Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013

[FOXY]

The only bad thing about the food obsession here in China is that you can never go back to Europe and go for "Chinese" - spoiled for life!

some more proper pictures - this time un-resized and filed as family safe - sorry, no more pin-ups (but you would know where to find them anyhow, right?)

this is my half of our wardrobe - shirts

some of my jeans

my japanese tees - mostly "loopwheeled" or "cotton sinker", but also 2 IH tees

jackets - IH rider is one of them

view across Ersha Dao and the Pearl River - you can see our house from here

Another day - another mission
Today: going to HK

First thing is seeing off the wife to work

Now, I'm heading for the train station. I hope I'll make the 9:50 train…

fuck man…your collection is outta this world!
how long are you on the jap.denim/t-shirt kinda thing now?...

A week or 2 earlier and you would have seen me working.
Right now I guess you have to put up seeing me doing this:
Unemployed
Interviewing in Moscow
Relocating
Preparing our wedding
Shopping

I could offer an apology if it helps anybody.
On a second thought - the last 9 years are enough justification for me leaning back right now.

I know I have problem! Go, talk to my wife.

About 5 years. Didn't like jeans growing up and later on I couldn't figure out why everybody was into 501 (for a lot of money in Europe) when the denim was obviously low quality…
Somehow I happened to look up Take5 in preparation of one of my business trips to HK and there it gradually started the denim thing for me - better late than never!

The tee-shirt-thing bugs me for much longer already - got obsessed with John Smedley and similar brands. I guess it comes with my chosen trade that you can't stop admiring companies that seem to go for commercial suicide "just" because of quality.

Afternoon tea

[FOXY]

This is why I came to HK today

Nice - isn't it?

And I know she likes it.

Hypothetical question: Why can't she go for a real nice pair of jeans? I would…

My favorite shoe store (for Allen's):

I will probably take you to my local boot dealer in HK later this month - need to check on my MTO Viberg's, they should be due…

I hope you can keep this up cuz I am hooked!!!!

I think the next 3 weeks' itinerary speaks for itself - not worried.

But, you guys will have to live with the transit time while I'm on the plane. Furthermore, I would expect some limitation in regards to cellular mobility and intentional roaming charges  - otherwise I should have it covered.

[FOXY]

Couldn't leave HK as planed on the 16:35 through train to GZ. Shoot…
Going the slow and painful way: taking the MTR to Lo Wu (40min) and then the fast train from SZ to GZ (1-1.5hrs). Painful because of the border crossing in-between.

[FOXY]

Oops - forgot to mention: we bought carpets for our home in Berlin

[stever]

finally got a  hance tp check in with the tour - so glad they reached you kaj; you're doing an amazing job of a leg! sorry to everyone about the tarnsitional cockups on my end - kinda simmered off and flatlined (to mix up a bunch of metaphors)

hope all is well with the IH crew - things settled down on my end just in time for me to take some time off with the girlfriend.
much love to all
stever

[madmonday]

stever glad to hear from you & i'm glad things are looking up.

[FOXY]

Ok - so there I was crossing the border at Lo Wu/Shenzhen


On the other side I had to queue up for the train tickets to Guangzhou

Then it was waiting for the train




And I'll get into trouble for this one…

[FOXY]

I arrived just in time for meeting with friends for dinner.
We went for some modern version of Sichuan cuisine. Hot!

2 of the 3 girls are already there.
