Can U Eat The Skin Of A Beet

Trekking im Langtang

Done! Both the tour as we ... Have just returned from 9 day trekking in the Langtang National Park back - it was truly a grand finale! The walk through the secluded valleys with mountain streams and wild
7000m high mountains was unforgettable! We do not bore you with details, a brief but must be for us too ;-)

first 4 days
clock in the morning after we climbed with the guide and a support in Kathmandu bus Dhunche. The drive took about 8 hours and was quite a thrill. The second half saw declines on incredibly bad roads along steep slopes. The crossing of the vehicles was almost impossible. Just before the finish an overturned truck blocked the road, so we had to be patient until it went ...
waited Upon arrival still a 2.5 hour hike to the first stage stop us until we "Syaphru Besi" reached at 1400m.


second At 7 days
los clock went. was good 7 hours it up through a wonderful valley and 1,500 meters. We regularly passed basic cabins each food offered. Wonderful was the crossing of wild forests with lianas and moss-grown trees. At the end of the valley loomed already the 7200m high mountain Langtang Lirung out.
highlight though was the encounter with a pack Langur monkeys are wild dangled from the trees! But they were not photogenic ;-)
was unfortunately stay overnight at 3000m in a very nice cabin in Ghoratabela.


third Days
Again, went off at seven. After four hours' walk through the valley, we met up at the overnight Kyanjing one that was liegt.Damit to nearly 3800m reached the daily target as yet. After extensive
lunch we climbed the 4700m high mountain Kyanjing Ri first time it was really tough ... the amount was reflected in the steep slope and we were slow. Fortunately we were able to transfer the luggage
of the accommodation and carried only a little food with us. These efforts were finally rewarded more than! The view from the ridge and then was breathtaking at the summit. We were surrounded by a mountain range with several 6000ern, covered with glaciers and impressive to us drew an eagle circles!


4th get up early days
was announced! But this was not particularly difficult, since one night usually emerges at 9 in the sleeping bag ... a lack of alternatives and to fill up a little heat. DemTagesprogramm stood on the 4984m (that is almost a 5000 - but it still sounds a lot better ;-) high Chauri Kharka. Good claimed six hours of ascent and descent. The road was down to the gravel circuit piece quite simple, but still a Riesenchrampf! Especially Oli has felt the height and did not come from the spot at times ... But this time we were rewarded with a fantastic mountain panorama.
was after a long lunch break then almost on the expiry of. We had already completed that is part of the way back. The 2.5-hour slightly descending path, however, was a walk compared to this morning!


5th Today
days was the morning of the second part of the "compulsory exercise" an.Während four hours we went the same route back down to the valley at 1680m. In the afternoon we turned off into a side valley and then struggled in the sweltering heat of terraced fields high up into the idyllic mountain village we Thulo Syaphru (2210) arrived. On that day we had the first time mobile phone reception and were told and in the last cracker nor the title of the SCB - juhuuuu!


6. Tag
Zwar stand nur eine kurze Wanderung an, dafür eine unglaublich happige. Es galt in nur vier Stunden 1700 Höhenmeter zurück zu legen bis wir auf 3900m in Laurebina auf einem Grat unsere Unterkunft
bezogen. Gerade rechtzeitig, das Wetter verschlechterte sich nämlich zusehends. Der starke Wind und die niederen Temperaturen waren nicht wirklich angenehm... Aber ueber das Wetter koennen wir uns ansonsten wahrlich nicht beklagen - besseres Wanderwetter kann man sich nicht wuenschen!


7. Tag
Nach etwa 2.5 stetigem Aufstieg erreichten wir auf 4600m Gosainkund. Die Bergregion ist berühmt für seine holy mountain lakes. What looked to us for nice mountain lakes, is more transparent pilgrimage for the Hindus. Each full moon, they take the long and arduous path to be to redeem himself in the icy seas of sins. On a bathroom we did not, however, thanks, have indeed no reason to do ;-)

We took the first part of the long descent into attack. At 3584m we reached in Cholangpaty our next hut and still had enough time to slowly but surely, our tired legs hochzulagern and prepare for the final descent.

8th Days
The descent back to the starting Dhunche was completed fairly quickly. After 3.5 hours we had the 1500 meters mastered. Worth mentioning is really just the cheese factory, where we obtained supplies us with a fine, very mild yak cheese.
In unexciting backwater Dhunche it was called then just wait. The transport back to Kathmandu was fixed although it took until the following day.

Namaste Kathmandu!

If Sunday night arrived safely in Kathmandu. The contrast with Hong Kong could not be starker! We have heard a lot in advance about the capital of Nepal and yet, in such a city you can not prepare well ... Despite ubiquitous poverty, despite the unprecedented traffic chaos and filth, Kathmandu has done to us with his vitality.

It is fantastic to see contest with what joy the people here everyday, especially when you consider what recent history has the country behind him. Two years ago the king, after years of mismanagement and violent riots was overthrown. Democracy is now the motto, the initial effort to make very difficult and first results remain pending. On the Constitution worked for two years. The composition of the people with different ethnic groups and castes make the job easier ... not sure is still evident in the people of the optimism. After all, the country has regained stability and is recovering so well over the vital tourism slowly.


After two days we have won a first survey in Kathmandu, however, no orientation! The road network is created incredibly chaotic. In the narrow streets there is diligent drive everywhere, the city seems to be a huge bazaar ... Hoehpunkt the city itself is the small but beautiful old town. The temples and Padogen impress with beautiful embellishments to an unbelievable level of detail.


Outside the center, we have the three great religious centers of the Buddhists, Hindus and Tibetans visited. The stupa with colorful prayer flags are simply gorgeous. It is hardly out of the wonder ...


same time, we have prepared us for the 9-day trek. Starting tomorrow morning at 4 clock ... Target is located the north of Kathmandu Langtang National Park. We are very happy! Is almost the end of our journey ... In the next post you are asked to wait a bit so, -}

Macau: Las Vegas Asiens!

Today it went by speedboat to the island of Macau. As Hong Kong and Macau has a rich history. The small island was from 16 Century, with the consent of China by Portugal managed and used as commercial space. As to mid 18th Century, Macau is the only place for the import and export of goods to and from China remained the port city experienced a rapid recovery. Then, when the British Hong Kong built up a second port, Macau, however, soon lost importance.


Economically, the island went from there to Portugal rather lackluster and increasingly lost interest in the colony. Added to this was that the revolution in Portugal in the 70's got himself in big trouble. But as long as China was not interested in a takeover, to the UK was willing to negotiate also on the future of Hong Kong.

enjoys Macau, like Hong Kong today for 50 years since the adoption in 1999 Special administrative status. That is, its own border, its own currency, in principle, its own government (but strongly controlled by Beijing), etc.

Macao to 500,000 residents and has still a lot of Mediterranean charm. For once, the city center with numerous colonial buildings maintained in good condition.


Especially in Macau is also that of Portugal in the 60 years to generate additional income for a very liberal gambling laws introduced. This will probably keep China in the future, so lucrative is the business! For the meantime has on the island a little Las Vegas developed. Several large investors have had to build huge complexes - the possibilities seem no limits ... that is one of the casino hotels, for example, modeled after Venice, with gondolas, Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square and all the trimmings!


Nevertheless, since most of the inhabitants of the wealth only marginal benefits, the fishing continues to be an important purchase.

How To Get Lightheaded From A Cigarette

In der Sonderwirtschaftszone Hong Kong angekommen

Travel to Hong Kong was special. Although the former colony of Great Britain since 1997 is part of China, the city will remain a special status. The Entering the country at least will have the passport control as with a normal border crossing to go through.


Even otherwise quite different in Hong Kong ...
... here, for example, many foreigners allowed to settle. Such international community, we have never encountered any case in China. Wiren we have to get used to, not constantly patterned from the bottom up would be ;-)
... finally we can restore zugreiffen on any website! For example on our blog page. Means that the sensors of the censors in Beijing but not extend into the last corner of China!
... the city image is close such as that of a Western metropolis. Konsuntempel follows another temple of consumption and the cuisine, including bars and pubs is remarkable.
... the big city, in spite of 7 million inhabitants, is very compact and manageable and equipped with a transparent and functioning public transport system.
... to "decent" behavior in our sense is very down value. To ban signs are lacking and are truly not at fault, you must expect draconian penalties.
... such a density of skyscrapers experience unlike his peers. However, the landmarks are then sown but rather thin. Specifically, it is the very short time can get into the green.

Per Bus we visited, for example, after a short ride two nice bays on the other side of the island. Only there the weather was not very kind to us - it rains almost constantly.



When the bad weather bruhigte and the view a little better we could dare the trip to the Victoria Peak, at its base, the center of Hong Kong's hugs. The view was very impressive!



equal then it went to the nearby island of Lantau, one of Hong Kong's recreational areas. Almost the entire hilly island is covered by forest and beaches and Buchten umgeben. Hauptattraktin ist ein auf einer Erhöhung trohnender, riesiger Buddha.

Die zwei weiteren Tagesausflüge von Guilin aus gingen per Bus an die
im Süden gelegenen Flüsse Li und Yulong.

Dort erwarteten uns Landschaften wie a picture book. Slick,
almost stagnant rivers, surrounded by rice fields, farm villages
and pointed mountains.

The Li River is clearly a tourist. We first explored it to
foot and then increased for the second part on one of the many
Bambusflösser.

aufgefunden der sich mit unkonventionellen Methoden dem Pneu annahm.
Die Reperatur hielt genau bis zur Rückkehr zum Fahrradverleih an, bis

Heute Abend geht es bereits wieder weiter. Mit dem Nachtzug steuern
wir die letzte Station in China an: Hong Kong.

Unterwegs in den Reisfeldern

The train ride from Guilin to Wuyi Shan drew quite a lengthy process.
Instead of the planned 18-hour drive, we need smooth
29 hours ... The main reason was that our connecting train was sold out and
we had to wait several hours for another train. The demand for train tickets
unfortunately far exceeds supply. At
spontaneous purchasing tickets is to not think that has to happen each
several days in advance! Added to this was that our train of
entitled "stroller" yet would have been a compliment ...

Despite everything, the Unnanehmlichkeiten have paid off by far.
Guilin is in fact the ideal starting point for extensive
day trips into nature.

The first took us to a three-hour bus ride to the
rice fields. That in itself would be nothing extraordinary. But as the
terraces in an incredibly hilly landscape are laid, which was
visit simply phenomenal. In addition, the area and the small farming villages
just walking in a four-hour,
allerdings schweisstreibenden Wanderung erkundet werden konnten.

Genug geschwafelt, lassen wir die Bilder sprechen!

Auf und ab durch Teeplantagen und Bambuswälder

Nach einem kurzen Inlandflug sind wir in Wuyishan angelangt, einem
grösseren Dorf umgeben von Bergen und Flüssen. Mit dieser Reise ist
uns das beinahe unvorstellbare gelungen, wir sind im unglaublich dicht
besiedelten China so richtig in die Natur gelangt, weit weg von der
grossstädtischen Hektik.

Während dem dreitägigen Stay we made several
hikes. The landscape here is unique edged mountains, meandering rivers
, bamboo forests and tea plantations where you look.
We also were on the trails again for traveling alone -
simply great. So really everything was perfect ... except unfortunately
pretty nasty weather ...

the end is tomorrow, a boat trip on a raft before
there by train on the next go hiking Mecca: Guilin.
