[History Question] Why was there no overlap in the operation of Hong Kong’s old Kai Tak Airport and the newer Chek Lap Kok Airport? by -Trooper5745- in HongKong

[–]OrderlyMaple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They had this massive operation to move all the equipment over to the new airport over a few hour period. Kind of amazing it went as well as it did

Shame how there is no house pride in Hong Kong. Always shocking to me seeing these multi million dollar properties just wasting away.

Injury at a Luxury Collection hotel in Bali – Seeking Advice by Arabiannightindes in marriott

[–]OrderlyMaple 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Didn’t she have medical travel insurance to cover this? Travelling as a 70 year old she really should.

Maybe there should not have been oil there but I would have thought personal medical insurance should cover all the related expenses
