			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manch einer hat es eventuell mitbekommen: Zwecks meines (hoffentlich) letzten Praktikums residiere ich derzeit in Hamburg. Wie das mit Büro-Jobs so ist, verbringt man geregelte 8 Stunden am Tag im Büro&#8230;sitzend. Mittags ernährt man sich dann in 80% der Fälle von mehr oder weniger ungesunden Nahrungsmitteln um abends sportlichen Hobbies wie <a href="http://www.airlinesim.aero">Browsergames</a> oder <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net">Webcomics</a> nachzugehen. Alles in allem führt dies zu einer&#8230;nennen wir es mal positiven Energiebilanz mit negativen Auswirkungen auf Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden.</p>
<p>Um dem entgegen zu wirken erkaufe ich mir seit mehr als einem halben Jahr monatlich das vertraglich geregelte Recht, in jedem <strike>FitnessCompany</strike> FitnessFirst Studio weltweit Kalorien zu verbrennen. Von diesem habe ich während der Vorlesungszeit in Oldenburg auch reichlich gebrauch gemacht&#8230;3 mal pro Woche um genau zu sein. Dann war längere Zeit Pause und nun war es dringend an der Zeit, endlich wieder etwas gegen den Energieüberschuss zu unternehmen. Gesagt getan. An meinem neuen Wohnort bin ich von den Studios besagter Kette förmlich umzingelt. Einmal unter dem Steigenberger durch und schon stehe ich vor dem nächsten. </p>
<p>Aber warum erzähle ich das Ganze? In Oldenburg (und Hong Kong) habe ich vermutlich ein falsches Bild von Fitness Studios gewonnen. Es wurde heute ausgetauscht durch das, was ich mir VOR meiner privat-sportlichen Karriere unter dem Begriff vorgestellt habe. In Oldenburg wurde man von angenehm unsportlich wirkendem Personal begrüßt, in HH steht einem ein braungebrannter Sunnyboy mit strahlendem Grinsen bis hinter beide Ohren am Empfang gegenüber. Hatte man in der Provinz grob geschätzte 100 Spinde für sich allein, muss man hier froh sein, wenn man einen Arsch-breiten Platz auf der Umkleidebank ergattern kann. Auf dem Weg aus der Umkleide begegnet man nicht tratschenden Rentnern, sondern einem Rudel Frauen in den frühen dreißigern, die einen mit fiesem Scannerblick und noch fieserem Grinsen wissen lassen, dass die farblich Kombination der Trainingskleidung auf dem nicht vorbildlich geformten Gesäß absolut untragbar ist. Auf dem Weg zu den Tretmühlen kommt man vorbei an einer etwa zu 90% ausgelasteten Kraftabteilung, in der Schwarzenegger-Imitate und Klitschko-Doubles den 08/15-Trainierer wissen lassen, dass er diesen unnatürlich-übertriebenen Muskelaufbau nie erreichen wird&#8230;nur den fiesen Blick haben sie nicht so perfekt drauf wie die Damen vor der Umkleide. Bei den Kalorien-Verbennungs-Maschinen angekommen läuft man gegen eine gefühlte Wand: Die Klimaanlage kommt gegen die Masse an dicht gepackten after-work-Stramplern nicht an. Der Gedanke an Matrix drängt sich auf, Stichwort &quot;Menschliche Batterien&quot;, wird aber sogleich verdrängt vom Bild eines Dschungels: Zu Temperaturen zwischen 30 und 40 Grad sowie einer gefühlten Luftfeuchtigkeit von 99% fällt mir eine Herde Gorillas ein, deren männliche Vertreter zwanghaft versuchen, mit ihren mehr oder minder wohlgeformten Körpern soviel Aufsehen als möglich zu veranstalten, während der Testosteron-Gehalt so hoch getrieben wird wie die Achseln es nur irgendwie hergeben. Dazu gesellen sich die weiblichen Vertreter, die das seltsame Ziel verfolgen, die Männchen einerseits durch ihre Anwesenheit und kritische Blicke zu Höchstleistungen zu animieren, gleichzeitig aber ein Maximalmaß an Desinteresse an selbigen zu zeigen. Alles nur mit weniger Fell.</p>
<p>Der ideale Ort für jemanden wie mich, der gerne mal ein Stündchen Sport treiben will, in einer angenehmen Umgebung, unabhängig von Wetter und Tageszeit. Großstadt vs. Oberzentrum: 0:1</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Die letzten 4 Tage hatte ich das Vergnügen mir mit meiner Freundin Rom anzuschauen. Da ich diese Woche etwas viel um die Ohren habe werde ich es aber bei einem knappen Erfahrungsbericht belassen. Wen vor allem die Bilder der Reise interessieren, kann sich <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/rome/">hier einen Überblick</a> verschaffen. Erwartet auch dort nicht zu viel wir haben uns darauf konzentriert die Stadt anzuschauen, nicht schlechte Touri-Fotos zu machen <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Die Anreise lief glatt ab Bremen über München mit Lufthansa. Mein erstes Mal im CRJ-900, der seinem Ruf als Angströhre alle Ehre macht. Nicht dass ich Flugangst hätte, aber grausam eng ist diese Kiste wirklich. Nunja, erster Eindruck in Rom: Der Flughafen sieht schon etwas angeknabbert aus und könnte mal eine Renovierung vertragen. Dieser Eindruck setze sich allerdings fort&#8230;seien es Züge, Gebäude oder alles andere: Fast alles sieht irgendwie stark baufällig, beschmiert oder anderweitig dreckig aus. Teilweise sahen die Züge aus, als hätten sie die letzten Jahre in der prallen Sonne verwahrlost auf einem Abstellgleis gefristet&#8230;waren aber noch im Einsatz.</p>
<p>Dessen unbeirrt sind wir per teurem Leonardo Expess non-stop im Bummeltempo zum Hauptbahnhof &quot;Termini&quot; gefahren. Unser Hotel, das Hotel Caracciolo, lag direkt neben dem Bahnhof also waren wir innerhalb weniger Minuten an unserem Zielort. Das Haus ist ein gemütlicher Familienbetrieb, das Zimmer war sehr groß und mit auf antik gemachten Möbeln versehen. Sogar eine Couch hatten wir und über dem Bett hing eine große Leonardo-Kopie. Das Bad erfüllte seinen Zweck, war aber nichts Besonderes und stellenweise etwas angegammelt. Das Frühstücksbuffett war &quot;überschaubar&quot;, für meine Ansprüche aber völlig ausreichend. Insgesamt ist das Hotel nicht schlecht, vor allem die Zimmergröße ist ein Plus. Aber für das Gesamtpaket war der Preis doch etwas hoch&#8230;vermutlich der Touri-Metropolen-Aufschlag.</p>
<p>Die Stadt selbst ist super quirlig. Besonders beeindruckend sind sie breiten Hauptstraßen, die trotz ihrer Funktion aus Pflastersteinen bestehen und keine Markierungen tragen! Die meiste Zeit waren wir jedoch zu Fuß unterwegs. Der Stadtkern mit den meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten ist recht kompakt, weshalb dies eigentlich kein Problem ist. Um die Füße doch etwas zu schonen sind wir lediglich hin und wieder mit der U-Bahn gefahren, um morgens in etwas entferntere Ecken zu kommen oder abends von diesen zurück zum Hotel. Hier erwies sich die Lage des Letzteren wieder als sehr praktisch. </p>
<p>Die Menge an Sehenswürdigkeiten ist einfach überwältigend. An jeder Ecke, man muss sich nur umdrehen, steht irgendeine Kirche. Eine größer und schöner als die andere, sei es von innen oder von außen. Genauso beeindruckend sind die Reste der antiken Tempel und Paläste. Die Vorstellung, wie es hier vor 2000 Jahren ausgesehen haben muss ist fantastisch und es ist Schade, dass im Laufe der Zeit doch einiges dieser alten Pracht verloren gegangen ist (es sei denn es wurde eine Kirche daraus gemacht). Ebenfalls bedauerlich ist, dass an den wichtigen Touristenattraktionen inzwischen Sicherheitskontrollen notwendig sind, die vor allem beim im Februar herrschenden kalten Wind etwas unangenehm werden können, je nach Länge der Schlange. Wer mal ein bisschen Entspannung vom harten Touristenprogramm braucht, dem seien die Caracallathermen empfohlen: Sie liegen etwas weiter abseits und werden daher wohl von vielen Touristen übersehen. Sie sind aber nicht nur extrem eindrucksvoll &#8211; die Größe ist der Wahnsinn &#8211; sondern sind auch von großen Rasenflächen umgeben, auf denen man etwas Sonnenbaden kann. Alles in für Rom nicht gerade typischer Ruhe. </p>
<p>Über die Sehenswürdigkeiten informiert aber jeder Reiseführer besser als ich&#8230;viel wichtiger ist das Essen <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Bei einem Besuch in Rom empfehle ich, sich nicht in die auf Touristen ausgelegten Pizzarien locken zu lassen. Die &quot;echten&quot; italienischen Restaurants, die meist etwas abseits und in Seitengassen liegen, bieten kulinarisch deutlich mehr und haben m.E. auch ein deutlich angenehmeres Ambiente. Sie sind zwar auch nicht ganz billig, vor allem weil es mit einem Gang nicht getan ist, aber für 4 Tage ist es das definitiv Wert! Für zwischendurch bekommt man in allen mit &quot;Bar&quot; beschrifteten Cafés leckere belegte Brötchen zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Auch hier nicht auf die mobilen Stände von schamlosen Halsabschneidern reinfallen!</p>
<p>Nunja, das war mein (wirklich) kurzer und oberflächlicher Bericht zu Rom. Wer mehr wissen will darf mich gerne direkt kontaktieren. Es waren jedenfalls 4 sehr schöne Tage&#8230;aber das nächste mal komme ich nach Rom, wenn es wärmer ist <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We did it. Nils and I actually took the trip every true aviation enthusiast should take once in his/her life. Well, at least should try to whenever around the area <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Since any reader not absolutely visually impaired knows that I&#8217;m currently residing in Hong Kong, most of the more interested in aviation might have already figured what I&#8217;m talking about: We visited the probably most famous checkerboard there is&#8230;at least in aviation. For everyone who doesn&#8217;t have a clue what I&#8217;m talking about a short explanation: The old airport of Hong Kong, namely Kai Tak, was located right in Kowloon with its only runway constructed in the middle of victoria harbour. Because of the predominant winds and the mountainous surrounding area a direct approach was impossible. Therefore pilots had to fly into Hong Kong low over densly populated districts and turn sharply by 43 degrees just seconds before touch-down. To help the pilots &quot;hit the right spot&quot;, a checkerbord was installed which, whenever visible, marked the spot at which the turn had to me made. This approach is easily the most exciting one in aviation history and if you can&#8217;t quite imagine what&#8217;s supposed to be so interesting about it, take a look at <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0049408/L/">this</a> or <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1226009/L/">this</a> or <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1005859/L/">this</a> picture. You can find <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kai_Tak_Airport">more information on the airport and the approach on Wikipedia</a>.</p>
<p>But now a little something about our trip itself. We took the East Rail Line to Kowloon Tong and changed to the Kwun Tong Line to get to Lok Fu. The &quot;Checkerboard Hill&quot;, the little mountain the checkerboard is placed on, is located in a small park right next to the station. Unfortuntely we didn&#8217;t bring along a map (d&#8217;oh) and since we thought the hill was a little further off we started walking straight into the wrong direction. After we walked into a few dead ends and around the complete park we finally got a <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/ImpressionsfromHongKong/checkerboard/IMG_7695.JPG.html">glimpse of our goal</a> through fences and plenty of vegetation. We then tried to climb up the hill to get both a view of the old airport as well as the board itself. But since the whole top of the mountain is a fresh water reservoir everything was tightly sourrounded by fences and it was prohibited to step about anywhere. Since both of us are self-confessed wimps who enjoyed a good education we didn&#8217;t dare to cross any of those lines of course. But obviously we weren&#8217;t alone in our pilgrimage and we met an <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/ImpressionsfromHongKong/checkerboard/IMG_7719.JPG.html">asian couple</a> who seemed to have the same goal as we did. Contrary to us they were quite a bit more daring and bravely ignored the old signs &quot;blocking&quot; the entry to some dirt tracks around the middle part of the hill. So we followed them and figured quickly that absolutely no one except us ever gave a damn about the signs&#8230;at least judging from &quot;trails&quot; they left <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Shortly after we enjoyed an almost unobstructed view of the <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/ImpressionsfromHongKong/checkerboard/IMG_7721.JPG.html">old airport</a> (now a large construction site) and <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/ImpressionsfromHongKong/checkerboard/IMG_7710.JPG.html">Kowloon</a>. The checkerboard itself is in a <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/ImpressionsfromHongKong/checkerboard/IMG_7706.JPG.html">miserable condition</a>, covered by weeds and trees to a large extend and with the colors worn off over time. If it wasn&#8217;t for the water reservoir the whole hill would probably have already been converted into building ground for an office building, an appartment tower or, most likely, a mall. It would be really nice if someone could clear the board of all the plants, give it a fresh paint job and make it more accessible. This would keep a little piece of Hong Kong history alive&#8230; something that should have been done a lot more often in this city but was usually neglected. </p>
<p>Anyway, I can claim I&#8217;ve been there! You can take a look at a few of the photos we took <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/gallery/main.php/v/ImpressionsfromHongKong/checkerboard/">here</a>. And if you think we&#8217;re crazy&#8230;hey, some people fly around the globe just to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Stone">walk around a stone</a> in circles, so I can take the MTR to look at a checkerboard <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I admit, it has been fairly quiet around here over the last couple of weeks. And since a few people were complaining about this silence I&#8217;ll use this first post of year 2008 to get everybody reading this up-to-date about what&#8217;s currently planned and going on. Hopefully all of you had a merry Christmas and went well into the new year. I spent the holidays with my family and girlfriend in Hong Kong, managing to actually gain some (too much) weight although there were hardly any large, tasty and rich family meals as it&#8217;s usually the case when spending Christmas at home. Let&#8217;s just blame it on the candy&#8230;or the muscle mass gained while wandering around the city in a true touristic fashion. Anyway, I&#8217;m back to the gym now and my last days in Hong Kong go by.</p>
<p>That should be enough of the personal stuff though. Now that my family, my girlfriend and even my roommate left, one might think there should be plenty of time to get some work done. And as I never found a way out of my motivational dive cruise I can&#8217;t see myself spending much time travelling in the very near future either. Perfect conditions to rot in front of the screen&#8230;and in fact, after I wasted yesterday by bringing malaria pills to the airport (thanks Mark <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> ), today I officially started the work on the next major version of AirlineSim, namely 1.4. Don&#8217;t get too excited&#8230;not a single line of code has been hacked in so far. We&#8217;re having so many features, changes and improvements in mind for this milestone that the first thing to get done was some organizing. The result was a rough list of about 30 topics basically covering every aspect of the game in some way or the other. It contains mostly changes that will be applied to existing functions but there are also some brand new features on it which I will leave in the dark as of now of course <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Still, you should be able to imagine that a whole bunch of work will come along with this wishlist and I expect it to have grown to easily above 200 tasks after we went into the details. Actually it feels like at the beginning of a totally new project whenever I look at this pile of stuff to get done. Unfortunately all this will have to take place under heavy time constraints as I will only have about one month of spare time before my internship with <a href="http://www.agilitylogistics.com">Agility Logistics</a> starts in March. Naturally I&#8217;ll spend this time with my girlfriend to a large extend so we will have to see how AirlineSim can squeeze in. Either way I reckon that several months will pass until this major release will see the light of the day. And seriously&#8230;I can&#8217;t wait for it <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yep, it&#8217;s been a while since new material appeared in this location but somewhat I didn&#8217;t feel like writing too much lately even though plenty of stuff to write about would&#8217;ve been available. I still didn&#8217;t write about my trip to Japan&#8230;shame on me. Anyway, today I attended the very last lecture of this semester. Just four exams left until some time before christmas and this will be it. Unbelievable how time went by, especially November. Nils and I are still thinking about where we could travel in January because we have plenty of time until our scheduled departure from Hong Kong. But somewhat we are lacking the necessary motivation and are not very decisive when it comes to picking the destination. (Northern) China is too cold, diving in the Philippines is not valuabe enough in a cultural sense and all the other countries surrounding us are too exotic for us wimps to dare. But oh well, we&#8217;ll see. Recommendations are very welcome, so in case you know a place you always wanted to see photos of, just let us know <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> . </p>
<p>Another small thing that might be interesting to some of you: Today I did what Hong Kong is known for best to many people&#8230;I ordered a tailor-made suit. Measures were taken today, first try-on will be on monday and the whole thing will be finished some days later. I&#8217;m really anxious to see the results next week. Mark and Norman already ordered theirs a few days earlier and had their first try-on today. The difference between a regular of-the-shelve suit and a custom made one is very obvious. The package will include the suit, a shirt and an additional pair of trousers&#8230;for the price of my current suit which I bought back in Germany last year. They will keep my measures and whenever I need a new suit I can reorder one and they will ship it to any place I need it at. As soon as I see the results I will let you know about it. Chances are you come by HK some day and need one too <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I eloberated quite a bit on the heat issues plagueing my notebook lately. Well, this weekend the situation worsened considerably up to the point that the machine crashed under the slightest above-average load. Working on it was not possible anymore effectively so I decided to call up the local Asus service office. Contrary to my expectation the person on the phone spoke very good English and I had no trouble explaining my problem to him. He left a very qualified impression and I was confident that he actually understood what I was talking about (which is not always the case with today&#8217;s service personell). Since it was saturday we arranged me to drop by on Monday to take a look at the notebook. So I went there and showed the problem to him. He wrote a receipt and told me it would take about 1 to 2 days, depending on the cause of the problem. And in fact, today, not even two full days later, I did the trip again and picked up my repaired machine. They exchanged the whole cooling unit and ran several tests on it to ensure the problem was actually gone. It didn&#8217;t cost me a single cent and they never asked for a guarantee certificate, registration or whatsoever. The whole process was very quick, professional and unbureaucratic. </p>
<p>This of course is also due to the fact that everything&#8217;s close together in Hong Kong. I just had to take the subway and drop by to hand in the notebook. I did not have to send it in by mail or anything similar. The service office was very small and you always talked to the same person which is a great feature to me. So thumbs up for Asus&#8217; support in Hong Kong. It was almost flawless!</p>
<p><i>PS: Now that I have a working, <a href="http://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-Asus-F3Jm.2206.0.html" title="F3Jm made 86%">well-graded</a> notebook at hand again this should put a (preliminary) end to my search for possible alternatives <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As mentioned a few days ago I&#8217;m off to Japan tomorrow. So hopefully<br />
nothing serious happens while I&#8217;m gone&#8230;especially concerning<br />
AirlineSim. But my <a href="http://mutantenstadl.de/">favourite admin</a> and the other programmers will take care of any problems I guess <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Unfortunately the payment of our flight to Beijing is still up in the air although we have tried two different websites now. Obviously there is something wrong with Nils&#8217; and my credit cards even though the bank claims everything should be working just fine. Anyway, Nils has to take over now since I&#8217;ll be out of reach for some days. I hope we get this stuff booked somehow&#8230;otherwise we&#8217;ll probably have to stay in Hong Kong and actually do some studying <img src='http://www.lunikon.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I spent most of my time working on a senseless assessment today. Senseless because it was, as so often, more or less a straight copy from the text book by assignment. I mean, why should I complain, this makes up a considerable amount of my grade in this subject. But it still kills any spark of motivation which makes it an annoying and unpleasent work. Oh well, it&#8217;s done now.</p>
<p>Later I received an email from our ticket system informing me about a ticket that has been escalated to me. After reading it I was once again assured that security checks are about useless in a webgame. The (intentionally unnamed) person frantically explained how he deleted his user account including all his credits although he actually wanted to delete only a holding. Now, for persons who&#8217;ve never attempted to delete their account or have never played AirlineSim, a short explanation: In case one wants to do so, he/she has to click a button clearly marked as dangerours by the text above. After clicking it the user is lead to a page that once again tries to point out the potential consequences of proceeding, including unrestorable loss of all account data and all credits bought for the account. This time the warnings are even highlighted in a clearly warning color. If you still decide to click the little button under this warning your account gets deleted. And what does this little story tell us? Players acting carefully don&#8217;t need security checks&#8230;the rest ignores them&#8230;bravely. </p>
<p>There are far more serious problems today though. I <a href="http://www.lunikon.net/index.php?/archives/46-Touring-Asia.html">told you some time ago</a> about our planned trip to Beijing and about all the trouble involved in getting the tickets for several means of transport. Well, we found a travel agency which made booking and paying far easier than the one before. But especially concerning the latter aspect they seem to be very selective. We all successfully reserved our flights and most of us were also able to pay for them, thereby actually booking it. But Nils and I were less lucky. We booked together and I wanted to pay for it using my Visa credit card. The next day I got a call asking me to confirm the given information and telling me that they will finalize the booking as soon as the credit check was successful. Some time later I received another call which I wasn&#8217;t able to pick up due to holding a presentation. I&#8217;ll never find out who called but since it&#8217;s more or less obvious I expect it to have been the travel agency which wanted to tell me the the credit check _failed_. I didn&#8217;t hear anything from them until today when I decided to write them an email asking what the status of my booking was. They told me that the credit check failed &#8211; thanks for doing so finally &#8211; and that I should &quot;put money in the account&quot;. I assured them that the &quot;account&quot; had enough money in it so debitting the card should not pose a problem. But the reply was negative&#8230;&quot;probably we don&#8217;t have an agreement with your bank, try another card&quot;. I acted as told and tried using the MasterCard generously given to me by my dad but the result as well as the response was basically the same. Now that makes me wonder&#8230;didn&#8217;t I get me a Visa card to be able to pay at any place accepting Visa cards? Isn&#8217;t that the whole point of having a card like this? If I have to care about what &quot;agreement&quot; a single provider has with my bank back in Germany, of what use is the whole thing supposed to be for me? After all this makes the card useless for its holder because he can not depend on being able to pay with it. I wrote an email to my bank about this story, maybe they can tell me what&#8217;s going on. Now we&#8217;ll try to use Nils&#8217; card. Keep your fingers crossed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This must have been one of the most spontaneous decisions of my life: Tonight a buddy I met here in Hong Kong asked me whether I&#8217;d like to go on a trip to Japan. Four days in Tokyo, flight from Hong Kong on a <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1227868/L/">Northwest Airlines B747</a>, a typical Japanese <a href="http://www.capsuleinn.com/">Capsule Inn</a> and a guide who has spent five years living in the city really sounded great. Only negative aspect was the price tag&#8230;but after thinking about it and imagining the possibilities to get this package once more I just said yes. He came down to my room, we booked the flight and reserved the &quot;hotel&quot; and now I&#8217;m sitting here, trying to realize that I&#8217;ll be sitting on a plane to Japan in less than two weeks. I have this sudden craving to watch <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_Translation">Lost in Translation</a>&#8230;</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not it: While the trip to Japan will be over on the 13th, the next flight leaves from Shenzen on the 14th and has its destination in Beijing. Hopefully anyways&#8230;because booking tickets in China seems to be far more complicated (but therefore cheaper) than in Japan. Actually we wanted to take a night train from Beijing to Xi&#8217;an as well but the railway company obviously wasn&#8217;t willing to take our money: Firstly the payment and booking process was unbelievably complicated &#8211; say bureaucracy &#8211; and secondly European credit cards appear not to be as common around the globe as one might think. But oh well, Beijing will be nice by itself. I just hope that we will finally get the flights booked tonight.</p></p>
