Working from CLK...
Hong Kong International Airport -- Lufthansa flight's delayed by an hour. I'm already early, because I'm travelling with family for my brother's wedding in Wuerzburg, Germany. So what to do? Set up office at Starbucks! If it weren't for the fact that Starbucks' wi-fi provider were netvigator, I would have cut my netvigator broadband subscription ages ago. Not only is there zero customer service to speak of, the company's sales tactics are scam-like. But netvigator is not the only service (what service?!) provider guilty of this. There's also Hutchision, Wharf T&T to name a few others. All this aside, when I do need to log-on, the wi-fi service is seamless. Even though, at the airport, they dare to charge their own subscribers HK$40/hour (a little less than US$5/hr)! To be fair, this is much less than what I've been charged in most European airports, which is nearly double that. But I pay for it, because I can turn idle time into productive time, like writing this blog, reading and replying emails, checking in with my office on MSN messenger. But time's up....gotta board now.
