HKIA, here i come again

Once again I touched down at Hong Kong International Airport.


This is the 5th time as I can remember.


I always anticipate the moment before landing.


You would feel yourself surrounded by the ocean.


You feel the wheels are pushed down preparing for landing.


Still u saw the ocean below your feet a moment later the flight touched the land. AMAZING.


 


Walked out from the plane I said in my heart “Here, I come again.”


I actually have the feeling of homecoming.


However, then I realized that I lost my way to find the next departure gate.


I reached at train transfer area. A place I never saw before in here.


 


I was at the first of the Q for confirming my next flight.


A fella yelled at me "The Q start at at here".


I am very sure that i was at the right lane (first class, business class, marco polo club member).


Unwillingly I moved myself behind the Q  of 3 people.


 


Exit from the security area. What appeared it front of me, nothing has changed.


I walked around the shops.


Seeing people selecting the choice of souvenirs, goodies and etc.


Sales people promoting their products, chatting among themselves, discussing where to have lunch etc.


Comfortable. The environment is so peaceful and calm.


 


Looking out, you see the aircrafts coming in and going out.


Before the aircrafts was landed you saw the ground crews were preparing, the mechanics, cleaners, workers were all standby.


Once it was parked. 3 men carried the big stoppers and placed it at each wheels.


The cleaners were waiting for signal for them to go into the plane.


The catering truck and luggage forklift soon arrived.


Their routine duties start once again.


 


I have my lunch at the lounge Noodle House.


Then, I don’t know why I like the bathroom a lot, so I refreshed myself.


 


Now, I am waiting for my connecting flight to SFO.


 


@The Pier.
