Ray came to visit from Dresden, or in fact he came from Thailand where he spend the time in December to get away from the cold in Dresden.Chinese New Year celebrations
The last day of school before the New Years holiday. Everybody was dressed in Chinese costumes.
Julia came to visit from Hanoi and stayed with us over the Chinese New Year holiday. We took her to all the good places we know here in Hong Kong and Macau. In the streets we followed the typical New Years lion dance. Very loud and lively.
First training with the team: "Sai Kung Yacht" after the holiday. To enter the new year in style, it always starts with an offering to the gods; rosted piglet, fruit and some hillerious wine or spirit. After eating the piglet -mmmhhh- fake money are being burned to show that material goods are of no value; yeah right, this is Hong Kong.
And then there is always the days of hiking in our own backyard to the peak of the Ma On Shan mountain and this is also Hong Kong; one day cold and moist, the next clear blue sky and warm, and a perfect day to climb the mountain once again to enjoy the view and fresh air.

People in Hong Kong must burn fake money? That's poor ... In Germany we are rich enough to burn real money. And we have even a specially organisation for this, called "Hypo Real Estate".
