I made it back to Hong Kong! There's a big typhoon hitting Taiwan this Saturday evening. I beat it by leaving a half day earlier.
Last night I joined about 10 other Sloan MBA alumni and Jackie in Taipei for a barbecue dinner at a trendy restaurant named MoE. Most were in '08 year so I knew very few people. It was nice to meet everyone though, and incidentally 4 of us were in town from Hong Kong! Sadly I had to step out for a work conference call during dinner... sigh.
Woke up early this Saturday morning in Taipei to try and catch the 11am flight with Stephen's uncle Arthur. I was originally at noon. But Cathay Pacific is SOOO good that I was put on the flight even before Uncle Arthur... and upgraded to business class! Got to the airport at 9:40am, thru airport security, had a quick chat with Uncle at the lounge and boarded my plane by 10:05.... hmm... how effective is that security :) NO complaints from me though...
(On a side note... i fly hundreds of thousands of miles with Air Canada/United each year, only to have to fumble through upgrade coupons and resort to begging for an upgrade... I have pretty basic marco polo cathay pacific status, forgot my number so just showed my AA number! Just a better flying experience here in Asia)
After a modern and fast Airport Express train ride to Hong Kong Central station, I decided to walk home instead of change trains. Its a lovely day in Hong Kong, 30 degrees C, sunny. Now I'm relaxing back at home (they fixed my Air Conditioner in the week I was gone).
Although I don't plan to eat... I decided to cook pasta to store for later. This past few weeks, I always though my kitchen was small, but couldn't figure out what was missing. Guess what??!! I DON'T HAVE AN OVEN!! Trying to make garlic bread only to open the lower cupboard full of pans. Clearly I'm not the foodie/cook that I aspire to be...
Tomorrow I plan to catch up for dim sum with other MBA classmates in Hong Kong, and maybe dinner as well. So much for my pasta; maybe I'll pack it for lunch this week at work!
Enjoy your Sunday!
