Hagupit

Who names the typhoons?
However... a typhoon named HAGUPIT with a very bad timing came yesterday evening close to HK.
The signal 8 was hosted at 6 pm.

Somehow I liked the idea to sit in a restaurant in the 62. floor at the window wile outside is typhoon 8.... but I was the only one who liked it.

So we decided to have dinner in the Australien "Kangoroo Pub"; based in a cellar.

Later I wanted to walk home, but as an lonely umbrella passed by - at eye level -; I decided to take a taxi which cost me 4 time more than on normal days.

Unfortunatly the signal changed at 7 am. to number 3; that means everybody had to go to work.

Like I said: BAD TIMING

R66 in Wan Chai

Sunday/ yesterday I wanted to go to an exhibition in Wan Chai. Accidentally I found this restaurant in Wan Chai.

The name is R66 and its located in the 62. floor of Hopewell Center in Wan Chai and its the only revolving restaurant in HK.

One turn takes 66 minutes.

Yesterday I only had a coffee there but tomorrow evening I will have dinner there with some Ex colleagues from Stoll... so just wait for the night pics :)

Btw.: the exhibition was already closed when I finally arrived

At the beach in Shek O

As I heart the summer in germany is already over; I want to make you somewhat jealous. We have still around 35 degrees outside and 26 degrees water temperature.
So... whats better than go to the beach on sunday?

There many beaches in HK; in Shek O one can rent sunshades and the water is not so dirthy like in other places.

In the evening the peolple make BBQ; the things they need they can by at the nearby supermarket :)

Its also a nice place for hiking

And here is a air foto from Shek O (thanks to google maps)
