Lost in airports

On my way to the Philippines, I first went from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong, and then onward to Manila. I already had a return flight Hong Kong-Manila because I had originally planned to go through China to Hong Kong, and I didn't want to waste the ticket. However, I had a 11 h layover in Hong Kong.... If felt pointless to go into Hong Kong for just a few hours, besides I will be in Hong Kong for the last 4 days before going back to London. The hotels close to the airport are really expensive, so I decided to hang out and sleep at the airport instead.

Hong Kong's airport is HUGE. I don't know how many times I got lost just trying to find the airport information, where a lovely lady provided me with a map of the airport. Without it I doubt if I would have been able to find my way back to the right terminal for my flight... After spending a fair few hours eating and drinking coffee, not to mention being fairly lost and confused, it was time to try to get a couple of hours of sleep. There are loads of rows of seats, and you can see people sleeping everywhere. In fact, I think I read somewhere that Hong Kong airport is rated to be one of the best airports to sleep in (there is a website devoted to sleeping in airports actually). Again I was very happy to be short, I don't really understand how tall people handle traveling, as even I find most transportation, especially minivans and buses, to be very cramped. I found three empty seats, unfortunately there was an armrest between seat 2 and 3, but I could still slip my feet under the armrest. It was maybe not the most comfortable night I had, but I still managed to get 3-4 h of sleep. In the morning, after some more coffee and with the map, I managed to find my way to the right gate in time for the flight.
