As with everything in this blog, I have been falling behind in reporting the traffic statistics, but I will try to get out the last few months over the next week or so.
As always this year, numbers are down big time compared with same month last year.

2020 is coming to an end, and this blog has been dead for a couple of months at least.
I started this blog a couple of years ago, as just a personal travel blog, due to my love and passion of traveling. I had also recently relocated to Hong Kong, and working at the airport I have both a personal and professional interest in the development and expansion of aviation in Hong Kong, and I wanted to document the progress of expanding to the 3rd runway. Also, living in Hong Kong opened up so many new destinations within just a couple of hours of travelling, so I was so excited to travel so many places.

With the Radisson Blu just across the street from the terminal it was a quick walk to the terminal, and another 5 minutes walk to the check-in area as it was (of course) located at the far end of the terminal. Check-in itself was quick, and we just narrowly managed to put our jackets and winter shoes in the suitcases before they were sent off. From here we had fast-track for security (which I found to be the rudest I have encountered in my travels so far), and then we had time for a quick drink at Starbucks before heading to immigration. Oslo Airport is apparently not built for international travels, and the line at immigration was huge, it probably took us 90 minutes to get through – I am glad we were early for our flight!
To the surprise of nobody the traffic numbers at Hong Kong International Airport are stable low in the month of July 2020 as well. As always, the numbers are compared to the month one year previous, so those numbers are in comparison to July 2019.

As part of my job at Hong Kong International Airport I was invited to join the GFS for a day of flying as a passenger to see how they operate, what help they need from us air traffic controllers, and to learn more about how we can work even better together than we are now. This was the 2nd time I was invited to spend a day with the GFS, and this time I was lucky enough to be invited for a familiarization flight both in the Challenger 600 and a Airbus Helicopter H175 (EC75). Date of flight was June 16, 2020.

Knowing that the house would be full of visitors for Alexhandras 7th birthday, and the fact that I needed a little bit of a holiday on my own, I decided to check out the Angeles City Beach Club hotel (ABC Hotel) for a couple of nights after the family celebration of her birthday was finished 😀

What is opening and what is not opening is changing on a daily basis, if not even more often. Yesterday I could read in SCMP that there is talks about a travel bubble between Hong Kong and 11 other countries, including Thailand, but then I also have come across some statements made by the deputy governor for international marketing at Tourism Authority of Thailand, Chattan Na Ayudhya.

I had previously been to Macau a couple of times on day-trips, but decided it was time to get to know the city itself a bit more, and not only the casinos, so decided to book a hotel for 2 nights. I looked around on Agoda.com for a while, and decided to book this hotel in the old part of the city, on the Macau peninsula.
