Since Anne was going to be in Asia for a couple of meetings, I also took the opportunity to visit Hong Kong. Anne was there for a long weekend before heading off to Beijing and Seoul. What I did was to eat (see list of meals below).
Flights to HK via SFO. Somber news about Air France plane lost enroute from Brazil to Paris. Concern about H1N1 had a few passengers put on masks; I did that on and off, a bit uncomfortable. Tim told me another flight from the USA arriving that day had a swine flu patient on board and people were detained.
Ling & Wally met up with me at the HK Airport Express Station and we went to dinner after dropping off my stuff at Tim's apartment.
