Off to the Far East

Brussels, Belgium

Well there I go, off to Hong Kong. The first stop would be Helsinki. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures, but let me say the airport has a wooden touch to it like all Northern European airports.

Summer sales

After having no sleep at all I arrived in Hong Kong! I was mainly here to shop around, like all other locals around me. Unfortunately I'm not well versed in the art of bargaining so I mostly paid what the price tags told me to.

Oh, and a nice reminder: if it doesn't have a price tag in Hong Kong, you're bound to pay much more than required even after having a "fabulous" discount of 50%

How do I get around here?

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This is one of the most confusing cities I've ever been in. First off is the public transport. It's being done by 3 different companies who have no ties whatsoever so an "interchange" actually means "the competition's station happens to be within a block's distance".

Next hurdle is finding the sights of the city. There's the civic district, the shopping district and then Chinatown. The country has about 20% Chinese, so they're a significant majority around there.
