On assignment to Hainan Island, China - Part 05 - The flight back home (End)

Continuation from: On assignment to Hainan Island, China - Part 04 - The Le Meridien Resort

After a two hour bus ride from the resort we arrived at the Haikou Meilan International Airport, one of two airports for the island. After checking in with Dragon Air, we saw this advertisement in a restaurant - Hainan Chicken Rice!

However, it confirms the notion that such dish is not from Hainan Island but a creation from Malaysia. It is actually categorised as such at the airport.

Note the price. Very expensive.

Based on the exchange rate at that time, the dish is RM59.21!!!

The dish was crap. The rice was just plain rice and the chicken was just boiled. Yuck!

This airport is relatively small and has a nice garden in the centre of the terminal.

I took a video of the toilet system. How cool is that.

After a quick change in plane in Hong Kong, we took a Cathay Pacific and headed home for the final leg of the journey.

Bye-bye Hong Kong.

The end.

Sink design at the Loft Hotel, KL Sentral

If you have the chance to visit the Loft Hotel in KL Sentral, just pop into a the common washroom. You will be able to see interesting designs. One of which is this common sink that is like arranged in a circle (just like in Harry Potter's movie).

Trip to Penang Island & Hard Rock Hotel - Day 1.3 - The Hotel room

[see previous postings]

The room that we chosen was the suite. The room was on the 5th floor and overlooks the car park. A similar suite overlooks the swimming pool and if you are keen, you can get the suite with direct access to the pool situated on the ground floor of the hotel.

The room comes with a king-size bed. Note the photograph of the Beatles at the head of the bed.

The TV and the low laying cabinet. The hotel provide DVD player as well as a radio system.

Toilet is a bit small for a suite and it does not come with a bathtub.

The suite comes with a kids room. Can easily fit in 4 kids as the beds (including the sliding one) are slightly smaller than queen size. It also comes with a well stock library of children's books as well as soft toys. My kids went wild.

The main attraction of this room is the Sony PS3 console plus TV.

You can see the cubby holes with books and soft toys.
