Came across this. Brought back a few memories.
A bit of nostalgia

I went to Greenwich Emirates simulator in London to land big bird at both Kai Tak and Sydney Airports. That was a good experience you might want to try when we are flying again.
I did Kai Tak because it was tricky.
I did learn I wasn't a brilliant pilot too.

Never forget landing there for the first time in 1990, descending past balconies where the locals were putting out their washing. Quite amazing.

My first and only landing at Kai Tak was also my first O/s flight and my first flight on a B747. The next time I went that direction, the new airport had just opened.
I recall the shiver that went through me on approach to Kei Tak when I thought the pilot was going to take the top off a building on the way in.
