Music of the day!

The last day of October and we need some music.



At their concert here in Hong Kong in August, Red Hot Chili Peppers didn't disappoint any by playing this old song as one of the extras.

Weird Music clip of the day:



In the late 90ies, Bjørk was one of my absolute favorites, and I remember sitting late at night at a friends house watching MTV and wondering what on earth was going on in this video.
Today I am more experienced, but I still have no clue.
But it look nice.

Far east in -on Okinawa?

Helloooo.
Or should it be aloooo.
Cant really tell but we are somewhere far out in the ocean east of china.
We`re in- or on- Okinawa island.
Since this summer where our holiday trip had to move house,　Okinawa was one of the destinations we wanted to visit, but could`nt coz the time limit of the move and holiday, but who can get everything right?
So now i`ts autumn and we`ve got visitors again, they are always in it for some new experiences, so now it was finally the time for visiting those islands.
Now we are 4 days into the visit, but I cannot show any pictures yet. I only want to tell you that there might be a chance for some photos - and stories- later, when we are back and have some more relaxed time.
I would seriously like to be more relaxed when writing on this blog when travelling, but it always seems to be a hazel to my travel partners, and therefor to my self, coz who wants to be left out being boring, or worse: `no you are not writing this one on the blog`!
If the next post is in Danish or German, you should know why?
By the way: the islands around Okinawa is just stunning.

Happy Birthday China!

Guilin in Guangxi Province.

Today is Chinas Birthday. The first of October 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the Peoples Republic of China.

In Hong Kong this will be celebrated with a big party with a huge fireworks at Victoria Harbour at 8 PM.

I doubt we will be going to see that though. Imagine more than 1 million people trying to get there and get a spot with a good view.

We’ve done this before, once from a restaurant just at the waterfront, and once on a Party Junk direct on the water in that very same Victoria Harbour.

Instead to celebrate this Birthday, I decided to post some pictures from some of our travels to “the mainland”, as it is called here in the “Special Administrable Region” of Hong Kong.

No doubt that there are many issues about China that can be discussed and things that should be improved, but one thing I would like to mention; travelling in and through this huge nation is exciting and there is one thing to mention, one thing where China as a travel destination beats the most of the Western countries; It is still a very safe place to travel.
