Off to Asia

It’s time again. Time to go out and explore a bit, get some new inspiration and meet some new people. As with everyone else, life these days have been busy. Work is always exciting and keeps me more than entertained (busy?) and I always manage to fill my personal life with even more activities; whether it is mountain biking, trying to eat healthy, house work, garden, friends, and the occurring work trips that always seems to impact ones timezone and life.

Off to Asia it is. This time it will be Hong Kong for 23 hours, followed by Vietnam for 2 weeks, and then Cambodia for 10 days, and another 26 hour Hong Kong Express visit en route back to the US.

Flying First Class with Cathay Pacific has also been on my to-do list, and with some creativity and some frequent flyer miles it all worked out.

Next stop Airplane!

For those that are not familiar with Cathay Pacific, their first class cabin has an incredible reputation. With just 6 seats it is very exclusive, and expensive for those that actually buy a regular ticket (think around $10K for a one way US to Asia)

It did not disappoint:

Hong Kong

While it was just a short layover, I tried to make the best of my less than 24 hour visit in this crazy city.

With a quick train ride you are in central hong kong in 25 minutes, and an easy metro system got me to my place without any issues. Managed to walk around the area for a bit, but jetlag kicked in and it was bedtime.

Next day was spent checking out “The Peak” via a tram ride. I did also walk 3-4 miles around some paved trails.

Time to see some more of this city

Next stop: Vietnam
