Last night I arrived to Hong Kong. For my way into the city I decided to take the bus – a slooow magical carpet ride with lots of bumpy stops on the upper deck of the cheapest option, the local “tower cruiser” line E21. It reminded me of my time in the UK a lot: exact same buses, road signs, round-abouts, people from all over Asia getting on and off all the time. But in a place that has palm trees instead of weeping willows. Bewildering.
To get to Hong Kong I took my first flight on this trip. I would have preferred the ferry to Qingdao again, but because it is no longer possible to get a China visa for tourists in South Korea and I wanted to go to a warmer climate I had not other option. If you look at a map you realise I was stuck, sandwiched by water and countries with difficult-to-get visas.
I am testing the WordPress Android app with this post. Pretty sweet so far. But the image insertion still needs some fine-tuning. Need to fiddle with the settings..
The adventures never end 🙂 A tropical London doesn’t sound bad, I hope you’ll enjoy your stay! Greetings from Berlin!
