If there is a hell on earth, it must be Indira Gandhi International! I check in at the business class desk, although I fly economy.  Thank you fair skin and blue eyes. We locate the Lufthansa desk which is not open yet. Monika parks herself after a tearful good-bye. Immigration takes 45 min. but security way longer! It is a total joke. The ...

WOW, what an adventure this has been! We have seen, heard, smelt, tasted and been part of the most amazing things throughout this journey. The beauty of the nature, the freshness of the food (in most cases), the friendliness of so many of the people, the size of the population and the magnitude of the country have been surprising, interesting, e...

Na wederom een lange treinrit (ongeveer 14 uur) kwamen we aan in Shenzhen. Hier moesten we de grens over naar Hong Kong. Ook al is Hong Kong sinds 1997 weer onderdeel van China, toch moet je je paspoort laten afstempelen bij de douane, want Hong Kong heeft wel nog heel veel eigen rechten. Dit betekende voor ons ook dat we een nieuw visum moesten...

I should say that I am quite proud of us. It took us 3 full weeks of travelling in Asia before we got sick. Pretty good in my book. We knew it was coming soon enough, and it hit us our few last days of Beijing. It looks as if we came down with some kind of stomach flu. Luckily we are in Hong Kong for about 36 hours right now - and we have planne...

We were booked on the "City Highlights" tour, (operated by the same tour company who forgot us at the airport) with commentary by Billy the Kid. We got off to a late start and an overcast morning meant the tour had to be reversed, allowing time for the fog to clear off Victoria Peak. After passing through the unbelievable opulence of post Britis...

so we've done Hong Kong and are now in Bangkok.Crazy! Hong Kong was fun, but pretty strange.A big culture shock! Didnt think too much of the food! Maybe we were unlucky, but we've never been so happy to see a Big Mac!

3 Day stop over in Hong Kong: My first steps out of Europe....... We arrive in the center of one of the most busiest citys, I have still to this day experienced.  Our accomodation has everything we need and once we have unloaded all our stuff we go for a walk around.  Hong Kong has so many lights (I wonder how they would manage with a ...

The big Buddha Today, we were gonna make our pilgrimage to visit the big Bronze Buddha of Lantau Island. We properly refuelled ourselves before the trek, at Pacific Coffee house, the only place in Hong Kong that seems to know how to brew a cup of joe. There was a little Chinese man who was totally freaky about using the cafe's free internet. May...
