Home Sweet Home

although I was wondering whether I was really back in HK at first - while starring out of our kitchen window after our return I saw one of the construction workers right next to our building standing on top of the deserted construction platform, throwing his shoes from his feet, carefully emptying his pant pockets, unrolling a small carpet and getting ready for his prayers in the direction of Mecca - never seen this happening in the middle of a construction site before...

...hey there, just checking in - hope everyone had a fantabulous summer and isn't caught up too much in the daily life duties already - our trip to Munich was as turbulent as always, apologies to those I haven't called but I was really busy, more on that in private emails if anybody is curious...after having lived in the States for 8 years and now in Hong Kong since nearly 2 years, Germany seems more and more like "toy land" upon arrival - the ride to my hometown takes me about an hour from the airport and passing through small villages, seeing the countryside and the mountains flying by in the distance, everything seems so peaceful and in order but also rather smallish in comparison to NYC or HK - I wonder whether one day Germany will serve as a gigantic holiday Spa for tourists visiting from overcrowded countries like China and India in search of a little crispy clear air and some peaceful picturesque nature? Anyway, we enjoyed it as much as always and had a good time. In the meantime we also managed to put the jetlag behind us and sleepless nights sitting on the balcony while munching on german gummibaer's are in the past.

Fall seems to become very busy with classes, trips and visitors pouring in but I'll make time to keep on telling you what's going on in HK, promised....ciao for today...
