HK 2007 - Grand Hyatt

I can barely walk.

Maybe it's the sudden onset of age, but this "holiday" is made up of hurting legs much more than any previous one, including the last in Italy, which was filled with much more walking even. But maybe it's the jetlag, extreme heat/humidity, and strange food altogether.

However, there's nothing to complain about the trip itself.
Today, Hi-Khan and me finally made true the promise we agreed on ten years ago. We had our tea/coffee in the Grand Hyatt lobby, with live music and a grand view on the harbour and Central lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. In a flash of introspection, we both found we mostly finished all steps in the last decade successfully. It was probably the most interesting one in our lives, although the consensus is that the next one will be the most decisive. And we tried to settle on a destination to meet in after the next decade, in 2017. (One idea so far is Buenos Aires, on account of neither of us ever having been there, and improbable to go there otherwise.)



I tried to soothe myself by buying a huge stack of cheap VCDs and DVDs. We went to Chungking Mansion, shoe stores ("Sneakers. Wenn's mal wieder länger dauert.") for Hi-Khan, electronics stores for both of us, took millions of pictures, and walked and walked, with AC being our tour guide, dubbed "TomTom" by Hi-Khan.
