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

@Finn666:

…

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

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…

@FOXY:

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 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.

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.

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…

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.

Here's tonight's food

[FOXY]

After a hard night's sleep I'm making my wife a coffee - it's in everybody's best interest

And porridge with bananas for me

[FOXY]

Today will be a little less visual since we have to pack for our flights to Moscow via Frankfurt tonight.

[Finn666]

Have a save flight you two…and again thanks for all those great updates so far!

[FOXY]

At the bank right now - trying to tank some cash for the trip

Thanks - we'll do.
Expect random updates in-between…

Ok - things are packed, the wife is at the hairdresser (less stress) and I'm ready to go.
Should be be heading for the airport in 30mins.

I'll have to warn you - I might not be able to wear the jeans for probably the first 2 days in Moscow (at least during daytime and probably the evening if they take us out) as they have me interviewing for a "head of…" type position. I'm sure you'll understand...
