Wrong Terminal!

July 29, 2009

4 days flew by and we had to board the plane back to KL on Monday noon since our flight was at 3.05 pm. I always have the idea that if I ever step into Hong Kong I must take a picture with the ‘Hong Kong International Airport’ blue fonts printed/stuck on the glass window. Anyone who is a TVB fan will automatically know what I’m referring to. TVB dramas are bound to have some touchy-feely departing scene between family members, couples etc. and all they show will be those giant blue words (HKIA). Does that ring a bell anyone?

After we were done checking in our luggage, I told mum about this oh-so-important task. It was only 1.15 pm, ah…still lots of time to kill. I checked out all 4 corners of the large departure area and what I saw was just ‘Terminal 2′ in the EXACT BLUE FONTS on the glass. I was sure to be on the correct floor because that’s the only departure level, the rest of the levels above are all restaurants/souvenir shops and the one below is for underground I think. Not satisfied enough, I walked from end to end of the glass windows just to make sure that I have not missed out on those HKIA words, worse still, dad and mum had to tag along just in case I found those words, then who’s gonna take a picture for me if I was alone? :P

No, there’s no sight of the sign anywhere. Mum claimed that it probably only exist in dramas just to indicate to audience that it’s the airport. I knew that it’s secretly hidden somewhere but I had no choice but to believe her, because I had done my best looking for it. :(

I thought about this all of a sudden yesterday and found this!

Why do I not think of Terminal 1?!?!

We were in Terminal 2 then, and it will take a 2-minutes walk between T2 and T1 through covered walkways.

Never mind…probably dad wouldn’t agree to go all the way there, paranoid of losing our way and missed the flight as a result. No, reassuring his mind is of 4th degree difficulty. -_*
