My last day in Hong Kong. Went for a shanghai pedicure, which involved 2 Chinese men, 1 on each foot, massaging and removing the dead skin off my feet... My Qantas flight to Sydney was at 2000. I checked my bag in at Hong Kong train station and took the airport express through to the airport around 1800.

It was hot, and there was a lot of steps a...
