Import Mp3 To Reason Record

7-Eleven

landed at the airport in Bangkok against 11:30 clock in the evening, with the knowledge that the last airport bus to city gene midnight drives. So waste no time, which could be just flip Sun 11:55 on the departure terminal, and? All quiet all ... Feierabend was fantastic made? And with demand: na klar ... why take ye not just a taxi for the 30 km to downtown slippers? Here goes my mate one, the you make a guuten Prreis ;-)

About Thailand was certainly written much about different issues and one or the other was viell. it myself here. It is certain that it is usually warmer than in our area.



Other countries, other customs


war How these stupid tourists only in my Store? Clear: fair play!


There is no common ground with China at all costs: Time passes at least as fast. The first days we spent in Bangkok. There are many very friendly and helpful. You can borrow free bicycles and the staff of the info in the chat specifically Station to foreigners and accompany them with the ticket purchase. Generally, it appears a greater proportion of the population to own foreign language skills, so you can come leicher without knowledge of the local language to talk. German is also in tourist areas common than one imagines in his wildest dreams.



So it was that we have evolved into a package can convince, for 3 days to Kanchanaburi and the surrounding area with an overnight stay on a houseboat and a host of activities: Bamboo-raft, Elephant Ride, Waterfall, Cemetery, Hell Fire Pass, long-tail boat ride and of course the famous Bridge over the River Kwai.

We present they have: The real story in the German original text:


Urlaubsreif went is now on the night train to the south. Thai trains are from the bedroom a true luxury.



Nach spontaner Entscheidung beim Fruehstueck, sind wir dann nochmal weiter in einen Bus nach Phuket umgestiegen. Auf diesem Weg haben wir eine Lehrstunde bekommen ueber: "Richtig Blutsaugen, wie mache ich Touris am elegantesten das Portemonnaie leer." Gab es doch einen richtigen Stinker, der es zuerst bei uns versucht hatte, ueber das Gepaeck ein paar mehr Scheine einzustecken. Nach diesem Misserfolg wurde er warm. Alle Weiteren, die er unterwegs eingesammelt hat, hat er gleich mal das Doppelte oder Dreifache des normalen Preises abverlangt. Die meisten haben es (wahrscheinlich ohne es ernsthaft zu merken), gerne gegeben. Einer war damit nicht einverstanden und wurde auch laut. Kollege hat ihm dann die Tuer gezeigt und dem Busfahrer (seinem Kumpel) was vorgerufen. Der hat aber nicht gehalten und sie haben sich auf "nur" das Doppelte des normalen Fahrpreises geeinigt. Selbst auf meinen Rat und die Schilderung der Ereignisse hat sich mein engl. Nachbar nicht auf einen Streit einlassen wollen und auch das Doppelte bezahlt. Weitere folgten und obwohl eine gute Kommunikation und Gruppenstaerke unter den Opfern vorlag, haben sie schlussendlich nix dagegen unternommen und auf der naechsten Busfahrt wird es also "Business as usual" bleiben.

Phuket- Patong Beach


Phuket- anderer Beach


In keinem anderen Land war das Ausleihen von Motorraedern oder Mopeds bis jetzt so guenstig wie hier. Zwischen 4-5 Euro muss man bezahlen, um damit einen Tag zu verbringen. Das letzte hier in Krabi hatte knapp ueber 200 km auf der Uhr und ich konnte es sogar noch mit einfahren. Das erste Mal schalten ohne eine Kupplung ziehen zu muessen, auch fuer mich Neuland. Auf 100 km verbraucht die 110er oder 125er so um die 1,5 Liter Normalbenzin, bei forscher Handhabung viell. auch mal 2 L. Ich bin sehr beeindruckt.
Also haben wir es uns nicht nehmen lassen, einige Tage so die Gegend rund um Phuket und Krabi zu erkunden. Vorsicht ist nur geboten bei einer Pinkelpause am falschen Ort. Kaum hat man gehalten, ist man von Blutsaugern der kleineren Kategorie surrounded and has a considerable collection quickly itchy papulae.

Mmm, tastes best `s always fresh


She is growing so


Everywhere you see them, entire plantations


Yesterday when we went through some villages, we came, as so often against another moped riders. Has he not a chicken startled at his side of the road, which has opted for the flight across the way on our side. Unfortunately, directly under my front wheel. It has been decided so quickly for the evening soup that I've barely checked.

Today we have again taken a walk in the woods. Very interesting plants and animals, but especially impressive was the sudden severe tinnitus, which we suffered. Similar to a braking train in the station and in the same volume, just always the way through.

Hong Kong is different from the "Mainland" China. Not only that someone with the stamp in the passport officially left the country, including currency, driving on the left, mentality, multiplied prices, smoking bans, and foreign language skills indicate a change. All that can be used in Russia 22, China has 33 floors, here you also like to double again.





is Everything or rides tight and piled high: houses, buses and trams. In the area of various centers, it is accessible to large crowds every evening and you wonder where all want to go and come. Is leaving But if these areas and barely moves a few meters height up the slopes, it is suddenly quiet and it rises quickly in a fantastic view over the city. In many ways, relatively few people meet, but barely reached the top of a cable car, it is suddenly busy. Hundreds of people cavort in a long queue to save the energy of the descent and the calories for a rainy day.
you kick it in the shopping mall on a hill and noted that the toilets are much better than in their own accommodation, we may overlook some ;-)





Since Hong Kong yes to a majority of islands and nature is, with many walking and hiking trails, which were mostly "good" concrete and provided with many stairs, we did not let us take some This commit. For mountain biking you need here and even a permit, which not everyone will (certainly not Touri) and in some areas we may enter with any bicycle or other vehicle, only taxis and buses.

James, a native we have here kennengernt has taken us a day to a nice tour and showed us some great places. Thanks again.





Schoen was also a reunion with Tommy, a former roommate of mine and the chance to meet his family and a bit of life in a Hong Kong Housing peek.



As the time here again in a flash passed, it was said yesterday further to the south. Since we had only a single entry visa for China and HK would like to see, so it was the most practical and effective solution travel further by air. We had the great Glueck, auch hier mit einem Doppeldecker zu fliegen, der nicht nur von aussen, sondern vorallem auch von innen begeistert.
