Brother @ Buddha

Saturday, mega train travel day, and bus and later even a ferry. First stop was big Buddha at Ngong Ping. Thought we were gonna ride the cable car as well but we gave up as the line there was about 45 mins of waiting. Instead it became a bus ride over the mountains of Lantau island. Winding roads and an engine on a mission. The bus managed the hills and we managed the 251 steps up to the big Buddha and the fine view from there.

Friday morning in Macau.

First image could be from the series called "Hotel Views".
This from Best Western, Taipa. The hotel is not really anything to write home about, just some kind of box where you put stuff and sleep. Next two pictures could be from the series: "Digital devices killed social interaction, yet connected people". Henrik is still kind of old fashioned and looking through the book shelf's at the wee Cuppa Coffee place in Macau.

To be tourist in Macau.

It has been a long day with a lot of travelling. One minibus, two trains, one ferry, another bus and then the good old tired legs. Anyway. Now it is Macau, and Macau seen through the camera.

Mathildes panorama

 

Mathilde went out for a walk on her own one day. None of us older ones felt like it as it was the day after Henriks birthday, so we were either too tired or we were hung over.

Anyway, Mathilde went for a walk to find some chips, as she said. As I heard about this, I imagined that she just went down the road towards Sai Kung, as it would have been the most sensible thing to do, but no, she went in the opposite direction and got herself all the way to Ma On Shan.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen.

For første gang i Hong Kong, Henrik holder fødselsdag. Idag blev han, forøvrigt lige som de 18 foregående fødselsdage, 37 år. Et stort tillykke herfra, og herfra er " the Smuglers Inn pub" i Stanley på syd siden af HongKong Island.

Så kom maden endelig.

Lone har bare bestilt maden for at kunne tage billeder, og jeg tog bare billedet for at kunne poste det her!

Familien ved Victoria Harbour.

Det er kun den anden dag af the Horsens Mortensens besøg i Hong Kong, alligevel har de set en hel del at begynde med. Her er de ved den berømte skyline.

2000 and something kilometer south west of home...

This place has some similarities with my home town, and again then not. It is an Asian World City, it is safe and diverse, and rich, but is not as tall as Hong Kong. 
Tall in the meaning of the houses and the mountains. Here there is much more space and the city is spreading out horizontal because it can. At home in Hong Kong the city is also expanding, but vertically. Up and up. On this picture below, you can see a crane that has tipped over. It is at one of the many building sites you can see here all the time, and this particularly one happens to be just next to the building where I've been for the last couple of days,. I didn't see it happening though, and in fact I was told that it happened about 3 weeks ago.

I am in Singapore on a 4 day trip and participating at a educational workshop, Learning 2.013.

Have got a lot new stuff to put into my brain and at this moment I am just chilling out in the library waiting for the last session and the final reception and some social networking. After that maybe another we visit to iconic Raffles Hotel and their famous "Singapore Sling".

Today is the first October day and who's birthday will we celebrate today? China's. Yes it is China's birthday and later we will be on a junk on Victoria harbour.

Eagles of Death Metal -" Don't Speak".

Great band, great video, even it is a commercial for Nike sports wear.
The director is Guy Ritchie and the actors is? Well have a look yourself.

 

And live on the streets in New York and by Steve Letterman.

 

Music from the 70ties live in the 90ties.

Can't tell why it is, but lately I have started to rediscover and old love -to a band. Back in the late 70ties and early 80ties I was listening a lot to Hawkwind. Then a long time not at all, and then now again I have rediscovered them.
The last vinyl LP I bought with Hawkwind must have been back sometime in the 80ties. "Levitation" it was. Since then nothing. I guess I got busy and occupied with other stuff and other music.
Then as the young man from Dresden was living with us, he showed me his music collection and what did I find there; Hawkwind.
Since I have been searching and reading and have found out that they (Hawkwind) has produced music all the way up through the 90ties and even all the way up to 2010 and 12.
A little taster from 95 from youtube.

11 kilometer above the ground.

About 4 hours into the journey towards Moscow, and I have seen two films already.

The first one was a kind of low budget film about 3 high school friends who found some spacedout hole in the ground and went down there, and touches some strange blue flouresent rocks. After doing that, they become the force like super powers and could through around things like a certain Mr. Obi Wan Ken Obi. It all starts pretty inocent but soon One of them went to the dark side, possible driven by anger by his less successfully life. Could be a new version of Stephen Kings famous "Carrie" from the 70ties. The director was a guy called Josh Trank.

The film is very recommendable, and is called "Chronicle". Why I chose it was because it played in Seattle and I could recognize the space needle there on the picture.

Second film was Steven Soderbergs  "Contagion" a virus thriller loaded with a fierch virus and numeros big stars. Gwyneth Palthrow is in it, and surprisingly she dies after about 7 minutes. Other big shots is Matt Damon, Jude Law, Lawrence Fishbone, Kate Winslet. Naturally it is a global thriller and Kowloon in Hong Kong players an important role.

4th film I watched was a romantic kind of family comedy feel good kind a film with Matt Damon - again- and Scarlet Johansen. "We bought a zoo" it was called, but now I don't know the director anymore.

And before we reached Moscow, I managed to see nearly all of the famous Peter Jackson Hobbit. 

Next step of the journey from Moscow to Madrid was delayed, nearly 2 hours, so believe me that it was two frenetic tired heads that arrived in Madrid something 5 hours after schedule.
