Second time in Hong-Kong and first time in Tokyo ; actually first time in Japan also. Stay for business purpose but still very nice and pleasant, as usually when you travel in Asian countries.

It was quite easy to choose Bulgari London for our first 2013 stay : a new boutique hotel in Knighstbridge with oversized room, the biggest SPA pool in the city and very good first reviews.

Of course, Air France is not a “premium” company like Emirates or Singapor airlines but its first class is not bad and they made…
