Re <<Pepperoni>> those sticks look good enough to eat.
Now is not the best time for me to view pics of food or of much of anything remotely associated w/ fun
We de-camped Vancouver for no good reason I can think of except our home is supposedly in Hong Kong.
We arrived at 4:00am local time in Hong Kong after a 13-hours flight, comprised of a long slumber and three episodes of Sherlock which I hadn’t known about before.
Vancouver airport was empty, and the brand new plane meant to carry 300+ passengers had all of 56 on board. I do not believe the economics are sustainable, green, or worthwhile to subsidize.
Between landing at 4:00am, downloading contact and tracing app, filling out forms, and crossing immigration, picking up luggage, crossing customs, and getting on the bus to to here at Asia World Expo (a huge exhibition/convention center), 3 hours expended. We go tested at 7:30am, and are now waiting for ~10-12 hours for the results. Should the results be good, we go into home-quarantine, and shall switch on cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth and sync 4 contact / tracing bracelets each of us a sporting, walk around the house slowly, including the rare garden to mark out the perimeter so that we do not get fined ~US$65,000 per bracelet for breaking home-quarantine, and a 6-months jail sentence.
It is now 11:00am, of course I cannot tell except for what the watch says, for there are no windows where I am. With any luck I should be at home by between 7:00-8:00pm. Let’s see.
In comparison the 14-days (no visitors allowed) forced home-stay shall be eeeeeeeeeasy!
Advice, bring a physical book (make sure it is a funny book) together w/ Kindle, do not use 75% alcohol wipe to swipe face.
Great that so far not a bit of complaints out of the kids.

Folks just wait for test result to return, w/o movies, hot food, but WiFi is free, over a period of 10-12 hours, often longer than the flights - takes something away from high-speed rail rides to / fro airports
Bring iPad w/ full charge, and make sure Netflix / Apple+ / Amazon Prime etc apps and subscriptions current.
There ought to be bespoke fancy food delivery service into the waiting hall, but yes, the virus is an issue.
