Come and see my world

Posted by Kushal | Filed under

I found some time to get processing done. Here’s the view on ground outside my apartment block. Sussex street is city centre so you can usually overtake the cars if you’re walking.

A few minutes walk away is Darling Harbour. Unfortunately some of the area is under construction. There is gardens and an open theatre and other entertainy-type things.

Outside this wheel a couple made me laugh. Add Aussie accent to it:

Woman “…let’s go on it. Come on, let’s.”

Man “fucking here you go” he throws a bag carrying something they’ve bought on the ground at her feet.

Woman “what? What are you doing?”

Man – walks off “i’d rather give birth to a chair.”

Darling Harbour looks great in the day and night. I can actually see half the view below from my apartment!

I walked about in the freezing cold for a while, then retired to the IMAX to enjoy an evening with Mr Depp. My first time in an IMAX. Not sure about them yet. For special screenings it’s amazing but for widescreen movies, I don’t see why, if you want a bigger screen, you wouldn’t just sit closer to the front.

Am I really in Oz?

There’s something funny going on here. It’s overcast, it’s been 11 degrees and this “Australian” train station looks suspiciously like Harrow on the Hill:

Am I in one of those make believe worlds where everyone’s playing a joke on me?

The only thing that’s different is that the people actually talk to each other on the train..!

Hong Kong airport was cool. Here it is:

The view is amazing with mountains surrounding the airport:

Cathay Pacific was ok but I have a whole bunch of adapters because they couldn’t put this simple picture on their website. UK adapters are fine. I use the Chinese adapter as it’s less bulky:

aircon and sensitive ears!

Posted by Kushal | Filed under

I have this weird thing going on where my ears acclimatise to 35000ft and don’t work properly when I land. Very painful. Wonder what I can do about it. Maybe I should learn sign language.

I bought a latte at McCafe HK. That was straight after I had a McPiss in the McBogs… I don’t even know how much it was. (23 HKD).

the aircon has cleared my sinuses. I can smell again! Wish I couldn’t. The Aussie lawyer next to me has seriously khatta feet. Nose is watering..

As usual selecting “vegetarian” has made no difference to the food. They just look at me stupid and say “but you have to pre book vegetarian.” No, Cathay Pacific, you need to link your website to your inflight service department so they can see the information.
