A sixteen-year old girl in Tallahessee, Florida recently claimed to be carrying Best First's child. When asked about the experience, she said, "He's like a comet; long, awe-inspiring and comes once every hundred years."

I'll get Legion's coat...

Still suffering from self-delusions? I'm so sorry. I thought you would eventually outgrow it.

A shame you haven't.

I can't believe that we went to the same school...at the same time...and never ran into one another.

How's DeKalb doing, anyway? I heard you guys got like 3 feet of snow.

Pretty sweet - just using the WiFi at the airport before we fly out, but definitely go to Queen's Road East where there's a little model/toy/geek store with a big Games Workshop sign there...I just picked up MP-04 for 850 Hong Kong dollars, which works out at £55.50, a total bargain, considering I just saw it at the airport toy shop for 1450 HKD. I got Classics Astrotrain and a clouple of MyClones (Bumblebee and Hot Rod) as well.

The city seems very clean, even if the air's quite polluted, and food seems quite expensive, but otherwise I've had a good time here. Did I mention I got MP-04 for a bargain price?

Professor Smooth · Post by **Professor Smooth** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 12:19 pm

Good on ya! Sounds like it's a cool place to be. I bought my MP-04 last month for 14,999 yen at TRU.

Metal Vendetta · Post by **Metal Vendetta** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 10:29 pm

14,999 Yen = £64

Hong Kong superior

Bollocks, looks like my hosting's gone down. Will get right on it.

Is it that same crazy airport where the plane has to dodge about two hundred buildings to land on the runway?

Funny. That's what I remember most about Hong Kong. The low flying 747's that looked like they were going to smash into hotels.

It was voted hands down the most dangerous airport in the world by pilots.

Last I heard though, they were going to shut it down and build a new one. That was ten years ago.

The new one being the island-based Chep Lap Kok, that replaced Kai Tak, set in the middle of an urban area, as the principal airport of Hong Kong in 1998.

I remember watching a programme about their large-scale land reclamation operation, coincidentally, about a decade ago.

Nice link.

"Landing at Kai Tak could be both challenging and spectacular. Depending on the landing direction, the aircraft might need to pass over densely populated areas in Kowloon at low altitude. At the northern end of the runway, buildings up to 6 stories tall rose just across the road. The other three sides of the runway were surrounded by the harbour. Aircraft were literally landing in the harbour within the city; some passengers claimed they could even see the flickering of televisions through apartment windows as they approached the airport at low altitude.

As well as the difficult and potentially dangerous landing, Hong Kong's growth stretched the airport's capacity. The airport was designed to handle 24 million passengers per year but it typically went over 28 million, plus 1.56 million tonnes of freight during its final years. The airport ran out of landing slots and parking bays, and flights had to be turned away. Moreover, the clearance requirements for aircraft takeoffs and landings enforced a limit on the height of the buildings that could be built on expensive Kowloon real estate. The airport caused serious noise pollution for nearby residents. A night curfew from midnight to about 6:30 in the early morning also hindered operations.
