Hong Kong : First Timer (Sleeping at Airport Edition)

Hey, it sounds a bit unwise, especially if my mom knew earlier about me, leaving the airport and strolling around a big Hong Kong, all alone but myself.

And thus, I would like to notice you Danger: not to follow this! 😊

I knew I should at least let my parent know if I would trek and enjoy what-so-called “Hong Kong Nightlife” unaccompanied and without any Wi-Fi or any possible way to reach. As I felt bad for this behavior, let’s skip that part in details:”)

I arrived at HKG after a flight that brought me from KL and that to me felt like a “sleep over” in a relative’s house. LOL. Yes, I am sure it was not my first or second time tho 😊 I did write about this in another post, peeps! So, hmm, you know what to do next, don’t you?

Sleeping at Hong Kong Airport

You would find difficulties like me if you wanted to have a decent night-sleep. The airport seating which I found were hopeless and unfriendly to let you to stretch out. However, Mr. Google said there was actually some seats and benches without armrests, so it would be a perfect place to spend your night, yet the number was very limited (at least for me! No offense!). In another case, if you can sleep while sitting down, you are likely to survive at any airport I must say!

Surely, they provide paid lounges or hotels and if you don’t mind sparing, go for it! 😊

Then, how about my version? What did I do to sleep properly?

I … had no ideas at first. But I found a corner at the 3rd floor (if I could recall my memories well), in front of some shops….. somewhere I could not describe well I know, my bad.

There was like around 6 m.sq space for me to rest happily while lying down, also none would take those areas, because it seemed like a closed territory.

But peeps, be aware, because the airport security did their job well! (I mean this). They would wander around and woke you up. That’s why, I would like to suggest you pray before sleeping 😊 If you were lucky enough you would wake up naturally not because of someone shouted at you haha.

Other sources said you could find “relaxation rooms, resting rooms, semi-secluded lounge chairs near gates, or comfortable sleeping chairs behind shops near a food court, and lots of armrest-free chairs in out-of-the-way areas”. Nevertheless, in my particular experiences, I did not try hard enough, maybe.

Let me call it a day! I do not have any intention to be an old windbag 😊

The real night at HK will be written at the other post. And many more to come, yes.

Although it was petite, it was like a Road to Damascus to the first timer of sleeping -alone, at airport, abroad, very-different from my home country-.

I’ll touch base with you the soonest!

Thank you!
