I had been thinking for visit US during summer vacation. In the first step, we had to decide the flight from Osaka to US. You know, there is a international airport in Osaka, called the Kansai airport. There're only three direct flights from Kansai to US. These flights destinations are LAX(Los Angelas), SFO(San Francisco) and YVR(Vancouver). Well, there is no direct flight to east coast in US. (There is a lot of flights from Tokyo to east coast, I think) When we visit to east coast, we have to change airplane at another airport, in any case. We had to consider about timetable, flight hour, destination, service, mileage and cost. Finally, we choice the Cathy Pacific airline from Osaka to Newark, via Hong Kong. It was first time I've boarded that flight.
Our trip started frying for Hong Kong on Friday night(7/August) and we stayed one night, because leaving on Friday was cheaper than on Saturday. Our airplane landed at Hong Kong international airport around 10PM, and we stayed just one night in the hotel where is located near airport. All hotels in Hong Kong are expensive, I think. (Japanese yen is really week in this year)
Next day, we had a spare time half day, so we went to down town by Airport Express Line. It takes just 30 minutes from airport to downtown. It was nice train, and provided good seats. It was comfortable. There is a lot of good public transportation in Hong Kong, and we tried to took a street car with high deck. It was interesting, and enjoyed to see the down town from double deck seat.
