HK express, Welcome to Nagasaki!! (New route to Nagasaki from 19th January 2019)
Hong Kong Express has announced their new destination, Nagasaki from 19th January 2019. They will fly to Nagasaki (NGS) three flight a week from Hong Kong (HKG). Hong Kong is the third international destination for the Nagasaki Airport.

In the winter season, Nagasaki also cerebrate Luna New Year as the Chinese custom.
As HK express named the city specialite foods on their aircraft, I hope they will name "Champon" on their new aircraft. Champon is one of the iconic food and very popular among citizen of Nagasaki, as every family have some preferences of the Champon restaurants or some specific characters in their family.
Champon, Kairakuen, China town, Nagasaki (会楽園 長崎市), Japan
On 1542 AD, the matchlock gun were brought by Portuguese boat. Francisco Xavier has come to Japan for the missionary on 1549 AD. After Xavier, Spain, Holland and England have followed to visiting Japan with their colonialism. For half century, Catholic church have missionary around Japan. There were also some diplomatic connections to the governors as Nobunaga Oda or Hideyoshi Toyotomi. After twenty six martyrs, Japanese government prohibited the religion of Christian. The hidden Christian was formed the rural area of Nagasaki prefecture area. On 2018, UNESCO assigned the heritage of Christian history in Nagasaki as the World Heritage sites, Hidden Christian Site in Nagasaki lesion. All sites were spread around rural areas of Nagasaki and Kumamoto area.

Nagasaki has a limited internationally opened port in Edo era (1603-1867). The Tokugawa government permitted Holland and China who are able to have trade relations till 1854. Dejima was a fan-shape, small settlement for Hollanders and Kannai area were settlement for Chinese (Shinchi ,where is present Chinatown area, is new reclaimed town after opening the country).
After opening the country, Western modern technologies were come into Japan. Nagasaki was also the front line. The another World Heritage Site was the Sites of Japan’s Meiji Industrial Revolution: Iron and Steel, Shipbuilding and Coal Mining, which including Hashima, known as Gunship island, seen in the James Bond movie "Skyfall".
Through the long history of international connection, there were a lot of international flavoured local food in Nagasaki, Castella from Portugal, Champon from China, or Shippoku course (卓袱料理) from Holland.

The Final Flight of Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-400, First Class service from Tokyo/HND to Hong Kong, on 1st Oct 2016
The Final Flight of Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-400 on 1st Oct
On the 1st October 2016, Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-400 was retired. The final flight was very festive and heartwarming atmosphere, presented by Cathay Pacific skilful cabin crews. I had a very happy travel with Japanese bloggers Tep-san and Ebichang on this final flight.the Queen of Sky, Boeing 747-400, Jumbo jetliner
The beautiful ships of Cathay Pacific have retired form the commercial routes. The Boeing 747-400 was a memorable air craft of the sky. The double decker style of front and smart nose were art of modern industrial design. Four engines gave us the sense of the safety of air travel.
All airplane will be retired with some reasons as age of aircraft, financial factor of operating company or mismatched market. The 747-400, known as the Jumbo jetliner were very famous aircraft in the world. In Japan, we can see them as the airplane belonging to foreign airlines, Thai airways, China airlines and Lufthansa (B747-8i).
Boeing 747-400 and Cathay Pacific
The former flagship of Cathay Pacific, Boeing 747-400, was the last aircraft of Britishness in Hong Kong. The company of Cathay Pacific was developed with series of Boeing 747 known Jumbo jet liner, as -200B and -400. Four Rolls Royce engines sound were passing over the British owned Kowloon side of Hong Kong on approaching to Kaitak airport. The sound was one of the symbols of the old Hong Kong. The high pitch sound and fat shape of Rolls Royce engines reminded us the Cathay Pacific had been a British commercial airline company.

First class cabin of final flight of CX Boeing 747-400
I had a seat 4D of the first class cabin. The ground hostess has assigned us 4D and 4A, one of the best seats of the tow person company. From the seat, I had the lovely view of the nose interior which was special view of double decker of Boeing 747-400. The seat was luxury full-flat seat as the long haul route airliner. Those have also the dinning facility with large table and a pair of seats for comany passengers.

On this final flight, the meal courses were as the normal commercial flight between Tokyo Haneda to Hong Kong. Chinese cuisine, Japanese full course or Western courses were available as usual. We had Chinese courses with the sound of Rolls Royce engines and special atmosphere of the first class cabin.
The tour of crew rest
On this air craft, the cabin crew show us the crew rest, restricted space for cabin crews. Small flat bed were lain above the passenger cabin as the residence of the hospital for medical staff.
The memorable flight of Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-400 final flight
The atmosphere of first class cabin was very relaxed and comfortable to remember and remind our memories on the Boeing 747 aircrafts. The cabin was restricted for the first class passenger and press member. The inflight service manager has controled the first class cabin for the first class passengers.
