Okay, so now I am sitting at HK International Airport, waiting for my boarding time 1hr away.

Wow, what a trip.  A few things that have happened.  My last 2 days were spent walking around HK.  Wow, haven't seen so many Philipino nannies in one shot, ever.  Looks like all 100,000 of them converge at Central on the weekends!  They were sitting on the sidewalks, underground tunnels, streets (yes, many streets were cordoned off in Central just for these flips), even the subway station stairs!  Then the surrounding malls are completely packed with them too!  It was so exotic that I had take a picture.  Damn.  Tried another Cafe de Coral (Da Gar Lok), and THEY. WERE. OUT. OF. PC. RICE.  ARGH x 2.  Me no likey ><

My mom's friends probably think I'm the biggest idiot alive.  Wow,  I have a LOT to learn about HK customs, especially the art of inviting people or dinner.

This morning I had a chance to eat one last breakfast with my friend AW.  It was really nice of him to take me out for breakfast.  Then I tried to take the MTR and found out MTR DOES NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS.   Uh oh.  Had to run to a crappy money changer and cash a traveller's cheque at crappy rates again.

Went to Wan Chai and picked up my HK Identity Card.  Now I am an officially government-sanctioned Honger  Awesomeness.  The pick-up process took less than 10 minutes.

Had  lunch with a good family friend PT by the Renaissance.  Wow, he is really nice.  Never really chatted with him (haven't seen him since 1996 when I was a kid), but it was really nice to catch up, we clicked.  Had a nice French meal, right down to escargots.  Yum   He got his driver to pick me up, and drove me to ifc where I checked in my bag and hit up the Airport Express.  Wow, this train is quick, HK to Airport in less than 30 minutes.

Hopefully the movies and food on the plane will be good.
