2024年末年始の香港遠征: 2024 New Year visit to Hong Kong

更新日:

本日は年末年始に香港遠征した時のお話(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)
Today I'd like to talk about my new year Hong Kong visit. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

年末年始のご挨拶でもお話しましたが、遠征の最大の目的はカウントダウンの花火の撮影です(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)
As I mentioned a little when I posted new year greetings, the main target was taking countdown fireworks. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)

なお、飛行機撮影についても、12月31日と1月1日も撮影に行ったので、2023年の撮り納めと2024年の初撮りも香港でやりました(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
As for airliner spotting, I went spotting on 31st Dec and 1st Jan, thus, I ended 2023 spotting and started 2024 spotting in Hong Kong. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

ちなみに、前回と同じ山に行って、前回と同じように風邪を引きました(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
And, I went to a certain mountain again which I had visited on my last visit and had got a cold on it but I got cold again..(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

なお、日本への帰国便は1月2日の19時50分の便でしたが、羽田の事故の影響を香港で受けました(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
(そーいうお話を含むことになるとは思いもしませんでした(≧≦;)
Anyway then, my return flight was originally scheduled to depart at 19:50 on 2nd Jan, I encountered not a little influences related to that accident occurred at Haneda Airport.(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
(I have never imagined to include this kind of stories ..(⁠≧≦;))

出発〜初日(12月30日)
: Departure and the first day(30th Dec)
2023年大晦日: The last day 2023
2024年元旦: New year day 2024
帰り(1月2日): Return to Japan(2nd Jan)

■出発〜初日(12月30日)
: Departure and the first day(30th Dec)↑: 香港へは、最近お決まりになりつつある仕事後に会社から空港に直行し、1時40分のUO629便に乗る方法です(⁠・⁠∀・⁠)
↑: The outward way to Hong Kong was the one that is getting to be my usual way that going to the airport directly after work to take UO629 whose departure time is 1:40 . I seem to select . (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

↑: 会社では軽い宴会がありましたが、不幸なことに自分が最終退社、飛行機ギリギリ(;;)
↑: There was a small party for the last day but, unfortunately, I was the last person who left the office. Almost no enough time to the flight. (;;)

↑: 何とか出国、この深夜帯の制限エリア内の開いているお店も増えてきました(^ω^)
↑: I could manage to leave Japan, I could find there were more shops open at this midnight time in the restricted areas. (^ω^)

↑: 機内へ入り始めた矢先、急にドアが閉められた様子(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
ボーディングブリッジにいた組(自分はちょうど入ったところ)はそのまま待機(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
職員さんたちの話し声が聞こえて、、なにやら燃料が漏れている?様子(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)かなり心配
↑: Just the first group started boarding, the door seemed to be closed suddenly, those already on the boarding bridge were forced to wait on it. (I was just entered it). (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
Thanks? to the place I was waiting, I could hear the staff's talk, I could hear some fuel leak occurred? (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)This made me worried badly,,,

とりあえず、何とかなったよう?で、1時間くらい遅れて出発(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
Anyway the troubles were solved sooner? we could depart around one hour delayed. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

↑: 香港に到着(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)★
↑: Just arrived at Hong Kong. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)★

↑: 飛行機の方のブログでは既に報告済みですが、着いてすぐに前回工事で閉まっていた撮影ポイントが開放されていそうだったので、まずはチェック(・∀・)☆
↑: This has already been reported on my airplane blog, that I found the point which had been closed for construction work last time could be seen available, I went to check it. (・∀・)

で、まず向かったのが太子(Prince Edward)
Anyway, the place I went the first was 太子(Prince Edward).↑: 日本を出発する前日にカメラのセンサーにでっかいゴミを発見したのですが、セルフクリーニングではとれなかったので、太子(正確には旺角東)にあるNIKONのサービスセンサーにまずは直行(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: Just 1 day before the departure day, I suddenly found a large dust on the sensor and it could not be removed by my self cleaning, so I went to Nikon service center which is located at 太子(Prince Edward)(Exactly, 旺角東(Mongkok east) the first.

Nikonのサービスセンターはの新世紀廣場(Grand Century Plaza)のタワー2の20階にあるのですが、最初間違えていたタワー1へ行ったのですが、、、
(ちなみに、私が香港にいた頃は旺角(Mongkok)の駅の側のビルにありました)
 Nikon's service center is located on the 20th floor in Tower 2 of 新世紀廣場(Grand Century Plaza), but I wrongly visited Tower 1 at first...
(Anyway, it used to be in the building next 旺角(Mongkok) station when I lived in Hong Kong.)

が、(⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;
BUT(⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;

↑: タワー1の20階はCANONのサービスセンターでしたw⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w
↑: I found Canon's service center there. w⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w

仲いいな(゚⁠ο゚⁠人⁠)⁠)(゚⁠ο゚⁠人⁠)⁠)
They must be good friends (゚⁠ο゚⁠人⁠)⁠)(゚⁠ο゚⁠人⁠)⁠)

↑: とりあえずNIKONのサービスセンターに到着
↑: Anyway, I managed to reach Nikon's service center,

↑: I could arrive just after they opened but forced to wait for some people. (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠;⁠)They came so early. (⁠゜⁠o⁠゜;開店直後に行ったのに、待たされる(⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠;⁠)みんな早いよ
↑: Anyway, I managed to reach Nikon's service center, I could arrive just after they opened but forced to wait for some people. (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠;⁠)They came so early. (⁠゜⁠o⁠゜;

が、センサークリーニングを依頼するも、香港の休みもあり、受け取りが暫く先と(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠!
昔は1時間だったのに(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
I tried to ask them center clearing but knew the earliest day I can receive would be in the next week, due to the Hong Kong holidays and so on..(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠!
They used to complete just around an hour in the past..(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

 仕方なく諦めました(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
(まぁ、ゴミがあるのは予備機、今回は2台体制なので、、、(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠))
There were no choices for me but to give up. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
(Ok, ok,,,,the one having dusts is the second one. This time I brought 2 cameras,,,(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠))

まぁ、センサークリーニングはできなかったけど、ネタは仕入れたしね(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)☆
I could not ordered sensor cleanings but it should be OK?, because I got a topic. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)☆

⇩とりあえず、サービスセンターの様子をどうぞ★⇩
⇩Anway, please see the views of Nikon Serice Centre Hong Kong★⇩

サービスセンターの後は、
After going to the service center,

↑: 模型屋さんと会食&お願いしていた模型のチェック
(模型屋さんも太子なんで(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠))
↑:I went to see model planes store to see them, check those I had asked them to keep and to go for lunch with one of them.
(The model planes store is located in the same area, 太子(Price Edward)(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠))

 自分が病み上がり直後なのもありますが、模型屋さんが風邪気味だったのがちょっと心配(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)彼も自分も、、
He seemed to be suffering from cold, I also had just recovered some then, I got worried about both, (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠) he and I...

心配だったので、持っていた日本の風邪薬全部あげちゃいました
(これが後で裏目に出る(゚⁠ο゚人⁠)⁠?)
He was suffering from the cold so badly that I gave him all my medicines brought from Japan.
(This would make my future worse (゚⁠ο゚人⁠)⁠?)

ところで肝心の模型は、、
 Anyway then, the models I bought this time were,,,

↑: とあるエアラインの黒歴史(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)出来よし
↑: the dark history of a certain airline. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)Quite nice quality
↑: や、ファンタジー模型をお買い上げ(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)出来よし
↑: And some fantasy models. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) Also good quality

↑: 模型屋さんの後は、宿泊する空港近くのホテルへ(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)
After visiting model planes store, I directly went to hotel near the airport. (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

↑: 降りた駅(ワールドエキスポ駅)ですが、前から駅内から飛行機撮れないかなと思っていたので、ちょっと駅内を散策(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)
↑: I walked and saw around inside of the arrived station, AsiaWorld Expo station, because I had wondered for long time if there are any airliner spotting place in this station. (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

↑: (飛行機の方で)既に投稿していますが、ホテルは駅とは連絡通路ありで、展望デッキのある、おすすめできるホテルでした(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
↑: (On my airline blog) as I have posted, the hotel I stayed is linked to the station by connecting aisle and it is quite recommendable hotel because it has observation deck. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

↑: 夜はちょっと香港撮影の現地調査(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)
↑: After I took a little rest, at night I went to a certain place to check its latest status. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

↑: モンスタービルディングの西側の棟の注意ですが、撮影可能になったらしいとらですが、これは??
↑: This is the alert on the west side of Monsterbuilding, I remembered I had heard that we are allowed to take photos again ,,, what do you think of it??

まだ撮影不可ですよね(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)??
It still is saying not(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)??

↑: あと、これ、東側の棟の注意ですが、この書きぶりはこっちも撮影禁止な気が、、、(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)???
ちょっとどうしようか考えます(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
↑: It must be the worst info,,,?
This is placed on eastside,,,,this sign also say not(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠???
Now I'm wondering if I should post report or not. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

■2023年大晦日
: The last day 2023

↑: 大晦日は、朝から山ポイントへ飛行機撮影(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)バスは始発から2番目、まだ暗いっす
↑: In the last day 2023, I went to the mountain point for airliner spotting from early morning. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)I took the second bus of this day,, still so dark,,,

が、(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
But,,,,(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

↑: 香港での撮影で過去一くらい濃いガス((⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)
It was quite strong heat hazes,,, almost the strongest in my spotting life..((⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

↑: しかも、一日通してほとんど改善せず((⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
↑: In addition to it, the conditions didn't recover at all. ((⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

 一応ターゲットさんは撮影しましたが、要撮り直しかもですね(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)
I could take some targets but may need to try again,,,.(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)?

↑: ターゲットさんの離陸が若干押したので、ダッシュで、ホテルへ(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: My last target took off a little lately, I rushed to the hotel.

↑: 夜はとある場所というか、まぁ、いつもの山でカウントダウンの花火を撮影するので、ダッシュでホテルに戻り、機材を夜景の機材に替えていつもの山へ(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: I planned to take countdown fireworks at a certain point on the mountain, yes, at the same favorite place as usual, where I took fireworks in the past. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

長居するのでとりあえずコンビニで食糧を大量に買いましたが、、、
Expecting long time staying on the mountain, I bought lots of foods, and when I tried to warm some of then at the 711,,,I found

↑: ティシュ発注しすぎでは(⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;??
今流行り(いや、かなり前か)の誤発注とか?
箱単位ではなく、紙の枚数で発注したとか(゚⁠ο゚⁠人⁠)⁠)ないか
↑: The 711 owner ordered tissues papers this so much. (⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;??
Is this a kind of miss orders, which can be seen often these days.? (゚⁠ο゚⁠人⁠)⁠)
(Should be long time ago?)
He input paper number not box number. (⁠゜⁠o⁠゜⁠;??

↑: とにかく、、ご飯温めたいのに、電子レンジのドアがちゃんと開きません(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)無理やりちょっと空いた隙間からお肉をレンジへ
↑: Anyway, due to them, I could not fully open the microwave doors. (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠ So I put my meal in the microwave through the narrow gap I could manage to make.

さて、頑張って歩きます(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
Let's start climbing..(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

↑: 前回同様かなり早めに撮影ポイントに着いて、まずはセッティングですが、、、
↑: Same as the last time, I arrived quite earlier at the photographing point and started set up first..

 2つある三脚のうち、予備機の方の固定の部品が外れたのか、全く固定できず(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
Maybe due to some parts dropped or something, I could not fix the angle at all with my second tripods...(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

↑: 仕方なく、地面(正確には岩の上)に置くような形で固定(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
(結果的にこれで良かったのですが((⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)
So,,, I tried to fix the angle of my second camera by the way putting it on the ground. (Exactly on the rock.)..(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
(This led the end well. (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)))

そうこう三脚と30-45分ぐらい格闘しているうちに、、、
食べ物に大量に蟻が集まり、即食糧のメインディッシュを含む半分が廃棄に(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
During doing such things as struggling with my tripods around 30 to 45 minutes,,,
A lot of lots of ants gathered to my foods, almost half of my foods, include main dishes got instant disposal ..(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

↑: とりあえず、密封されていた無かじり?無傷の食品で、腹を満たす(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
↑: So I could eat only those sealed could evade their bites. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

↑: 2023年大晦日の夜は天気視程もよく、夜景も最高でした(≧ω≦)
↑: The weather at the night on the last day 2023 was fine with good visibilities, the night view was superb. (≧ω≦)

花火本番はもちろん0時からですが、ニュースによると23時からもなにやらあるらしいので、楽しみに待機
Of course the fireworks would start at 0AM but I had heard something would be held from 23PM so I waited for it excitedly..

↑: が、山からは最初の数秒何かが上がったのしか見れず(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: But from this mountain, I could only see something were launched at the first few seconds ,,,(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

さて、もうすぐ新年(⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)
いよいよほんば本番(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)ドキドキ
0時前の深夜の山の中にも関わらず、結構な人が集まるw⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w
New Year will come soon. (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)
Yes, the showtime will come soon..(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
Here is in the mountain, now is midnight but many people have gathered. w⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w

↑: とりあえず花火の撮影は無事に終了したよう(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)。。。
↑: Fireworks seemed to be taken without any problems. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠).....
↑: 後から画像をチェックしたら、この日は風が強かったので、確実に三脚に固定したと思った本番機の方が結構な枚数微ブレていました(ボツは1/4くらいかな(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠))
I found later when I checked the photo details, due to the strong winds this day, there can be seen little blurs on many shots taken by main camera.(Almost 1/4 of them. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠))

代わりに岩の上に置いた予備機は風上にも岩があったこともあり、ブレなし⁠(⁠゜⁠o⁠゜;⁠
(仮に無理やり三脚に固定したら全滅だったかも)
In turn, thanks to be placed on the rock and another rock on wind side, those taken by my second camera were taken without any problems. All shots done well. (⁠゜⁠o⁠゜;⁠

さて、撮影後、0時過ぎからですが、、、
こちらも正月の挨拶で少し触れましたが、この場所、いろいろと他にも撮影ポイントがありそうなので、せっかく来たので深夜にも関わらず探検(調査)開始
Then after taking fireworks,
As I described a little on my new year greetings, I tried to see around other stops near this point.

↑: でも、(画像じゃ分かりづらいけど)とにかく風が強い(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)サムイ
↑: But, it may be a little difficult for you to know from this photo, it was quite strong wind this night especially after fireworks...(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠) And very cold,,,,

かと言って、諦めるわけにはいかないので、とりあえず未開拓の東(山の上)の方へ
But, now I'm not allowed by me to give up with such tiny reasons, I started to walk east and higher to where I had never been...

ちなみに最終目的地(ご案内できる徒歩限界予定)は⇩こちらです⇩(⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)
Anyway then, the last spot I tried to visit this day was ⇩ this place ⇩. (Google maps). (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)
いつも撮影している(この日花火を撮影した)場所からだと登り約20分(⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)

It should be around 20 minutes' walk from the point where I usually take photos (=the point I took the fireworks at this night) . (⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)

が(⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)
But(⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)

↑: なぜがパトカーがいる(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)
I did not know why,, but a police car could be seen.. (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

 悪いことしてないはずだけど、突撃するか迷い!数分その場でウロウロ(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
I believe I did not do such things as police officers catch me, but I stood there for a moment. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

とりあえず勇気を出して特攻みることに~(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)
After a moment, I tried to generate as much courage as possible and attacked. ~(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

↑: パトカーは展望台に駐車する車を監視?していたみたいで、自分みたいな深夜の山中徘徊者(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)?は捕獲対象外で、後にいなくなりました(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)ホッ
↑: I got released to know they came there not to catch such midnight mountain wandering person as me (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)? but to monitor the parked car, they left later. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

↑: ちなみに、霧?曇?も発生、また、深夜につき、街の光自体もないので、あまりきれいな画像(各場所でのベストな写真)は撮れず(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)比較できない
Anyway, due to the fog? clouds?, and that there were not enough lights on city, I couldn't take the photos well. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠) can't compare.

曇も出てきて街が見えなくなりだしたので、とりあえず、調査は完了とし、下山へ
Finally, the clouds started to hide the city badly, I decided to end the investigation and go back to the city. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
やっぱり深夜0時を回ったような時間帯に夜景撮影しても、ビルやマンションの明かり少なすぎですね(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
The light conditions were worse than I had expected, there were not enough lights on the buildings and apartments to take good shots on that tine zone, after AM0:00. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

ベストな写真で比較すべきだと思うので、次は普通の時間に再調査ですね(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
I should compare the points with their best photos, I need to visit again at normal night time. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

↑: 帰り道にこんな場所を発見(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)30分くらい撮影(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)
I found this place on the way back,(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
I stayed photographing in around 30 minutes. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

↑: 下山しました(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)
↑: I've arrived at the cityside. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠`⁠*⁠)

↑: バスをアプリで探したら、なんと、数分後に空港行きの深夜バスが出る模様w⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w
↑: I tried to find the midnight buses to go back to the airport and found one of them would depart at near bus terminal in a few minutes. w⁠(⁠°⁠o⁠°⁠)⁠w

逃したら1時間待つので、バス停まで猛ダッシュ(⁠(((´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)!
If I couldn't catch it, I needed to wait additional one hour, I badly ran to the bus terminal. ((((⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠!

↑: 無事乗れて、空港までは寝ながら帰れました(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
I managed to arrive in time and could go back to the airport with sleeping. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

↑: 腹ペコだったので空港では、爆喰い(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)
↑: I was really hungry and ate quite much at the airport. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

↑: 始発くらいのS1でホテルまで帰りました(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
↑: I went back to the hotel by almost the first S1. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

■2024年元旦:
The new year day 2024
軽い仮眠のあと、ターゲットさんがいたので、新年最初の飛行機の撮影でこちらへ(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)
Finding one of my targets coming to Hong Kong, after a short snap, I went to this point for new year first spotting. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

飛行機のブログでは既に投稿済ですが、いろいろ変化がありましたので、調査も(・ω・)!!
As I reported on airliner blog, I found some changes there, I saw around to know more. (・ω・)!!⁠

撮影の後は、ホテルに戻り仮眠のあと、、、
After spotting, I went back to hotel and took second short snap, and,,

↑: 前回も行ったこの山にリベンジに行きました(⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠
↑これが間違いだった、、、、と後で気づきました
↑: I tried again this mountain. (⁠´⁠⊙⁠ω⁠⊙⁠`⁠)⁠
↑This was wrong choice...I found later,,,

前回と違い、晴れていたので、いい絵を期待したのですが…
Not sane as the last time, it was fine, I expected better shots but,,,

このガースー(⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)
。。。これがほんとのガースー祭り(⇐分かる人いないと思う⇐テレビの見過ぎ⇐いや、Youtubeです。。。)
There were this so much ga-ses...(⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠)
,,,,This should be the real Ga-su- festival...(⇐Nobody can understand.⇐Having wacthed TV so much?⇐No, Youtube...)

香港の主要部見えない
(前回は見えた)
I could not see the main areas of Hong Kong
(Last time could)

しかも、汗だくだから、風で寒い寒い(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
And I felt quit cold due to the strong winds and sweat l.. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

一応寒さ対策はしましたが、また、この山が原因で風邪ひきました(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
Fortunately I could do something against them but,,, I got cold badly on this mountain, again. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

、、、寒さ対策しなかったらで即死でした
(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
,,, I must have got instant death if I couldn't do anything...(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

早々に下山したので、時間が余ったので
Going down the mountain earlier, I had enough time so,,,

↑: 青衣(Tsing Yi)で新しい構図を試したあと
↑: Tried new angles at 青衣(Tsing Yi) and

↑: 空港で夜撮影(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
↑: Took night airline photos at the airport. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

↑: 当日の晩御飯,,, 新年最初の晩御飯(⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)
↑: This is my dinner this day, the first dinner this year,,,(⁠´⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠.̫⁠ ⁠.⁠ ⁠`⁠)

この頃になると、体調激悪なので、ダイエットとか食事制限とか贅沢?言っていられないので、新年早々から、禁断としていたインスタントラーメンとお米です(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
At this time, my cold got worse, I could not do such things as keeping my food restrictions, I ate rice and instant foods which I had kept away. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

というか、繰り返しですが、同じ山で2回連続風邪を引くとは(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)この山に嫌われてる(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)!?
悪化し始めた時間帯もあり、薬を買えなかったので、初日に模型屋さんに全部上げたことを少し後悔しました。。。(苦笑)
Anyway, it must be a repeat, I had never imagined getting cold at the same mountain twice. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠) Does that mountain hate me. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)!?
Due to the time when I found my cold getting worse, I could not buy medicines, I regretted a little to have gave all medicines to my friend on the first day....(・∀・;)

■帰り(1月2日)
: Return to Japan (2nd Jan)
↑: 最終日は特にやることもないし、天気も体調も悪いので、チェックアウトギリギリまでホテルでまったり
↑: On the last day, the weather was not good, and I also felt bad, I stayed roughly at the hotel until the very time for checking out

↑: ホテルから空港までシャトルバスあるから助かりました(⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
↑: Thanks to the free shuttle buses, I could move to the airport easier. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

とにかく、体調不良で、フラフラなので、空港に着いて最初に買ったものは、風邪薬(⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)
Anyway, I felt quite bad, the thing I bought the first was the medicines for cold. (⁠ ⁠≧⁠Д⁠≦⁠)

かなり早くチェクインして、(香港エクスプレスなので)早めに、ミッドフィールド・コンコースへ(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
I checked in quite earlier and, not knowing the gate but, directly went to the midfield concourse (expecting my gate one of there) for spotting. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

飛行機を撮りながらまったり待っていましたが、
I was waiting for my flight with taking photos but,,,

↑: ちなみに、こんな雑誌買いました(´∀`)☆
↑: Anyway, I bought this magazine. (´∀`)☆

↑: Twitter(X)やLINEのニュースで、例の羽田の事故を知る(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: I found the news of that Haneda accident on Twitter(X) and the news from LINE,,,,(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

まず起きたのが、自分の便のゲートが消えました(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
The thing occurred the first was that my gate suddenly disappeared from the board...(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

↑: ゲートが消えた我が便UO。直前まで208 が出てました
↑: This was taken after the gate of my flight, UO disappeared, I could see No. 208 there

↑: できることは、ひたすらボードの近くのベンチでボードを待つのみ(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: The only thing I could do then was waiting on the bench from which I could see the board...(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

↑: 先に出た便(キャセイとJAL)が、引き換えしてきたり、いろんな便がリスケされているのを見ながら待機(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
↑: I kept waiting for long time seeing some departed flights (CX and JL) returning and some other flights got re-scheduled, and so on..(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

↑: 空港のHPでもアナウンスが出ていました
↑:I found an announcement at airport HP.

時間は正確には覚えていませんが、ようやくバス移動のゲート番号228が出たので、ゲートへ(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)
I do not remember the exact time but finally the gate No., 228 showed and moved there. (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

とにかく最悪の『取消』の文字が出なくて、一安心(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)
Anyway, I got really released that no such worst words as 『Canceled 』were not showed. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

駄菓子菓子(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
However but

↑: (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)(確か20時前くらいに)いったん23時に情報をアップデートするから待ての案内が、一部の乗客は外へ出ていきましたが、自分は待ちました(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)そんな力もうないっす。。
↑: (I remember it was around 20PM), An announcement which was saying next update would be 23PM, some passengers moved out but I decided to keep staying there. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)I did not have such power....

風邪気味の自分には大変辛かったですが、結局、23時頃に搭乗開始できました(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)
It was quite hard time for me but finally we could start to board from around 23PM. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)

ちなみに、香港エクスプレス限定ですが、他の羽田便は
Mentioned about only UO flights, other flights to Haneda were・ひとつ前のUO622が翌日のへ変更(1/2 17:55⇒1/3 17:55)
The UO622, one flight before my flight, delayed to next day. (1/2 17:55⇒1/3 17:55)
・我々の便が約3時間ディレイ(19:50⇒23:00)
Our flights, UO628, delayed around 3 hours. (19:50⇒23:00)
・次の便が約1時間ディレイ(23:55⇒0:55)
The next flight, UO624, delayed one hour. (23:55⇒0:55)

↑: フライトは席が真ん中なのもありましたが、体調不良マックスだったので、過去最悪の苦痛でした(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
なお、クルーは過去一番でした(*≧≦*)
↑: Even the crews were the best but my health conditions were the worst and the seat was the middle of 3, I spent quite hard time during the flight....(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
Anyway, the crews were the best in my HK express life. (*≧≦*)

↑: 羽田に着いたのは4時過ぎ、立つことすら辛いので、一旦羽田の床で寝転がるm(⁠@□@⁠)mハァハァ
↑: The time we arrived at Haneda was around 4AM, I was also hard for me even standing, i tried to lay down on the floor...m(⁠@□@)m

☆事故で遅延した便もあったのか(ダイバートもたくさんありましたね、、)毛布と水を配っていたみたいです(⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)
☆Maybe due to many diverted or delayed flights due to that accident, Haneda airport distributed some blankets and waters to the passengers. (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)

↑: 早く帰りたいのですが、いつものように、乗換+定期券のある品川と船橋経由の鎌ケ谷は乗換中に意識飛ぶと予想されたので、5時過ぎの始発の印旛日本医大行きの乗換なしの新鎌ヶ谷で降りて家までタクシーを選択(⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠) お金より命
↑: I really wanted to arrive home asap, but I must have lost my will when I try my usually way, changing trains twice at Shinagawa and Funabashi, I selected direct way to Shin-Kamagaya + taxi by getting on the first train to Inba Nihon Idai, this way there are no train changes. (⁠。⁠ノ⁠ω⁠\⁠。⁠)Life is more important than money

↑: あと少しで新鎌ヶ谷ですが、電車に座っわていることすら苦痛(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
↑: There were only a few stations before Shin-Kanagawa but even just sitting on the seat was hard work for me. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

↑: 新鎌ヶ谷に到着(⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)
↑: Now I finally have arrived at Shin -Kamagaya. (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

↑: コンビニで、買えるだけの食糧を買いタクシーで帰宅、ご飯を少し食べて朝から就寝(⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)
↑: I bought as much foods as possible at a convenience store and took taxi. After eating meals a little, I went, dived to bed from in the early morning. (⁠。⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠。⁠)

最終日を一日開けておいてよかったですが、これにて、過去一辛かった香港遠征終了ですm(_ _)m
It must have been fortunate for me that I had planned to keep the last day for rest, anyway it was my worst trip to Hong Kong. m(_ _)m

ちなみに、最後にですが、確かに体調不良で過去最悪のフライトでしたが、実は、予定より早く帰っています(^^;)
0時過ぎに羽田に着いて5時間空港で過ごすのが、時に羽田に着いたので、空港内で過ごす時間が短くなっただけです(^^;)
Anyway then, to tell the truth, it did was my worst flight due to my cold but actually I could reach home earlier. (^^;)
On the original plan, arriving at Haneda airport around 0:00AM and after 5 hours stay in the airport, I would return home on the route which I can use commuter pass, it ended to make the time staying at Haneda airport shorter. (^^;)
