My first 24 hours in Hong Kong

Mr Tom Hanks has done many a great role that I'd love to live out. Embarking on a space mission, living on an island, or actually having enough co-ordination to play ping-pong.  Sadly the pair of Toms shoes that I stepped into in Hong Kong, were from the Terminal.  Thats the one where the dude gets trapped at the airport, for years.  Fortunately for me, it was only over night, and it was in the rather awesome Hong Kong International. Kind of like Heathrow Terminal 5, but on steroids.

As I stepped into the daylight this morning, it emerged that Hong Kong was on alert for Cyclone level eight.This basically meant that no buses could run, and all the things I'd planned to do today were closed! 

Now I don't know if it reached level eight, but we did have a typhoon and it was pretty bad, as this roving reporter will try and tell you.
