Funny Book from Hong Kong

While I was in HongKong I found this little funny book in a sweet little shop. They had some funny gadgets and also kids stuff. 





When I saw the little book I thought, maybe it's a book to explain older kids the topic death and how it comes that people they know pass away (in a child-friendly way). I grabbed it because it might be a good one for my god-daughter.
After I skimmed through the book and couldn't hold my laughter because it is so hilarious, I had to buy it!

Just to give you an inside few, I took some pictures from one really funny little story:

I had to hold it open ;)


It is so so funny, how Doug is trying to make a joke!!


And Phils reaction is so understandable!!

Even now, after I read it the 20th time, I can't stop laughing!!

What do you think, isn't it funny. I mean death is not really funny, unfortunately I know it, but I think it is sometimes good, to take a step back and not everything so/to serious.

I wish you all a great day and of course a wonderful weekend!!

Oh and please remember, next week we will have a new Etsy shop of the week, so please scroll a little down and take the chance to write a little comment for Anna and her great work @ anoteworthyoriginal!!
Thank you!!

funny greetings

Hong Kong

Yesterday I had some time to visit Hong Kong. It is an amazing city. I really like it. The people are so kind and helpful. And it is such a vibrating and vivid city. You can see so many different people from different countries and you hear so many languages. It's just so exciting!!!

Hong Kong IFC

We ate very good Dim Sum. If you ever have the chance, try it. It tastes fantastic!!


near Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong


The most impressive thing I had been lucky to enjoy, was the service from the airport and the city. At the main stations in the city you can check in and leave your luggage, they bring it to the airport. Means, you can enjoy the time in the city and don't have to worry about all your stuff. You just have to take the air train  2 hours before boarding and go straight to your gate at the Hong Kong airport. AWESOME!!!!


Hong Kong CBD

After an exciting day I flew from gate 1 (thats very seldom, told us the captain) to Taipei. I am a little behind the events, 'cause I am already in Taipei, Taiwan. I will tell you about my first day later tonight (it's already after 7pm on April 9th over here) or tomorrow. 
The people over here are even more polite and kind.

lively and fantastic greetings

Hong Kong and China




Shenzhen (China)

I have to tell you that it is a huge problem with all these time zones. I mean, I remembered to change the time on my iPhone, but did not changed it on my Mac. So please, be aware that I am maybe a little in front of you with the time, and my yesterday may be your today.

on the way back from the factory (China)

Yesterday I was my first time in China, Mainland China. I met up with a business partner in Hong Kong (it was hot and humid), we managed some stuff about banks and accounts and than we drove with the car from Hong Kong to the New Territories and parked the car, 'cause it is way easier to go by train to China. 

near the train station (China)

You need to know that in Hong Kong (I mean all areas from Hong Kong), the cars are like in the UK: right hand drive. But the traffic in China is left hand drive. And you are only allowed to drive with your car from Hong Kong to China and and vice versa if you have both license plates (really expensive to get both, only really rich people having both license plates). There are tree border crossings, two for cars and one for pedestrians. We took the one for pedestrians. 

apartment buildings in China

We drove from the New Territories to the border crossing, 'checked out' in Hong Kong and walked over a bridge (no-mans-land) and checked in to China. 

China (shops with 'fake' electronical devices)

It was a huge difference to Hong Kong, even the people looked the same, but the buildings, the shops, the advertisement and the cars. Everything looked different.

how people life (China)

The driver from the factory picked us up and we drove to the factory. It was very interesting but also oppressive. In the late evening we went back to Hong Kong. It was very impressive and I was so tired.

our way back to train station (China)

OK folks, I have to pack my stuff and go to the CBD. Hope you all enjoy your day. Please remind me to show and tell you about my host, where I stayed during I was in Hong Kong, it was/is amazing. You wouldn't believe!!

warm and humid greetings from Hong Kong
