Hong Kong 2015 Itinerary

Happy couple

So in a (very) short span of 2 days, we managed to book ourselves on budget flights out of Singapore to various locations for the second half of 2015!

First up, we were Scooting to Hong Kong at 1:55am in June 2015, thanks to the rather good offer of $125/pax for a return trip:)

Being a work day, we were still doing last minute packing on the actual day and ended up at Changi Airport Terminal 2 for a late dinner. We ended up at Crystal Jade as I wanted some hot porridge to sooth my rather empty stomach, but unfortunately, the fish belly porridge at this outlet was not really fantastic.

We had plenty of time before boarding, and ended up at the entertainment zone, strolling in the sunflower garden, and catching a penguin movie. There were also plenty of sofa seats for us to lounge and charge our phones 🙂 Gotta say that Changi Airport is really quite a pleasant place to be at!
