to take Airport Express. It has only one ticketing machine. The coin slot was jammed, so I could not insert the coins. The machine said "No change" but since it could not accept my $5.00 coin, it returned the $100 and two $10 notes. The fare was $115.

The customer service counter issued me the ticket. I missed one train owing to the faulty machine, but another arrived within 10 minutes.
