Hong Kong

At Hong Kong, I met Danio and Markus again who arrived there one day earlier. Hong Kong is an amazing city! It is not comparable to any Chinese city and one gets the impression it is still British and not Chinese at all. We did a lot of sight seeing and on the third day I went alone to the Hong Kong Island peak since Danio and Markus have done this on their first day. Up there is one of two Burger Kings of Hong Kong (there is no Burger King in China so far) and in this Burger King I met Chompu and her friend Fon – both form Thailand. While I went to the restroom Chompu wrote a slip of paper and put it on my table! I hang out that evening together with them (Markus also joined us later) and the next morning until they had to leave to the airport to catch their flight. Chompu is such a nice and charming woman and I hope to visit her in Bangkok before returning to Germany. I also had to go back to Beijing that evening – so I took the Jet Boat in order to go to Shenzhen in the afternoon. An amazing travel ended at this night back in Beijing!
