We were greeted by a Thai Air A380 when we alight our plane (an advantage when you are on budget airlines since they are park outside the terminal building)

There is also a special shoot area, which allows camera enthusiast to try out interesting ways to shoot with their cameras. Wonder will Canon have an annual theme in this zone?

On our way to dinner bumped into the Fu-Ho Ice-cream van (富豪雪糕流動), this is the only licensed mobile ice-cream company operates in Hong Kong. It's menu remain unchanged since it started its operation (except its price) but is definitely worth a try.
