Hong Kong


Hong Kong's skyline with the IFC II, the tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong and where the latest Batman movie " The Dark Knight" was filmed.



Bastian and I went to the Peak, a mountain located in the western half of the Hong Kong Island. With an altitude of 552 m, it is the highest mountain on the island. From here, you have a gorgeous view of the city and therefore a "must go" for a HK trip!


It is not the leaning tower of Pisa, but we took some fun pictures :O)
Some weird stuff that you can buy in HK!

I have never seen such a crowd in the city before. Do you see the only caucasian on the picture?

Back in San Francisco!

Bastian and I had to fly back to San Francisco to spent the offsite with our Real Estate colleagues. It was nice, as we also could meet our friends Lynn and Arthur again!

Lateshift in the office with some good American pizza :O)
Part of our offsite was the bowling event...It was so much fun and Bastian's team won the first price !!!

Of course, we also watched the Euorpean Soccer Championship. Here the match Germany against Turkey. Our colleagues were obviously not for the Germans...
And here the finals Germany against Spain.

Our furniture finally arrived!







After two months of waiting, our furniture finally arrived from San Francisco! On the one hand, we were more than happy that we could sleep in our bed again, on the other hand, we were so stressed out as we had to leave for our offsite to San Francisco the next day....
