Hong-Kong

Hong-Kong is the next destination and the last one on the ‘around the world trip” list, unfortunately. Today is the last day in this city and I have pretty mixed feelings about going home. Positive because of the new adventures I have ahead and also to meet friends and family I missed so much during these months far, far away from home. On the other hand, I will miss the feeling that you have a new city to discover each week. A different culture to explore, new streets to walk on, new languages to confuse you, new smells to hit you and memories and experiences to add to “the story of my life”.

 

I only have good memories of Hong-Kong: great people, delicious food, long sittings at out-door bars sipping Bellini’s and just talk, laugh, talk…take a shopping break and just have fun, fun, fun…

 

Tokyo Fashion week

Since I work with fashion, Tokyo Fashion week was the highlight of the week. I had so much fun. I managed to arrange both press card and invitations to all the shows for myself and Johan, so after a quick meeting with the pr-manager we were set. The funniest thing was to actually attend the shows and discover japanese fashion on a deeper level. Running around town to different parts of the city to watch the catwalk models show off the latest trends was very inspiring but also stressful. And yes, we did sit front-row at one of the shows and the feeling was oh-so-good. We crashed into bed this day, exhausted and my feet was crying after being squeezed into my platforms a whole day.

A week in Tokyo…

can best be described as a huge culture chock. The first I ever got, to be honest. A city where english is rare, the food strange, snacks are dried fish and bones, the clothes is looking like a runway with all different kind of styles passing by. Pink, pink, pink on every girl and neon lights blinking everywhere. Please, let me know if you ever find a cleaner place, and I promise to do the same. Smoking is forbidden on the streets but you are allowed to quickly finnish your cigarette beside the few ashtrays in the corners. Hmm, did I forget something…Yes, I absolutely love this place. This is without any doubts the greatest city I ever been to and I’m absolutely sure I’ll be back here sometime. Shopping is expensive and you find ridiculous expensive things sometimes, like a melon for 200 Euro, yes 200 EURO. Tokyo is a very strange place, and that’s one of the wonderful things about this city. Pulse, life, colorful…everything is here..

And the new Iman…a geisha…

 

Hanoi, Vietnam

We’re in Hanoi, Vietnam since one week ago and really enjoy our time here. The city center is very bizzy with typical asian pulse and all the sizzling colours. We’re staying in the outskirts of the city (15 min with car) where it is much calmer…We have also went exploring Halong Bay (3 h from Hanoi). The rocks sticking out of the water over there is actually one of the worlds nature wonder so it was nice to see. It almost looked like the sky was falling down on the rocks…

 

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Sorry for the poor update the last days. I have been very busy with my main website http://www.stylebyme.net/ which is my main focus and therefore did not have time for my travel blog which is more of a hobby for me. So a quick update: We spent a few days in Kuala Lampur in Malaysia where we mostly relaxed, was lying by the pool and had a look around town: 

 

Siloso Beach walk

Nice place to stroll around in in the evening…nice view, cool atmosphere…

 

 

Sintosa Island

Sintosa island was very cosy and there was a few activities going on over there. The beach was really beautiful and almost empty : ) We stayed there half the day before we went back home..

On our way to Sintosa:

3D cinema. Let’s just say you got water splashed all over you : )

Dinner

In the evening we we’re just hanging around the hotel and had a short walk in the neighborhood. Had a fantastic dinner at an Italian restaurant : )

Afternoon tea at Raffles hotel

We went to the legendary Raffles hotel to have a look at the hotel and also have some traditional afternoon tea. It was really cosy and the hotel was really unique. It was about a 100 petite japanese girls there dong the same as us. It’s so funny how I feel like a huge amazon woman in this part of the world : ) All the people are so small and even when I’m standing next to a man, I’m looking down at him. After our tea we strolled around the hotel and took pictures. 

A night out with Petter

Our friend Petter from Malta is in Singapore so we met him for dinner and drinks at a stake-house close by. After a few drinks we continued to a very cosy place where you sat on floor-sofas and sipped drink and just relax. Last stop was a club at level 72 where we had a cool view over Singapore. A really fun evening : )

Supper club:

It took about 4 seconds to get up 72 floors in this elevator, you could feel it in your ears:

Awesome view:
