Hong kong
The aircraft Finnair A 340 of the new factory, takes us from Helsinki to Hong kong, where Donato was never, I already once, The airport is beautiful, the former was in town and the plane lands a few meters from skyscrapers, even the pilots to land at Kai tak, had to do before a stretch of land. hours quell'aeroporto is closed and have built one from scratch, creating an island, coma have already done the Japanese in Osaka, the Ceck lap kok airport is wonderful.
We opt for the bus rather that the train to the center, so that the driver down there just a few meters from the hotel we have chosen. Scassatissimo hotel in one building, the room is double the 4 floor, but we are three, then choose at random who has to sleep that night on the mattress perterra. But the important thing is that there is a shower and services and that no one makes unnecessary noises during the night, he forgot, there is also the all-important air conditioning, because of the moisture out there.
The day after walking among the thousands of skyscrapers and if I say much, not exaggerating here in Kaoloong, eat in a Chinese restaurant with fast and a few dollars in Hong kong.
There is enough traffic on the streets, but mostly taxis and buses, metros here are very efficient, to take us too, and discover that cell phones also go underground. A cruise ship is departing, the scenario in which the passengers to exit from the bay is spectacular, only in New york you can see something like that. Although skyscrapers here there are at least three times.
Donato and Luca are amazed by how much life cycles, boats planes helicopters in the sky, missing only the submarines, which tell the truth who knows if there really are. Descending from a sclalinata center of a schopping we see that the vertical part in every step has a television, which seen from afar looks like a whole. Another television above a skyscraper continues to advertise, never seen one so large, say twice the screen of a cinema.
From here also the red motor catamarans with a capacity of about 200 passengers to nearby Macau, a former Portuguese colony, now moved to China, just like here in Hong kong. But he retained a special status, many here are rich, are in fact mercedes audi and other luxury cars around.
In the evening we return to the bay, where there's a show, many skyscrapers glowing with multicolored neon in the sky and throw rays of light, which can be seen from the moon, the heat means that we are all with very light clothing. Some boats are the restaurant while passing through the bay, a little more in the great port accepts hundreds of container ships, after that of Singapore, is the largest in the world, followed by Shanghai and Rotterdam.
Donato purchase a pair of watches at a good price, they took advantage, Luca instead takes a modern camera, I just video tapes in stock. I have the camera already. Here are some tour operators, to do, visiting the floating village or watching from the hill from a standing position even of the highest skyscraper highest.
To return to the airport in the evening take the bus again, that being a two-storey type in London, allows us a more beautiful, although beautiful, standing in the middle of the traffic, there is nothing, at least for me as a lover of nature.
The Jetstar flight to Singapore, arriving in darkness,
