Kai Tak Airport woes

I’ve just come across this cutting while clearing out old files

It brought back many memories of struggling through the hot and humid airport terminal with a young family in tow.

And being arbitrarily “bumped off” over-booked China flights when it was imperative to arrive that day or the next for business meetings. China Southern still owes me refunds for a number of “denied boarding” events from over 25 years ago.

On wet days trying to get a taxi from the airport. Forget it!

The pillars of the Kowloon Canton Railway Terminus in the Urban Council Centenary Garden

Kowloon Canton Railway Terminus was opened in 1916 while the clock tower was completed in 1915. Owing to lacking of space for expansion, the terminus was moved to Hung Hom in 1974. The station building was demolished in 1978 except the clock tower which was conserved under the effort of the Heritage Society. Six pillars of the station building were moved to the Urban Council Centenary Garden in Tsim Sha Tsui East.

Moored at the Ocean Terminal

The iconic MV DOULAS veteran passenger/cargo vessel has been grounded in Indonesia for use as a hotel according the SCMP magazine. It was a fairly regular sight moored at the Ocean Terminal when it was open to book fair visitors. The MV DOULAS. was advertised as the oldest ship of its type still operating at sea. It originally had steam powered triple-expansion engines.. On a visit I was given a drawing of the original engines
