After years of muffled information in Cantonese, Mandarin and a strange version of English droning out of the equally muffled sound system at Hong Kong Airport, it’s decided to hire actor Morgan Freeman to make all announcements in English.
In some forward thinking, Mr Freeman also narrates some of his favourite stories to ease the pain of tourists walking aimlessly through the airport for hours on end to various testing and holding centres before being herded into a shuttle bus and finally shackled inside a quarantine hotel for a week.
Hey, WORLD! Welcome to the buzz and good vibes of Hong Kong!
