China 2006 - BJ->HK, Sanitization, Wrong-Sides, Chicken Claw

Second part of the journey begins today... going to HK. Early morning taxi ride to the airport. (Flagging down a taxi at the street proves easy&cheaper than a hotel-provided one.)

Lift panel at the HK airport gets "sanitized every two hours".
Observation: Small people, large cell phones. It's steaming hot once I step out of the airport building in search of the bus, actually even in the small gap between the airplane and the airport gangway.

Squid-scallop-shrimp-bbq-bun at HKAI Maxim's.

Slightly startling observation: Buses run at the wrong side of the street.

In the evening: Taxi has no pedals and no wheel at front left! And, HK cab drivers are not caged in like the BJ ones.
I ate 1/2 chicken foot during dinner, hopefully proving myself at least a brave gwailo. Supermassive tofu ice cream afterwards.

HK skyline definitely has changed from ten years ago. The landmarks of that time are but mere bystanders in today's highrise park in Central.
