Tried to decode the Chinese menu on the plane, and I think I'll have endless fun with that! :D Butter is 牛油 – cow oil! Ice cream is 雪糕 – snow pudding! Potato is 土豆 – ground bean! Tomato is 番茄 – foreign eggplant!

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 Ha, I should have sent you parcel to take - sending stuff there is a nightmare.

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 I don’t know of it's around anymore, but north of Sham Shui Po station there are lots of tech stores. When I ventured into one of the less polished building, I saw a lot of small stores mostly doing refurbishment - checking disks for bad sectors, installing operating systems etc., lots of second hand hardware. And they still smoked in there :D I got a couple of 500 GB HDD there eight years ago when I was still a broke student on exchange.

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 Für Huaqiangbei unbedingt mehr Zeit einplanen, ich war nur einen Abend und einen kompletten Tag dort unterwegs und das hat nicht im Ansatz gereicht. Generell lohnt sich Shenzhen total, also bloß keinen Tagestrip, sondern unbedingt länger dort bleiben!

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 лек път! (Das war Bulgarisch für "Gute Reise", wörtlich "Leichten Weg")

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 DimSum Labs, Hackspace in Shenzhen falls es den noch gibt. Da hab ich jemanden getroffen der einen Forth-Dialekt geschrieben hat um in klassischem Chinesisch zu programmieren. Veröffentlicht in dem Deutschen Forth Fanzine „die vierte Dimension“. 😁

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 Amazing, hope you have an amazing time. Not sure how long you're in HK for, but I highly recommend: - Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin - Tian Tan Buddha + Tai O Fishing Village in Lantau Island. - Pineapple Bun (bolo bao) - They're available all around, but if you happen by Sheng Shui station (Hong Kong's New Territories area), the best one I had was from Kwong Sing Café which is a short walk away https://maps.app.goo.gl/HFtJnDkxpSmDh9KW6 HK-style cafe, comfort food 😊

@blinry @ubahnverleih @robbi5 the Buddha (there's a great vegan place up there) and the fishing village on Lantau island is very nice and a very different scenery. I was in HK alone several times and would look for second hand stores and then see where that trip would take me. Just wandering around the city. Also make sure to try the bubble egg waffles! Ahh HK, I would really like to visit again. Enjoy your stay and eat all the things!
