No more Hong Kong for me...

As of today I am finished with my project in Hong Kong.









I spent 11 months on that little but oh so crowded island in the Pacific Ocean.
It was great while it lasted, but I am glad to be home again.

My next assignment is some what closer to home. Hannover it is.

But first I want to spend some quality time with my family and friends. I was away far to long and it is time for a catch up.

Oh before I forget: I am looking for a squash partner in Hannover again.
Starting on the 24. of October I want to play a game or 2 while I am there.

Any volunteers?

Back in Hong Kong

Time is flying!

But this time I managed to bring my family here too.

So now we are spending a lot of time together and I have the impression they do like it here.

We have a great apartment in Discovery Bay with view to the ocean and to the Disney World Fire Works each night.

What else can you ask for?

Long Time no Post....

...and yet still no real changes for me.

So here I am, back on my way to Hong Kong. Sitting in the Emirates Lounge in Dubai again.
In 2 hours an Airbus A380 will carry me to Hong Kong, where I will be another 3 weeks.
Home for easter holidays and back again.

My big hope is, that my family will join me in Hong Kong next month!
This reminds me: I need to update that web-page above.... :-)

@Home again

I had a looooooong flight home! 
Flying with Emirates via Dubai took me some 28 hours! 
Due to sandstorms over Dubai all international flights got delayed.

BUT as I could use the Business Class Lounge waiting was kind of bearable...

Now that I am at home at last I love spending quality time with my kids. :-)

Let's see what happens in the next weeks...

On my way home again

It has been 3 weeks Hong Kong now and I am finally sitting at the airport to get home again,

Tomorrow at 6:30pm I will land in Frankfurt.

Can't wait to see my little family again!

This is the part of Hong Kong I was staying. Sheung Wan (I think :-) )

Lan Tau Trail

Yesterday I did my last hike in Hong Kong.

It was Stage 7 and 8 on the Lan Tau Trail that has some beautiful views and goes along beautiful beaches.
there were a couple of these little shrines...

Tide coming in again

'hidden' path ways trough dense sub-tropical jungles...

Beautiful empty beaches. wonder if they are that empty in summer time...

Up up and away we go...

We started at the 'you are here' and went all the way up and then down to the dam.


Thanks to the people that invited me to join I had the opportunity of seeing 'the other side' of Lan Tau.

They did it! They came to Hong Kong!

My little family finally made it to Hong Kong!

It was a 12 hour flight for all of us and after arrival and a little rest we went to a very traditional and old Chinese Restaurant



The obligatory trip to Disney World was done and my kids made friends with Goofy :-)



We were lucky to enjoy an awesome firework ...


and drove back to our hotel tired but happy.


They went back on Sunday again and arrived safe home again.


I will stay until the 28. Jan. and then end my Hong Kong project for now.


Let's see what comes next.


Stay posted
:-)
