Halong Bay

hi there,

here comes another update, finally. Last weekend we were in Halong Bay. (see picture) It is considered one of the most beautiful bays in Asia and possibly in the world. It has about 3000 islands, only 300 of which have a name. Although the site is quite touristy, as soon as you're on one of the boats heading towards the bay, it's just beautiful. Wherever you look, huge rocks with trees and plants on them loom out of the water. Fishers on small boats offer you fresh fruits and seafood as you go. We did Kajaking, swam at one of the islands beaches and went into a cave.

Time is flying so quickly. I can't believe I'm here for 5 weeks now. Anyway, work's still nice and it's great being together with my housemates. We watched Die Hard 4.o and Shooter in the Cinema (around 2 Euro per movie). Both are cool action movies. Today we watched the quaterfinals of the Asian Cup, the equivalent to the European Championships in football. In our game, Australia played against Japan, losing 3:4. Was a lot of fun though.

As requested by Nani, I'm also putting proof that I'm still around cute girls. Comments had been voiced that after an overwhelming start in this respect, beautiful Asian females were increasingly replaced by animal intestins and the like. This is by no means describing my reality here and is rather due to my desire to give you a true diversity of impressions. ;) Have a good time and cu soon. David
