Amazing Hong Kong views

This time of year the sky changes rapidly, from sun to pouring rain by the minute. Makes some nice light and vivid colours and if you get up between the high rises on Hong Kong island you can get some awesome pictures.

Traktor in DPRK.

A couple of weeks ago it is now that I returned from DPRK, however I think the impressions has first now settled and it is time to get some of the stories out.

It is one of the worlds most secretive states and the conditions of peoples lifes there has undoubtfull been the cause of many rumours and speculations. How it really is to live there, I cannot answer. The only thing I can say is that I have been there and seen some of it, and that many of the rumours we are witnessing in the western medias could be true, but also that there is another side of it that we are not getting.

The country is for sure dominated by the devotion to the Kim's. They are ever present. If on photographs, in paintings or as here as statues, these people means everything or nothing to the people of the DPRK, at least that is what they let you think as a visitor.

It is like a religion, and in many ways I feel there could be made a comparison to the way the roman catholic church are devoted to the figure of Jesus or Muslims to Mohammed. Even this is not the subject here. All I'm trying to do is to show some impressions from a country we in the west have decided we do not like and a country we do not want to trade with.

Ein Hauch Deutschland in Hong Kong

It is the time of the World Cup, and everywhere you can meet different nationalities in the pubs and bars celebrating their teams. Sunday morning I was in little England to see their opening against Italy, and tonight it is "ein Hauch von Deutschland". Means something like a piece of germany.
