I actually saw a special on the craziest airports in the world on Discovery or one of those channels. The Hong Kong one was freaking nuts, especially when they have crosswinds. Luckily a lot of Japs fly in there so they are use to drifting in.

Yeah, the new Hong Kong airport just doesn't have the same character that Kai Tak did. That's probably for the best.
