Travel

I'm currently waiting for my cab to take me to the airport.
I had some nice days in Madrid. This time even working was fun :).

I just enjoyed my last cafe con leche in a coffee bar, which are very common around here. The coffee is cheap and really good in them. By visiting them frequently, I was even able to refresh some of my broken Spanish. Well, at least I can order a coffee with a glass of water now ;)
Later on, I will write an article about the hiking tour, I did yesterday. I managed to find nearly all the places, I knew from five years a go, when I was here for the first time.

Most of them (except the butcher shot) are from the Shing Mun Reservoir. This reservoir has one of the most beautiful landscapes I have seen so far in HK.

Having survived business in HK, which didn't go well right from the start and having passed nearly half of the 2 weeks on Lamma, I would say, my feelings are kind of neutral now. Everything good I experience now, will benefit the positiv side :) .

Alina and me went to some great places, especially Shing Mun Reservoir in the north (pictures and videos to come). I am looking forward to the junk boat trip on sunday. It is said to be a sunny day so the trip will be a great experience for all of us. If weather is really ok, we will probably head for one of the fantasic beaches in the North of Hong Kong.

After I got upgraded from business class (company policy for long flights) to First, I was really curious about the BA lounge. Business was already quite nice, but First beats everything. Free internet, which is why I can blog now, free drinks, food and everything :)

I will add some pictures later on to show, how relaxed Dennis and me enjoyed the lounge. I eventuall got my wireless card working on my openbsd laptop, so there was even some success factor with it. I think, I am ready now to check out the 1st class cabin ;)

The best of all is, that there will be a weekend before I will start working in Hong Kong, so relaxing even continous after the flight.

On 10th of November I will be flying to Hong Kong, yeah. Orders for electronic gadgets can be placed via email ;)

Although I will only work there for a week, I will spent two more weeks on vacation. This topps everything. Finally I will have time to fully test my new SLR lenses.

Only thing I need now, is accomodation. Ideally close to an internet cafe, so I can blog a litte ...

The chances are getting better, that I can visit Hong Kong once more for business. Since I was there already for a long time, I really miss it already. I have met a couple of nice colleagues there, which I would like to see again.

But I won't be too happy before everything is organized, so I prevent unneccessary disappointment.
