Good morning!

After what like felt no more than a couple hours of sleep I got started to enjoy the first day in Hong Kong on my own.

To make it easier to get accustomed to the food habits of my new home country, I chose something traditional for breakfast:


Slowly, I made my way to the river to meet Flora and once again I found myself standing in awe before the spectacular skyline of Hong Kong.


Taking the ferry, I kept asking myself: how it must have been like, if I had crossed the river a hundred years ago?

I was supposed to meet Flora in the lounge of the "Central Plaza", the skyscraper where her law firm had its offices. Well, have a look at the following picture and you can imagine just how incredible that place is.

Woah, I’m flying. The view from the Sky Lounge of the 46^th storey of the “Central Plaza” is nothing else but magnificent. Hey, I’m a bird!

Afterwards, we met Julie, une française, and together we headed for the race track. Although, it took us ages to figure out how to fill in the betting sheet and of course, we didn’t win a penny it was fun (and all of us received gift vouchers from a local hair stylist which is exactly the kind of gift vouchers one expects to receive at the races.)

After a short ride on one of Hong Kong’s cute little trams, we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant where we enjoyed a Japanese barbecue and the luxurious sensation of having our own cook.

Finally, Flora and I couldn’t resist Hong Kong’s night life which was good, as I still suffered from jet lag (I know, it’s only an excuse for partying but it’s a good one.)
