justify; "&gt;E così, dopo il turno dei genitori di Tommi è arrivato anche quello dei miei!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;E' stata una settimana intensa e piena di cose nuove e interessanti. Siamo riusciti a diversificare un minimo l'itinerario rispetto alle cose viste con i Tommi parents, quindi non ci siamo mai annoiati... e abbiamo scoperto angoli di Hong Kong non particolarmente sponsorizzati dalle guide e seriamente sottovalutati!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Il primo giorno pioveva, ma non ci siamo fatti scoraggiare. Anche se avevamo pianificato di andare subito al Peak, con tutte quelle nuvole era chiaro che non si sarebbe visto niente: allora abbiamo ripiegato sul giardino botanico di Hong Kong. Una varietà infinita di piante, ovviamente, ma anche di uccelli e scimmie di ogni tipo, forma, colore e provenienza! Soprattutto, non in minuscole gabbie tristi come allo zoo di Guilin...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgKyNSyhdFI/AAAAAAAAAo0/EYwy6Yvm43g/s400/DSC_0270.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333020850211877970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgKyNncb2mI/AAAAAAAAAo8/uZuKbQg2y_A/s400/DSC_0275.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333020855756380770" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgKyN_GHLpI/AAAAAAAAApE/wUbiKPHZ4Kg/s400/DSC_0284.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333020862105202322" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Ma in realtà la cosa più favolosa è stato il pranzo. Abbiamo iniziato subito con un bel Dim Sum, il pranzo tipico di Hong Kong a base di piccole pietanze, in un ristorante che recentemente ha guadagnato una stella Michelin. La cameriera pensando di fare cosa gradita ci ha portato gli stuzzichini prima che ordinassimo: la tentazione di scappare è stata forte! Voi che avreste fatto?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sf7_-KXbTbI/AAAAAAAAAos/I4tziD01UCs/s400/DSC_0290.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331980452252831154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Noi, dopo un rapido tentennamento, le abbiamo mangiate. E vi posso assicurare che, nonostante l'aspetto raccapricciante, erano buonissime! O meglio: erano normalissime uova sode, cotte chissà come, che sapevano di uovo sodo. Ma con una consistenza un po' diversa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Il resto del pranzo era delizioso! E il babbo e la mamma si sono rassegnati all'idea di imparare a mangiare con le bacchette...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Il resto del pomeriggio è stato dedicato alla tappa obbligatoria del mercato dei pesci tropicali, per poi proseguire a Mong Kok, regalando al babbo una nuova bellissima macchina fotografica!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgKyONDwauI/AAAAAAAAApM/5X9VM6aap4E/s400/DSC_0318.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333020865853418210" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Il giorno seguente abbiamo deciso di avventurarci nei Nuovi Territori, come dice il babbo definizione molto "Blade Runner" per indicare i grandissimi spazi periferici oltre la penisola di Kowloon, che ospitano le poche testimonianze sopravvissute dell'antica Hong Kong e scenari naturali di rara bellezza.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Ci siamo diretti a Ping Shan, sede dell'antico clan Tang, che dominava Hong Kong. Ci sono costruzioni stupende che risalgono a 700 anni fa, cosa davvero rara da queste parti, dove non si fanno particolari problemi a buttare giù tutto per fare un centro commerciale. E, cosa assai positiva, eravamo gli unici visitatori! La sala degli antenati Tang, in particolare, era splendida: un complesso di diverse stanze in cui si respirava un'atmosfera serena e senza tempo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;

Un'unica eccezione: il grande Buddha a Lantau! La volta scorsa la funivia per arrivare al Buddha era in manutenzione e non avevamo potuto prenderla. Questa volta, invece, era funzionante e non solo l'abbiamo presa... abbiamo scelto la cabina col fondo trasparente! E faceva una certa impressione... la vista del Buddha arrivando dall'alto è splendida, e siamo anche stati così fortunati da avere una giornata di sole meravigliosa (come tutte quelle seguenti, del resto). La grande statua sbuca all'improvviso da dietro una collina, e la vista lascia davvero senza parole.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgLv7IRcGxI/AAAAAAAAArg/4Bce3Aehqug/s400/DSC_0493+20-21-57.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333088707872037650" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgLv7ZkzFOI/AAAAAAAAAro/VO2XswSgaXo/s400/DSC_0500+20-21-57.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333088712516637922" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgLv7r6QneI/AAAAAAAAArw/Gs9Ss1U8Rhs/s400/DSC_0507+20-21-57.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333088717438492130" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Oltretutto proprio quel giorno si celebrava il compleanno del Buddha in bronzo, e c'era uno spettacolo di artisti, acrobati e monaci shaolin che davano dimostrazione di arti marziali.

Sconvolgente come alcune cose non vengano, forse fortunatamente, pubblicizzate. Il tempio si trova su un altura raggiungibile con un percorso che conta oltre 400 scalini: tutto il sentiero è costeggiato da incredibili statue rappresentanti devoti del Buddha, tutte dorate e ognuna molto diversa dall'altra, a sottolineare le diverse virtù e inclinazioni del donatore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgL25LUQKDI/AAAAAAAAAso/3vcnm0qiQ38/s400/DSC_0673.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333096370910799922" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgL25W04FpI/AAAAAAAAAsw/iwpjpwkqaag/s400/DSC_0691.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333096374000424594" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgL25sMTblI/AAAAAAAAAs4/uYQyP3NORoY/s400/DSC_0699.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333096379735830098" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Già il percorso di per sè è spettacolare, ma quando si arriva in cima c'è da restare a bocca aperta: il tempio è letteralmente tappezzato da statuine votive (oltre 10.000, appunto) anch'esse ognuna diversa dall'altra, creando un effetto scenografico incredibile. A questo si aggiunga l'assoluta atmosfera di calma e serenità che pervade questo come altri luoghi di culto buddhista: il silenzio era rotto solo dal ticchettio dei bastoncini di chi consultava l'oracolo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;

Il posto è famoso perchè è uno dei pochi insediamenti di sampan, le case-barca che prima costituivano l'abituale abitazione per i pescatori di Hong Kong. In realtà la visita è stata abbastanza deludente: le case barca sono poche, è un canalone con un paio di kitschissimi ristoranti galleggianti dove pare si mangi anche male... La cosa migliore è stata la barchetta che abbiamo preso per fare il giretto del porto, condotta da una signora con un cagnolino favoloso... che ha anche tenuto il timone per un tratto!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgMDgykDDkI/AAAAAAAAAvY/NyIs5T82-m4/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333110245600464450" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgMDgUF37gI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/ySVOAYwWjEw/s400/DSC_0031.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333110237420842498" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOZiR0lx6I/AAAAAAAAAvw/eBmnm_cdWQ8/s400/DSC_0028.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333275197915383714" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOr5uGc0hI/AAAAAAAAAxY/_6Dfkwa3s9c/s400/DSC_0924.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333295391852778002" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Data la vicinanza, abbiamo proseguito con la visita di Ocean's Park. Inutile dire che essendo una giornata stupenda, e per di più il Primo Maggio (che è festa anche qui) il parco era invaso di gente... ma abbiamo fatto bene ad andare se non altro per vedere i panda (ce n'era uno seduto sulla sponda di un laghetto, con i piedini a mollo che facevano ciaff-ciaff che era uno spettacolo... ci guardava come per dire "io sì e voi no!!") e i delfini da vicino, a bordo vasca, mentre una bravissima istruttrice distraeva il delfino maschio con giochi e pesciolini e la delfina femmina era sottoposta a un'ecografia in acqua! Anche l'acquario profondissimo a più livelli era davvero affascinante, con la sua variegata popolazione, una specie di caotica e coloratissima Hong Kong sottomarina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgMDhH_I6zI/AAAAAAAAAvg/div0GzozAOA/s400/DSC_0119.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333110251351239474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgMDhOgjeJI/AAAAAAAAAvo/7ZRaVZEXmwI/s400/DSC_0183.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333110253102004370" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Nota di merito: io e la mamma, dando uno smacco memorabile agli uomini, abbiamo affrontato da sole (io per la seconda volta) le terribili montagne russe a picco sullo strapiombo!

Per chiudere in bellezza, approfittando dell'ennesima giornata azzurra e primaverile, ci siamo diretti verso l'università di Tommi. Il babbo ha fatto acquerelli dalla terrazza del belvedere, mentre io e la mamma ci siamo arrostite ben bene al sole, godendoci la vista della baia e degli isolotti sparsi ovunque a perdita d'occhio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOZjRp4gUI/AAAAAAAAAwI/IZ5PlwbzBkY/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333275215050342722" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOZjiwDwhI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/ELfWEX6KTBo/s400/DSC_0012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333275219639648786" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOb4YfJmkI/AAAAAAAAAwY/ho9WvlYt2W4/s400/DSC_0014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333277776684882498" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Quando Tommi ci ha raggiunti ci siamo diretti a Sai Kung, una vicina località di mare, in realtà senza troppe aspettative. Si è rivelata la miglior scelta possibile oltre che uno dei momenti più belli di tutta la settimana! Da Sai Kung partono diversi battelli per i vicini isolotti, ma ai moli attraccano anche moltissime barche di pescatori che scaricano tutto il pescato fresco e lo vendono in parte ai passanti e in parte ai numerosi ristoranti sul lungomare. Gli addetti dei ristoranti prendono le casse di pesce ancora vivo e le svuotano in enormi acquari "terrazzati", con camminamenti tramite cui il personale può raggiungere tutte le diverse vasche, che ospitano di tutto: dai pesci alle aragoste, astici, molluschi mai visti, enormi granchi-manta, ricci e altre stranissime creature marine.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOdDhvU1KI/AAAAAAAAAxA/ocnGV1OxXrE/s400/DSC_0045.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333279067658835106" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOdEAZT4LI/AAAAAAAAAxI/HRjIf2NsVPE/s400/DSC_0047.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333279075887997106" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOb48ePuCI/AAAAAAAAAwg/yD4J9QmR5PM/s400/DSC_0023.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333277786344765474" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOb5-DoutI/AAAAAAAAAw4/lafLZ_WtRuQ/s400/DSC_0036.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333277803949898450" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOb5EYTHjI/AAAAAAAAAwo/hlhUShOPlZU/s400/DSC_0026.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333277788467306034" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SgOb5tSjo5I/AAAAAAAAAww/7FnStqaYvCI/s400/DSC_0030.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333277799449076626" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; "&gt;Inutile dire che abbiamo pranzato in uno di questi posti!

Abbiamo preso un pacchetto molto conveniente che includeva volo, pernottamenti e addirittura guida e autista! In Italia non ce lo saremmo mai potuti permettere... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per me le "colline di Guilin" erano qualcosa di più di un bel posto situato a una distanza ragionevole da Hong Kong: fin da bambina ne ho sentito parlare, sia da mia nonna, grande appassionata di Cina, sia da mia mamma, cresciuta anche lei in questo mito. Me le immaginavo come un posto delle fate, colline a pan di zucchero che emergevano dalla foschia creando paesaggi magici e silenziosi, come in un'antico dipinto cinese. Non mi sbagliavo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ma al di là della poesia, la trasferta è iniziata nel più sfigato dei modi: abbiamo perso il pullman per andare all'aeroporto di Shenzhen, abbiamo scoperto che oltretutto ci metteva due ore e non un'ora e un quarto come credevamo - per cui eravamo in mostruoso ritardo, siamo stati orribilmente fregati sul prezzo del taxi, e arrivati col fiatone all'aeroporto abbiamo scoperto che ci avevano cancellato il volo, con quello successivo solo 10 ore dopo. E il mio bancomat non funzionava. Però il tutto ci è servito tipo presa a terra: abbiamo scaricato tutta la sfiga all'inizio e da lì in poi tutto è andato a meraviglia!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il primo giorno, con la nostra fantastica guida William, è stato dedicato alla visita delle risaie a terrazza a Longji. Il posto è famoso per lo splendido panorama delle colline terrazzate, che cambia a seconda della stagione tanto da sembrare un posto sempre diverso. La particolarità è anche la presenza di minoranze etniche che conservano particolari usi e costumi: la minoranza Zhuang, che costruisce bellissime case di legno e per cui il canto è uno dei criteri fondamentali per scegliere il proprio partner, e la minoranza Zao, con le donne dai vestiti colorati e dai lunghissimi capelli arrotolati in grandi acconciature. Il villaggio da cui si parte per l'hiking sulle colline è di per sè spettacolare: tutte case in legno con i tetti di tegole d'ardesia, e la vita che scorre lenta e tranquilla. Venditrici di peperoncini, verdure, patate dolci e riso cotto alla brace dentro la canna di bambù, una delizia che abbiamo avuto modo di assaggiare!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Una signorina dalle mani bellissime ci ha insegnato come comportarsi correttamente alla cerimonia del tè: ad esempio, non bisogna mai ringraziare direttamente, ma battere un dito sul tavolo se si è single e due se si è sposati. Grande interrogativo su quante dita dovessimo usare noi: abbiamo risolto con Tommi che - ovviamente - batteva un dito, e io due!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SegoMbqeV2I/AAAAAAAAAj8/ODfeW6qkihQ/s400/DSC_0268.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325550753415059298" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SegoMdNX9QI/AAAAAAAAAkE/qIZnaG7JAkk/s400/DSC_0270.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325550753829876994" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SegoM6GmhlI/AAAAAAAAAkM/k4Z9M2fJAW0/s400/DSC_0276.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325550761586099794" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-a37ed99b89d3fd4f" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v3.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Da37ed99b89d3fd4f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D10186E099B93A50B762EF41EE8CA94F7FF4C946B.620E608FEC55E603A54C3EC1B03D7946FCB86FDD%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Da37ed99b89d3fd4f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dh7BDoUGUzp1oCcxNEUMZVkAEQHQ&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v3.nonxt7.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Da37ed99b89d3fd4f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D10186E099B93A50B762EF41EE8CA94F7FF4C946B.620E608FEC55E603A54C3EC1B03D7946FCB86FDD%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Da37ed99b89d3fd4f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dh7BDoUGUzp1oCcxNEUMZVkAEQHQ&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SegoNCAn7dI/AAAAAAAAAkU/xT0GymB9FSE/s400/DSC_0286.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325550763708509650" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Stanchi morti ma felici siamo tornati all'albergo: la nostra camera era molto carina, con il letto più grande del mondo (tipo due matrimoniali messi insieme) e anche più duro, come dormire sui mattoni!

Il paesaggio era veramente irreale, le colline immerse nella foschia che si facevano nitide via via che ci avvicinavamo per poi sparire di nuovo dietro di noi, facendoci sentire come dentro una nuvola.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Il paesino infatti sarebbe anche bello se non fosse devastato dal turismo: un negozio di souvenirs dietro l'altro, e addirittura Mc Donalds e KFC. Volevamo allontanarci un po' e fare un giro tra i villaggi e le risaie, in una realtà un po' meno contaminata. E' stata l'esperienza più bella di tutto il viaggio! Diciamo la verità... tutto merito di Tommi che ha insistito, nonostante il tempo volgesse al brutto. Paesaggi maestosi, villaggi poveri ma con dignità, gente al lavoro in ogni angolo, il silenzio in alcuni punti davvero totale. Abbiamo fatto un tratto di fiume su una zattera di bambù, con il barcaiolo che ci ha parlato in cinese per tutto il tempo. Il tono sembrava amichevole, chissà il contenuto!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SelsrnLd2XI/AAAAAAAAAlc/VQEilCh_SM8/s400/DSC_0455bis.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325907530849573234" style="display: block;

Non è un musical nel senso stretto, ma più uno spettacolo altamente coreografico in cui ogni parte è dominata da un colore, per evocare diverse sensazioni, e in cui si esibiscono anche le minoranze etniche con i loro bellissimi canti e costumi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SelzigmoKPI/AAAAAAAAAm8/bGdgUrdWd3M/s400/DSC_0615.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325915071047018738" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sel6TY6183I/AAAAAAAAAns/ww1Y99ForOg/s400/DSC_0637.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325922507867681650" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SelzixO886I/AAAAAAAAAnE/vqg_QP_qgcM/s400/DSC_0627.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325915075511120802" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sel6TO_AnJI/AAAAAAAAAnk/cKSN1JlhCrQ/s400/DSC_0703.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325922505200802962" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sel6SxHrGxI/AAAAAAAAAnc/GKD2IPShvIg/s400/DSC_0692.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325922497184078610" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sel6ShtHhCI/AAAAAAAAAnU/VxTQnzK31Cg/s400/DSC_0658.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325922493046162466" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il giorno dopo eravamo abbastanza provati dalla frenesia del giorno precedente, e ci siamo mantenuti sul tranquillo: dopo essere tornati a Guilin abbiamo dedicato la giornata alla visita della città. Siamo partiti dal Seven Stars Park, con i suoi scorci incantevoli e animali mai visti, tra cui un intelligentissimo merlo indiano che è volato da noi per dirci ni-hao (e anche qualche parolaccia in cinese!). Abbiamo poi proseguito verso la famosa caverna Reed Flute Cave: una grotta imponente, con stalattiti e stalagmiti di una bellezza mozzafiato. Le più suggestive hanno un nome che ricorda la loro forma. L'illuminazione della grotta dovrebbe esaltare queste similitudini ma secondo me è troppo stravolgente: luci colorate ovunque, quando invece le strutture sono talmente belle che un'illuminazione più sobria non avrebbe fatto altro che esaltarne la naturale perfezione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);

Abbiamo approfittato del nostro inedito ruolo di ciceroni per vedere tante cose che non avevamo avuto modo/tempo di fare fino ad ora.&lt;div&gt;In realtà già dalla settimana scorsa un paio di escursioni ce le eravamo concesse. Per esempio siamo andati a Ocean's Park, un misto tra luna park e parco marino, con animali vari (foche, delfini e due panda spelacchiatissimi e super abbacchiati) e un acquario favoloso, profondissimo, con una rampa a chiocciola giro giro in modo da poter vedere tutti i livelli della vasca, dalla superficie al fondo. La spavalderia del giorno sono state le montagne russe: da fuori non sembrava, ma una volta sul vagoncino ci siamo drammaticamente resi conto che erano costruite su un dirupo a picco sul mare, parecchie centinaia di metri sotto di noi... impressionante è dire poco, eravamo nel vuoto più assoluto, solo cielo intorno a noi. Ed era troppo tardi per scendere. Se ci ripenso mi ritorna lo stomaco in gola. La cosa carina è stata invece l'ovovia che collegava un versante del parco con l'altro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmQgNqXdTI/AAAAAAAAAdg/QkgrkYuYdwk/s400/DSC_0373.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321443317812524338" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmQg__DYrI/AAAAAAAAAdo/8ioEzZJuB9k/s400/DSC_0377.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321443331321062066" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmQhKmLB9I/AAAAAAAAAdw/AUPjBKXMIGQ/s400/DSC_0460.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321443334169495506" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmQhIxaRBI/AAAAAAAAAd4/vg-UiKJ_tSI/s400/DSC_0477.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321443333679760402" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmQhUwZ5gI/AAAAAAAAAeA/lBk6dj-5oTU/s400/DSC_0489.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321443336896767490" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dopo l'arrivo dei genitori di Tommi ci siamo dati alle escursioni serie. La prima è stata al Grande Buddha del monastero di Po Lin, sull'isola di Lantau. E' il budda in esterno più grande del mondo, con i suoi 26 metri di altezza. La cosa molto tipica di HK è che sembra antico ma lo hanno messo lì 20 anni fa... comunque era molto suggestivo, e il paesaggio da sopra veramente rilassante. Finalmente un po' di verde! Ma la cosa più bella della giornata secondo me è stata la visita al villaggio di Tai O, un villaggio di pescatori povero e scalcinato, in cui l'economia si basa sulla vendita di pesce essiccato e le case della gente sono su palafitte.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmSYAF5wBI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/3rU6YW_FWOI/s400/DSC_0540.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321445375754223634" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmSX5gIr4I/AAAAAAAAAeI/0Y_M1Vj9NNI/s400/DSC_0545.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321445373985206146" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmSYVQ-rhI/AAAAAAAAAeY/Z7x4F6vrHKM/s400/DSC_0550.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321445381437828626" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmSYmyCmII/AAAAAAAAAeg/0LhVN_q7evg/s400/DSC_0561.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321445386139900034" /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmSY89HAII/AAAAAAAAAeo/JNISDi2wf2Q/s400/DSC_0572.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321445392091906178" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmT2ghdM_I/AAAAAAAAAew/IWnhtFWdZoc/s400/DSC_0584.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321446999367431154" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmT2_4vi7I/AAAAAAAAAe4/V5wgEUagISE/s400/DSC_0597.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321447007786601394" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmT3H3mfgI/AAAAAAAAAfA/7gZV4LYJxz0/s400/DSC_0602.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321447009929297410" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmT3eSY0bI/AAAAAAAAAfI/1M7ho9bAKls/s400/DSC_0606.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321447015947227570" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmT3q-QTZI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/Zl3DdEpuRmI/s400/DSC_0622.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321447019352444306" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmVqd0InXI/AAAAAAAAAfY/TDywZbEHaJY/s400/DSC_0634.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321448991505292658" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Tuorli d'uovo messi a seccare, sotto sale&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmVq_pKrWI/AAAAAAAAAfg/Pi9WHtbJdKo/s400/DSC_0647.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321449000586095970" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il giorno dopo è stata una giornata così piena che mi sono sembrate due. La mattina all'università da Tommi, ad ammirare il panorama e il campus, il pomeriggio a Mong Kok. Abbiamo visto il mercato dei fiori, con orchidee meravigliose, e quello degli uccelli, bellissimo: già avvicinandosi è tutto un cinguettare. Ci sono banchini pieni di gabbie con uccelli di ogni tipo, e anche cibo fresco... quindi sacchetti pieni di vermi, cavallette, e chi più ne ha più ne metta. E' uso comune, poi, per i proprietari di uccelli, ritrovarsi in questo giardino con le proprie gabbiette, appenderle una accanto all'altra e lasciare che i vari merli, pappagallini, cardellini, chiacchierino un po' tra di loro. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmVrJSQjLI/AAAAAAAAAfo/qFedxBOFlrI/s400/DSC_0692.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321449003174366386" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmVrIPyhwI/AAAAAAAAAfw/tbc3jQfQyPk/s400/DSC_0695.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321449002895574786" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdmVrTlADOI/AAAAAAAAAf4/Jx4ED1iKHjc/s400/DSC_0698.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321449005937331426" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sdno5h9Zy0I/AAAAAAAAAgA/0yYGKxGaV48/s400/DSC_0715.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321540509781052226" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sdno5_bUL1I/AAAAAAAAAgI/yiTgEnlDesc/s400/DSC_0717.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321540517691141970" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sdno6cB4wTI/AAAAAAAAAgY/TeapJcaPy7A/s400/DSC_0734.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321540525369114930" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sdno6OgfggI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/sBrhKD1ZPPQ/s400/DSC_0721.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321540521739387394" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il giorno dopo abbiamo proseguito sulla scia dei mercati e siamo andati a quello della giada. I banchi erano un po' più turistici, con ammennicoli di ogni genere: la cosa sbalorditiva erano i prezzi. Che fosse giada o meno, si trattava comunque di pietre dure: braccialetti, collane, ciondoli, fermacarte... il tutto a un decimo rispetto al prezzo che si pagherebbe in Italia. Inutile dire che abbiamo fatto man bassa, sempre contrattando fino allo stremo con le commercianti che fingevano disperazione ad ogni ulteriore trattativa al ribasso!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoS5ke97gI/AAAAAAAAAgo/CECLYlZ4Sf8/s400/DSC_0767.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321586689947069954" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoS50rAtBI/AAAAAAAAAgw/b7sBJqm0uqQ/s400/DSC_0771.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321586694292550674" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il giorno seguente è stato dedicato alla gita a Macao. A un'ora di aliscafo da Hong Kong, Macao, ex colonia portoghese e tutt'oggi regione a statuto speciale, è un misto incredibile di mediterraneo e Cina, in tutto: dall'architettura, alla cucina, alla lingua. Azulejos e insegne cinesi, edifici coloniali e modernissime oscenità, cartelli in cinese, inglese e portoghese... e la favolosissima moneta locale, la Patacca di Macao.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Bellissima la facciata dell'ex cattedrale: la chiesa è stata completamente distrutta da un incendio nell'ottocento, ed è rimasta in piedi solo la facciata, in cima alla scalinata che dà su una piazza, creando un effetto stranissimo di quinta teatrale. Dietro la facciata, il cielo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La cucina macanese è a base di pesce, con forti influenze portoghesi, cantonesi e asiatiche in generale. Ho mangiato un gamberone gigante con una salsina che dire agliata è usare un eufemismo, ma era buonissimo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La Macao moderna è famosa soprattutto per i casinò, è un po' la Las Vegas d'oriente: ce n'è uno orrendo che deturpa il paesaggio, una specie di obbrobrio a forma di fiorellone... inguardabile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoS6DCmxQI/AAAAAAAAAg4/1sDHIlzIqFU/s400/DSC_0799.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321586698149610754" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoZFqDp-fI/AAAAAAAAAhQ/hY-dYG5M-fM/s400/DSC_0798.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321593494671325682" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoS6QDFeFI/AAAAAAAAAhA/UyHdkSEWmoc/s400/DSC_0806.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321586701641283666" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoS6oxbsnI/AAAAAAAAAhI/6wQtIupFSIc/s400/DSC_0815.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321586708278129266" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoZF13j_pI/AAAAAAAAAhY/PxSIKE4at9E/s400/DSC_0826.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321593497841827474" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoZGM1ir1I/AAAAAAAAAhg/7xyapNJhyng/s400/DSC_0828.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321593504007368530" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoZGarjBnI/AAAAAAAAAho/gmj0VzZITFU/s400/DSC_0858.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321593507723544178" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SdoZG6HZyqI/AAAAAAAAAhw/P5GqdiY97uY/s400/DSC_0877.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321593516161878690" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Insomma, una settimana intensa, ma finalmente con la scusa di fare da guide abbiamo visto tante cose dei dintorni!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E quando verranno i miei... altro giro, altra corsa!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Adesso vado a fare la valigia: Tommi è in Easter break dalle lezioni e ci siamo presi quattro giorni per fare un giretto low cost in Cina, sempre nei dintorni.

E' una specie di riserva naturale famosa per il fatto che ci abita una folta colonia di macachi allo stato selvatico. Selvatico in realtà è una parola grossa: le scimmie sono completamente abituate all'uomo, anche perchè nonostante ci siano dappertutto cartelli che ribadiscono il divieto di dare da mangiare agli animali, i cinesi vanno in carovana con borse piene di muffin e frutta che elargiscono generosamente alle avide scimmiette.&lt;div&gt;Le scimmie non sono animaletti carini e amichevoli, anzi. Prima di tutto bisogna stare molto attenti a morsi e graffi, perchè dato che le bestiole appartengono a un ceppo molto simile a quello umano, ti possono tranquillamente contagiare con le più disparate malattie, dall'influenza all'AIDS. Per questo motivo non bisogna fissarle negli occhi (lo prendono come un segno di sfida e ti aggrediscono), cercare di toccarle o parlare a voce troppo alta. Quando poi hanno i piccoli al seguito, diventano particolarmente incazzose! Altra cosa, niente cibo. Se ti vedono mangiare ti saltano addosso e cominciano a frugarti dappertutto: borsa, tasche... ti tirano per i vestiti... e appunto, magari s'incazzano anche se non dai loro qualcosa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A parte questo, comunque, vale la regola del più grosso: noi umani sicuramente le spaventiamo di più di quanto loro possano spaventare noi, e a meno di non essere esplicitamente provocatori o completamente deficienti, le scimmie ti considerano il giusto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Abbiamo preso la metro fino a un certo punto, e poi il taxi fino all'ingresso del parco: appena arrivati, una macachessa a pochi metri da noi ci ha guardati con diffidenza per poi continuare a farsi gli affari suoi. Ci siamo inoltrati in un sentiero naturalistico e abbiamo camminato per un po'. Inizialmente niente animali, eravamo anche un po' delusi... ma poi, tornando indietro, ci siamo accorti che c'erano almeno due scimmiette che ci stavano seguendo, saltando da un albero all'altro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SccQkS0pKKI/AAAAAAAAAao/U1OIKMsdEk8/s400/DSC_0094.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316236100848134306" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SccQllAoFEI/AAAAAAAAAaw/atLP0GK7uCk/s400/DSC_0097.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316236122910102594" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SccQlxlAlaI/AAAAAAAAAa4/0mNMtfz-xGw/s400/DSC_0098.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316236126283928994" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SccQm_aAWcI/AAAAAAAAAbA/N448h-hMvNk/s400/DSC_0112.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316236147175741890" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;(la vedete?)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;E alla fine abbiamo deciso di tornare al punto di partenza, per scoprire che c'erano scimmie dappertutto. Macachi, macachesse e macachini, alcuni veramente minuscoli e piagnucolanti, attaccati alle mamme. Alcuni si dondolavano tra i rami, altri stavano spaparanzati in pose assurde, altri ancora si spidocchiavano a vicenda oppure se ne davano di santa ragione. Ed erano tutti ammassati intorno a delle persone che in barba al regolamento (e alle multe salatissime) le rimpinzavano ben bene.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Lunga assenza e tante cose da raccontare!&lt;div&gt;Prima di tutto, gira gira, ho scoperto che Hong Kong, anche nelle zone più centrali, non è quell'ammasso di grattacieli che vogliono farci credere dalle cartoline e dalle guide. Non c'è scritto da nessuna parte, per esempio, che a Central - il cuore finanziario, la zona delle banche, degli uffici, dei colletti bianchi, degli edifici sfavillanti - c'è uno dei mercati di carne/pesce/verdura più scassati della città, che si inerpica su per vicoletti fatti di casine basse e scalcinate. Ci sono anche edifici del periodo coloniale, con i balconcini tenuti su da travi di legno e inferriate lavorate. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRoCg3vRxI/AAAAAAAAAWw/Rw8EkB_Kh-o/s400/DSC_0613.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315487852596774674" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRoC92yf4I/AAAAAAAAAW4/HGCvyDVaclA/s400/DSC_0621.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315487860377419650" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRoDKzCB_I/AAAAAAAAAXA/0KECCAM4YUw/s400/DSC_0807.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315487863851321330" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRoDdwoTpI/AAAAAAAAAXI/BaZzcUpKQng/s400/DSC_0813.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315487868941520530" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRoD07AwCI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/R-x3Uw7iVjM/s400/DSC_0820.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315487875159080994" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRprp3Ig6I/AAAAAAAAAXY/1Lw5lRhTdvg/s400/DSC_0825.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315489658896417698" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRpsHbgMCI/AAAAAAAAAXg/74pd0DAC4VQ/s400/DSC_0836.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315489666833592354" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un'altra cosa che ancora non avevamo scoperto, pur avendola sotto il naso tutti i giorni, sono i divertentissimi tram che corrono dappertutto. Sono molto stretti e alti, a due piani, e dentro sono tutti in legno, con i cartelli che invitano gentilmente a non sputare all'interno del tram. La cosa più divertente è mettersi al piano di sopra dal lato in cui il tram si incrocia con quello che viene dal senso opposto... passano vicinissimi e sembra di scontrarsi! La corsa poi costa 20 centesimi...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRps6xCMJI/AAAAAAAAAXo/Of64m2ZPUP8/s400/DSC_0246.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315489680614109330" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRps6NEUSI/AAAAAAAAAXw/Prhm33UKbok/s400/DSC_0249.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315489680463253794" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRptY_TcZI/AAAAAAAAAX4/YNw0t1AMTnk/s400/DSC_0789.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315489688727024018" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-b70c6bbcd686dc0f" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v19.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Db70c6bbcd686dc0f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D85B37D95F9B62836FCF6756C21382AF67861C12A.81178920034BD58186BF6AC10105FB8B44319E4F%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db70c6bbcd686dc0f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dtm6KOboavogOzdxJbVNGszYqEJA&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v19.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Db70c6bbcd686dc0f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D85B37D95F9B62836FCF6756C21382AF67861C12A.81178920034BD58186BF6AC10105FB8B44319E4F%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Db70c6bbcd686dc0f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dtm6KOboavogOzdxJbVNGszYqEJA&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ieri poi siamo stati in un posto favoloso: il mercato dei pesci, non nel senso del pesce da cucinare, ma dei pesci tropicali e tutto quel che ha a che fare con gli acquari. Qui è credenza diffusa che avere un acquario in casa porti ricchezza e fortuna. In effetti dalla nostra finestra abbiamo visto che i vicini, in una casa piccola come la nostra, hanno un acquario enorme. Per questo motivo c'è un'intera via della città dedicata solo a questa mania nazionale: siamo andati più che altro perchè ci trovavamo in zona, senza grandi aspettative... e invece è un posto spettacolare! Scordatevi la boccia tonda con il pesce autistico che gira tutto il giorno, o anche l'acquarietto rettangolare incastrato nella libreria: qui hanno il culto dell'acquario artistico. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRxx6xXzzI/AAAAAAAAAY4/O7nYyMsJ5IA/s400/DSC_0936.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315498562607894322" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRxxrvYvII/AAAAAAAAAYo/DA3ktFltEVc/s400/DSC_0930.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315498558573034626" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ci sono intere pareti a vetro con dentro una vera e propria barriera corallina (meglio non sapere da dove vengano tutti quegli anemoni e coralli...) popolata non solo da pesci, ma anche crostacei, tartarughe e meduse bellissime. Ci sono negozi che sono veri e propri self service: entri, ti armi di tinozza e retino, e ti peschi i pesci che ti piacciono dalle varie vasche, per poi andare alla cassa a farti fare i sacchettini e pagare. Ci sono negozi monotematici, con mille variazioni sul tema del pesce rosso; altri in cui i pesci più assurdi sono già divisi in mille sacchetti appesi fuori dal negozio; altri ancora immersi nella penombra e illuminati dalle lampade a luce ultravioletta, che creano scenari psichedelici con coralli fosforescenti. Ci sono vasche così piene di pesci minuscoli che ti chiedi come faranno a prenderne solo uno. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ma i miei acquari preferiti erano quelli che riproducevano un giardino in miniatura, con piante acquatiche simili ad alberini nei vasi, sentieri, siepi, prati... e una moltitudine di pesci colorati che sembravano sospesi in aria in questi giardini fantastici.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRxyWDlQVI/AAAAAAAAAZI/Qb2iYPobCIA/s400/DSC_0944.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315498569932030290" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRwVzWiTII/AAAAAAAAAYI/BNi8hwmnpm8/s400/DSC_0031.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315496980068322434" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRwWMSCebI/AAAAAAAAAYQ/yI3E_Y4zmUw/s400/DSC_0041.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315496986760346034" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRwWQM8LvI/AAAAAAAAAYY/gHZ3gZh4y1E/s400/DSC_0032.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315496987812703986" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRwWpZOieI/AAAAAAAAAYg/9V_Y9JiRtcU/s400/DSC_0043.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315496994575124962" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScRxyCrCabI/AAAAAAAAAZA/upx6xUNvDnU/s400/DSC_0942.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315498564728809906" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScR0SFESt_I/AAAAAAAAAZQ/8y6phL0kn4g/s400/DSC_0946.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315501314150676466" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScR0SV2m0-I/AAAAAAAAAZY/AxeQjmcA5No/s400/DSC_0947.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315501318656676834" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScR0Sx69xfI/AAAAAAAAAZo/cb2qrybKPbY/s400/DSC_0952.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315501326191150578" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/ScR0TJEuszI/AAAAAAAAAZw/ehp4Krxem4k/s400/DSC_0955.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315501332406121266" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;...

Non credevo ai miei occhi! Le strade sono un susseguirsi di negozietti, alcuni minuscoli e altri enormi per gli standard locali, e non sono tessutai nel senso che diamo in Italia al termine: essendo a un tiro di schioppo dalle industrie tessili di Shenzhen e dintorni, i negozi qui non tengono le pezze di tessuto ma solo centinaia, migliaia di cartelle colori, tutte affisse al muro. Passeggiando se ne può prendere a chili, gratis ovviamente, per poi decidere eventualmente dopo di fare l'ordine di quel tessuto. L'impatto visivo è strabiliante: intere strade tappezzate di quadratini di stoffa multicolori... una specie di enorme fiera campionaria che si tiene ogni giorno dell'anno!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sbh-GLCmjuI/AAAAAAAAASw/RHFM_pGqbew/s400/DSC_0005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312134404991520482" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sbh-GfRlZUI/AAAAAAAAAS4/8e7EE9tq8hk/s400/DSC_0008.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312134410423067970" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sbh-GfKzoHI/AAAAAAAAATA/p4fjoU5lw9s/s400/DSC_0009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312134410394640498" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ovviamente io sono impazzita e mi sono dovuta comprare anche una borsa per riuscire a trasportare tutto a casa. Non chiedetemi cosa ne farò perchè ancora non ne ho idea, ma c'erano un sacco di cose interessanti e non potevo resistere!

Fabio e Serena sono qui solo per un mese per via del lavoro di Fabio, mentre Edo e Laura hanno fatto il grande salto e da Firenze (!) sono emigrati qua dove hanno aperto uno studio di architettura.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Negli ultimi giorni si sono susseguiti in rapida successione: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;una serata di degustazione vini e formaggi in barca (sì, siamo partiti chic); &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Sto valutando una possibile collaborazione e il boss dell'azienda si è gentilmente offerto di farmi accompagnare alla fabbrica per rendermi conto della loro realtà produttiva. E così, in un'oretta e mezza di treno mi sono ritrovata a Dongguan... e appena varcata la frontiera, si capisce di trovarsi in un altro posto. Sfuma Hong Kong con la sua efficienza di metropoli, con i palazzi vecchi ma decorosi, con il suo verde... e ci si trova in un susseguirsi di palazzi sempre più grandi e dall'aspetto fatiscente, aree industriali con capannoni su capannoni... Non vorrei dare un'immagine impietosa nè tantomeno superficiale di una realtà che ho solo, veramente, intravisto. Ma, sarà stata la suggestione, il cambio d'aria si nota.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;La fabbrica era come tante, a parte l'odore fortissimo di colla che mi ha fatto bruciare gola e occhi per tutto il tempo. Pensare che quelle persone ci lavorano ore e ore tutti i giorni mi fa riconsiderare per l'ennesima volta tutte le mie "disgrazie".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-JirYWnkI/AAAAAAAAAQw/BtNjE0UJ5BQ/s320/P3020428.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309613714546531906" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-JiwhHOmI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/aQyg9jt2DSc/s320/P3020430.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309613715925449314" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-JjUcKvhI/AAAAAAAAARA/od2XCpxL0Gg/s320/P3020432.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309613725568384530" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il momento topico è stata comunque la corsa in taxi dalla fabbrica alla stazione, al ritorno: il tassista era completamente pazzo e guidava male anche per gli spericolati standard cinesi (la mia accompagnatrice era terrorizzata), e ha infilato una serie di sorpassi impossibili in autostrada, tra vecchissime moto con tre passeggeri, biciclette, pedoni, camion... sì sì, non mi sto sbagliando, pedoni e biciclette in autostrada!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Altra cosa notevole: mi ero portata i panini per pranzo, su consiglio del boss dell'azienda. E quando dico panini, intendo rarissima baguette con rarissimo prosciutto. Invece la mia accompagnatrice cinese, tutta soddisfatta, mi ha comunicato che mi avrebbe portato fuori a pranzo... io mi immaginavo un fantastico posto cinese e mi ero rassegnata a cedere i miei preziosissimi panini a Tommi per merenda. Invece la tipa, con un sorriso trionfante e mio enorme raccapriccio, mi ha portata da Mac Donald's. Mai Big Mac fu mangiato con tanta tristezza nel cuore!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-Jj6maQiI/AAAAAAAAARI/JNWdZXuxcss/s320/P3020476.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309613735811891746" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Un'altra esperienza edificante degli ultimi giorni è stata la nostra visita in biblioteca. Da tre settimane nell'appartamento sopra il nostro impazzano i lavori di ristrutturazione, e il povero Tommi non riesce a studiare. Già che anche io avevo da fare al computer, ci siamo armati di pazienza e abbiamo cercato una biblioteca qui vicino, scoprendo che era giusto dietro l'angolo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prima differenza con le biblioteche italiane: era piena, tanto che abbiamo dovuto aspettare un po' prima che si liberasse un posto a un tavolo. Seconda differenza: niente studenti, ma qualche bambino e tantissimi anziani... che vanno in biblioteca a leggere i giornali!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-Jj22aE4I/AAAAAAAAARQ/23T96PVNhiQ/s320/P3030479.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309613734805246850" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-M5Hd6L1I/AAAAAAAAARY/yOKC768pbDc/s320/P3030482.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309617398578032466" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-M5gpPSQI/AAAAAAAAARo/rNe0IIkMrrs/s320/P3030511.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309617405336439042" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ma la differenza più importante, fondamentale, sta nel... come dire? Comportamento? Usi e costumi?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Non saprei come dirlo elegantemente, ma già avevo avuto modo di notare in diverse situazioni che qui è cosa urbana e socialmente accettabile esprimersi con rutti, scaracchi e rumorose tirate su col naso (sono stata abbastanza elegante?) e ahimè, le biblioteche non fanno eccezione. Il vecchietto davanti a noi faceva un ruttino tutte le volte che girava la pagina del giornale, tanto che Tommi è arrivato a chiedersi se le due cose non fossero in qualche modo connesse. Il ragazzino accanto a me era un campionario vivente dei più vari rumori corporali. Il tutto senza che nessuno battesse ciglio: nel silenzio della biblioteca cinese, il rutto equivale al fruscio delle pagine. Rumore di sottofondo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-M5R_66nI/AAAAAAAAARg/S-LTB77aFn4/s320/P3030484.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309617401405041266" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Burp!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per concludere, ho scoperto che qua vicino c'è un mercato rionale, credo tutti i giorni. Devo tornare con la macchina fotografica seria, ma intanto ho fatto qualche foto per rendere l'idea. Ero l'unica occidentale in giro, ma qui la gente non si scompone più di tanto, anzi un'ortolana si è proprio messa in posa!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-PV1292AI/AAAAAAAAARw/zZ9abT_Ujlk/s320/P3030491.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309620091090753538" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-PWBYZeJI/AAAAAAAAAR4/Qm-fNkVI7Eg/s320/P3030490.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309620094183766162" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-PWfg2KyI/AAAAAAAAASA/upBQ9FiR1v0/s320/P3030493.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309620102272264994" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-PWpbcOCI/AAAAAAAAASI/8ExLRlJfAUI/s320/P3030498.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309620104933947426" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-PW1oipUI/AAAAAAAAASQ/pKxFFhk2JDs/s320/P3030501.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309620108210120002" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-QOVaqE_I/AAAAAAAAASY/w7PBA1nP1FA/s320/P3030504.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309621061634626546" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-QOrYAZhI/AAAAAAAAASo/_bLy1auGVuc/s320/P3030502.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309621067529086482" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/Sa-QOWrC3yI/AAAAAAAAASg/YQN_7X2UXyQ/s320/P3030505.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309621061971795746" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Appena torna il sole torneranno anche tanti post e tante fotine nuove!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alla prossima!

Si vedevano le colline dietro i grattacieli dall'altra parte della baia, così nitide che potevi contare gli alberi! Abbiamo deciso di approfittare per andare a fare un giro a Tsim Sha Tsui, ma invece che prendere la metro che passa sotto il fiume abbiamo preso il mitico Star Ferry, il battellino che fa la spola dall'isola di Hong Kong a Kowloon. Siccome è un servizio per i cittadini, e la traversata è davvero breve, costa pochissimo: 20 centesimi a corsa. Con la metro ovviamente ci si mette molto meno... ma è una cosa da fare almeno una volta!&lt;div&gt;I battelli sono a due piani e noi abbiamo preso posto sul ponte superiore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaZDqucYWLI/AAAAAAAAAPY/_4oUhwo7RQ0/s320/P2250399.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307003612203342002" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaZDq0U6giI/AAAAAAAAAPg/htEwvRxaWB8/s320/P2250403.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307003613782639138" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaZDrExHl_I/AAAAAAAAAPo/9PaqTwLAY_Y/s320/P2250413.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307003618195904498" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaZDrsmBnrI/AAAAAAAAAPw/raQu1bLDWnE/s320/P2250401.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307003628886793906" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-d46e355795ff3657" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dd46e355795ff3657%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D3D9911FD8BA4F49FD6ED33692845BE9569BF151.80CD3AA6E807B2F2F3D6A0D2392B2827352C8810%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd46e355795ff3657%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DqRZ5MirdfY7Y97pQGl8aKgBzkh8&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3Dd46e355795ff3657%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D3D9911FD8BA4F49FD6ED33692845BE9569BF151.80CD3AA6E807B2F2F3D6A0D2392B2827352C8810%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dd46e355795ff3657%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DqRZ5MirdfY7Y97pQGl8aKgBzkh8&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Da Tsim Sha Tsui ci siamo mossi verso Mong Kok, dove volevo guardare per una macchina fotografica semi professionale. Sulla guida e in un sacco di siti c'era scritto di andare in questa zona della città, piena di negozi di elettronica, dove i vari punti vendita si fanno un'accanita concorrenza tra loro e si riesce a strappare prezzi molto vantaggiosi rispetto all'Italia. Dopo una ricognizione di svariati negozi, ho trovato il modello che cercavo... ma la cosa più bella è che incluso nel prezzo mi hanno dato anche:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cavalletto&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Borsa a tracolla&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Batteria di ricambio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Scheda di memoria da 4 GB&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lettore di scheda USB&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cavo per il computer&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pellicola protettiva per il display&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;UN CONIGLIO DI PELUCHE!!

Viene servito dalle 9 di mattina al tardo pomeriggio, ma l'ora tipica per farlo è dalle 12 alle 14, quando i cinesi specialmente la domenica si affollano nei locali specializzati.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ci sono diversi modi per servire il dim sum. Il più caratteristico prevede saloni enormi con tavoli da condividere con altri commensali, e tante signore che girano per la sala con carrelli carichi di bontà. Tu fermi la signora, indichi dal carrello quello che ti ispira, lei te lo segna sulla comanda che hai sul tavolo e il gioco è fatto! Noi invece siamo capitati nell'altro genere di ristorante: c'è una lunga lista (ovviamente SOLO in cinese) con le caselline da spuntare in corrispondenza del piatto scelto. Per fortuna avevo la guida con la descrizione dei piatti e il loro nome in ideogrammi, quindi abbiamo usato quella come menu!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nel dim sum è incluso anche jasmine tea a volontà.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tra le decine di possibilità, noi abbiamo scelto:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaKszQShRcI/AAAAAAAAAOI/brub2qXZ5Wk/s320/P2220319.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305993307541816770" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Involtini di pasta sfoglia con ripieno di maiale e salsina buona&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaKszr4luiI/AAAAAAAAAOQ/Hs_dKAsD7lI/s320/P2220322.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305993314949249570" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Verdure agliate stile ammazzavampiri e raviolini di gamberi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaKs0DVwxcI/AAAAAAAAAOY/TH2ae9okqN8/s320/P2220323.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305993321245623746" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Particolare dei favolosi raviolini di gamberi freschi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SaKs0bGLg3I/AAAAAAAAAOg/lX2Pru_WZCc/s320/P2220324.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305993327622718322" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;"Siu Mai" di gamberi&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Non essendo molto esperti abbiamo preso poca robina, la prossima volta abbuffata! Era tutto buonissimo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Via, già che sono a parlare di pappa vi svelerò una delle mie cinesate preferite. La cialda al cocco! La fanno diversi baracchini in giro per strada e costa una sciocchezza (quando è cara 1 euro). L'ho scoperta per caso: eravamo per strada e sono stata colpita da una potentissima zaffata di cocco... non ci ho capito più nulla e ho seguito la scia fino ad arrivare alla fonte del profumino, e ho subito comprato un cialdone caldo fatto al momento. Una goduria!

Io in realtà mi ci sono ritrovata perchè, dopo mille telefonate ad altrettante cartolerie e "art shops", ho finalmente trovato un negozio che mi ha confermato di avere i magici pennarelli che mi servivano per disegnare le mie favolosità, e il posto in questione era precisamente a Mong Kok. Facile, ho pensato, ho l'indirizzo, vado-compro-torno. Ah! Stolta! Se a me già sembrava caotica la situazione sotto casa, mi sono dovuta ricredere una volta arrivata lì. Un marasma, un caos, un casino, un puzzo, un rumore... a tutto ciò si aggiungano i 25° con 100% di umidità di oggi... ah, e mettiamoci pure San Valentino, quindi coppiette a non finire in un tourbillon di mazzi di fiori (ok), mazzi di cioccolatini (ah però!), mazzi di lecca lecca (?!) e mazzi di pelouche (mi arrendo).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbJws22WLI/AAAAAAAAALg/blEhJ03Dy88/s320/P2140269.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302647449787455666" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbcBqw69wI/AAAAAAAAAMg/x_r-pscP4jI/s320/P2140270.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302667532492797698" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbcpiJ7maI/AAAAAAAAAMo/pF6Yx966w-Q/s320/P2140280.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302668217376545186" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alla fine comunque i pennarelli li ho comprati, ma ci ho messo anni a trovare il negozio: una cartoleria di tre piani ma con un ingresso minuscolo mimetizzato tra negozi di elettronica, abbigliamento, e scale che conducono a sospetti centri estetici specializzati in massaggi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Già che c'ero, anche se la mia missione era ormai compiuta, per tornare alla metro ho allungato un po' il giro e sono andata a dare un'occhiata al Ladies' Market, che non è il mercato delle signore, ma un mercato dove secondo la guida si trova abbigliamento a basso costo e taroccate varie. Avevo grandi aspettative, quindi forse per questo sono rimasta un po' delusa: banchi e banchi di souvenir, giocattolame (tra cui alcuni pelouche divertenti, ma dopo i mazzi ero traumatizzata e sono andata oltre), qualcosa di abbigliamento ma niente di che e scarpe che non hanno mai visto la vera pelle. Fondamentalmente mi è sembrata tutta roba che più o meno arriva anche da noi in Italia, e non ho comprato niente. Ma darò al mercatino un'altra chance prima della sentenza definitiva.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbL7-uyNFI/AAAAAAAAAL4/Hb8k9YPEXB4/s320/P2140273.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649842587284562" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbL8IGb8zI/AAAAAAAAAMA/d0U5koGny7U/s320/P2140274.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649845102408498" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbL8VHEm0I/AAAAAAAAAMI/GEZ3zWGf-FI/s320/P2140277.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649848594733890" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SZbL8rjz6lI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/Ed-Bvi9M2JI/s320/P2140278.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302649854620854866" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'unica spesa della giornata, a parte i pennarelli (che costano ahimè tantissimo come in Italia), l'ho fatta in pasticceria, visto che facevano le offerte per S.

Controllate ogni tanto che non si attacchi e quando è necessario aggiungete un mestolo di brodo, e coprite di nuovo. Deve cuocere per almeno 20 minuti.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Quando sembra pronto, aggiungete il peperoncino fresco e lasciate cuocere ancora qualche minuto senza coperchio in modo da asciugare l'eventuale sugo in eccesso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;A questo punto una bella spolverata di prezzemolo e servite caldo con una fetta di pane tostato e a piacere un filo d'olio a crudo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Ora, tutti voi siete più intelligenti di me e avete capito che probabilmente sono due posti con un nome simile, non lo stesso posto: la rimbambita qui invece se lo è sentito spiegare da un ottantenne cinese notevolmente più sveglio di lei, dopo dieci minuti che girava come una trottola perchè non le tornava qualcosa nell'indirizzo... tant'è, grazie a una folle corsa in taxi sono arrivata comunque in orario (e grazie anche alla mia ansia, per cui ero uscita mezz'ora prima!!)&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oggi era il giorno libero di Tommi che quindi mi ha raggiunto a Central, e data la bella giornata di sole - e una temperatura di circa 24° - abbiamo deciso di andare a The Peak, il punto più panoramico di Hong Kong, a fare i turistelli. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Per salire fino in cima ci sono due opzioni: sentiero che si inerpica per i 552 metri di dislivello, con una pendenza assurda e un milione di tornanti OPPURE un favolosissimo tram-funicolare, che sale su in 7 minuti. Indovinate un po' la scelta (conoscendomi)?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sì, abbiamo preso il tram, anche perchè la sottoscritta aveva i tacchi ed essendo uscita la mattina sul presto era anche troppo vestita per affrontare una salita del genere col caldo che faceva.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Già il Peak tram in sè è stata un'esperienza divertente. Il mezzo è vecchio (o vecchio stile, qui non si capisce mai fino a che punto si spinge il tarocco), ha le panche in legno, e sale a razzo con una pendenza che in certi tratti fa impressione: guardando indietro sembra di stare quasi in verticale! La cosa più bella è che si sale in mezzo alla vegetazione e poi a un certo punto... guardate da soli:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-2f851171ae583f4c" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D2f851171ae583f4c%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D3B9F99DAD2E4019EBE9634B049FDF2BC0EDD3BB1.854E793197DE247BD365CC593BC43DC08FA694C9%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D2f851171ae583f4c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dq1DAaa2OWqTdvoiyfP83eD5B-pA&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v20.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D2f851171ae583f4c%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D3B9F99DAD2E4019EBE9634B049FDF2BC0EDD3BB1.854E793197DE247BD365CC593BC43DC08FA694C9%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D2f851171ae583f4c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dq1DAaa2OWqTdvoiyfP83eD5B-pA&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYrq1uC_pYI/AAAAAAAAAIY/ewyy1haE3wc/s320/P2050111.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299306120169366914" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Non so se il video rende... ma insomma all'improvviso si apre tutta la vista sulla città ed è bellissimo! Arrivati in cima e superato indenni l'ennesimo centro commerciale, si sale su una terrazza panoramica giustamente famosa per la vista. E ti rendi conto che Hong Kong in fondo non è grande come sembra, e che è una strana metropoli che ha mangiato terreno a tutta la vegetazione tropicale che la circonda, con colline lussureggianti e anche molti falconi che hanno il nido in questa boscaglia e volano in ampie volute sopra i grattacieli.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

Tajo!*</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oggi ho preso il coraggio a due mani e ci ho dato un taglio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ebbene sì, mi sono decisa a provare una parrucchiera hong-konghese!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Prima di tutto mi sono posta il dilemma: spendere poco e andare da una qualsiasi che magari non ha mai tagliato capelli occidentali, e accontentarmi del risultato... o spendere una cifra offensiva e andare da una catena tipo Toni &amp;amp; Guy per cascare in piedi?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alla fine ho scelto la via di mezzo: spendere tanto per gli standard locali (cioè circa la metà di quanto si spende in italia) e andare in un salone abituato a trattare con i capricciosi capelli occidentali.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

Appena sono arrivata mi hanno fatto parlare con una "stylist" che ha capito i miei gravissimi problemi esistenziali e mi ha proposto la soluzione: trattamento lisciante definitivo + maschera + taglio. Ok ci sto!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le cose più belle di quest'esperienza:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- La signora del tè e dei giornali: potevi prendere tutto il tè (o caffè) che volevi, scegliendo tra diverse varietà, e appena finivi i giornali te ne portava di nuovi. Tutto incluso nel prezzo...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- Le poltroncine al lavateste, o meglio: le sdraio! Ti lavano i capelli mentre stai distesa su queste specie di chaise-longues imbottite comodissime, e mentre ti lavano già che ci sono ti fanno un massaggino al collo e... alle orecchie! Giuro!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- La specie di UFO che mi ronzava in testa mentre mi lasciavano agire il trattamento lisciante... non ho capito se serviva a qualcosa o se era solo per far scena ma era fichissimo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-1e3e681a9fd5f683" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D1e3e681a9fd5f683%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D362315301D81DBDF3CE5B8E2E6E102482F3A9D6.14E54525A41D918F5D34C17812AF20F882F70FF5%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D1e3e681a9fd5f683%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DOVCpH4yHhAKIsWa5yFyUSqoTg88&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D1e3e681a9fd5f683%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330459075%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D362315301D81DBDF3CE5B8E2E6E102482F3A9D6.14E54525A41D918F5D34C17812AF20F882F70FF5%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D1e3e681a9fd5f683%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DOVCpH4yHhAKIsWa5yFyUSqoTg88&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;- La pressione dell'acqua al lavaggio: praticamente ti perforava il cranio... favoloso, mi ha riattivato la circolazione del cervello! (C'è, c'è...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Insomma, ho passato qualcosa come 4 ore dalla parrucchiera, cosa che non mi capitava dai bei tempi andati della mia bionditudine, ma sono state piacevolissime e rilassanti. Avevo tre persone che seguivano solo me, uno a tagliare (un tipo assurdo con un ciuffone rosso-viola che tagliava con stoccate veloci e precise da artista pazzo), una ragazza a fare i trattamenti che voleva migliorare l'inglese e ha trovato in me una cavia, e un ragazzino silenziosissimo per lavaggio e asciugature intermedie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'importante è che alla fine sono soddisfatta di cosa è uscito! E soprattutto, se non mi hanno ignobilmente fregata, i miei capelli da oggi in poi dovrebbero stare buoni, fermi, lisci... e non risentire di questo clima ostile!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYg7tkmns1I/AAAAAAAAAGw/6sw67NgS8lE/s320/P2030072.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298550615707202386" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYg7tiCoI-I/AAAAAAAAAG4/Gt6jZ5YXm8o/s320/P2030080.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298550615019365346" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Vi terrò aggiornati su questo fondamentale, interessantissimo argomento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;*Che tajo!= espressione romana per situazioni particolarmente divertenti, ma io ho fatto il gioco di parole!

Ma la cosa bella del posto, a parte i ristoranti, erano i mille negozietti chiaramente rivolti ai locali, più che altro di abbigliamento economico e roba per la casa, i vicoletti e gli anziani che giocavano a mahjong in qualche portone, o contrattavano il prezzo di una stufa scassata da un rigattiere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWLxPnD8QI/AAAAAAAAAEg/j26S9NR3urU/s320/P2010005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297794214791475458" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWLxS6TVwI/AAAAAAAAAEo/l_YZIlBNrT4/s320/P2010006.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297794215677482754" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWLxtHd6vI/AAAAAAAAAEw/20TlWtoMM4U/s320/P2010009.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297794222712023794" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWLx5uOHBI/AAAAAAAAAE4/0wOiGsSLasw/s320/P2010012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297794226095791122" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYaM3c7fjHI/AAAAAAAAAGY/43XoYj9wMXE/s320/P2010013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298076895934385266" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dopo pranzo ci siamo diretti verso il tempio di Hau Wong: costruito nel '700, ma dà l'impressione di essere stato pesantemente restaurato e da fuori ha un'aria un po' finta... dentro invece c'era un bassorilievo in legno, con vari Buddha e draghi, molto bello (non si potevano fare foto all'interno). Il tempio è stato completamente inglobato dai grattacieli, di cui uno orrendo in costruzione appollaiato proprio sopra... ma all'interno ci si dimentica di questa invadenza di cemento, nel cortiletto c'è tranquillità e affisse a una bacheca tutte le schedine dei fedeli con i loro voti e desideri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWN0UFPWnI/AAAAAAAAAFI/us1_KfBjSrY/s320/P2010003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297796466554657394" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWN0oZ6ZPI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/8bENVF8uTxs/s320/P2010014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297796472010073330" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWN05M6VgI/AAAAAAAAAFY/Njgb_1KrDzA/s320/P2010015.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297796476518946306" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWN03816PI/AAAAAAAAAFg/agqvJefDMEA/s320/P2010016.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297796476183111922" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWN1OCqOdI/AAAAAAAAAFo/U6CMg63OnSo/s320/P2010018.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297796482113092050" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dal tempio di Hau Wong ci siamo fatti una bella camminata e abbiamo preso la metro per un tratto fino ad arrivare ad un altro tempio, uno dei più importanti di Hong Kong: Wong Tai Sin. E' dedicato a una divinità molto seguita a livello popolare, un pastorello guaritore, che si crede porti particolarmente fortuna nelle questioni di denaro e ai giocatori d'azzardo. Purtroppo il tempio era chiuso per restauro, ma in compenso erano aperte le gallerie con oltre 150 baracchini che circondano il complesso, con gli indovini che leggono il futuro nelle mani, piedi, e linee del volto. C'era anche qualcuno che consultava l'oracolo: c'è un bicchierone con tanti bastoncini di bambù dentro, si scuote tenendolo con due mani e alla fine ne casca uno, su cui c'è il responso alla domanda formulata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWSMORxsNI/AAAAAAAAAGA/M2taIXFB-pw/s320/P2010030.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297801275359998162" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWSLkQOdBI/AAAAAAAAAFw/thTFerJrF_8/s320/P2010027.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297801264079205394" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWSL_Q_dWI/AAAAAAAAAF4/NtM72ZG-GmU/s320/P2010029.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297801271330174306" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E per oggi questo è quanto! :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWW7s6aUMI/AAAAAAAAAGI/L6zMbhsPCzc/s320/P2010024.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297806489083859138" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1895714560792507228-6982374051243255805?l=ongicongi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ongicongi.blogspot.com/feeds/6982374051243255805/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ongicongi.blogspot.com/2009/02/kowloon-city-walk.html#comment-form' title='9 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1895714560792507228/posts/default/6982374051243255805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1895714560792507228/posts/default/6982374051243255805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ongicongi.blogspot.com/2009/02/kowloon-city-walk.html' title='Kowloon City Walk'/><author><name>Ariko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15815706328127216622</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYQJ6i4nCeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/l1xArMzmnvw/S220/curre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYWLxPnD8QI/AAAAAAAAAEg/j26S9NR3urU/s72-c/P2010005.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895714560792507228.post-3511094051401971445</id><published>2009-02-01T10:50:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T13:31:44.585+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cinese'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chinese language'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hong Kong'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chinese for Dummies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mandarino'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mandarin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='corso'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lingua'/><title type='text'>Lingua cinese e capelli</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYURBjSwi1I/AAAAAAAAAEY/n_ByIL6by2s/s1600-h/%7B693CBFBA-4DA3-4F3B-B8FE-4A7E4DB08CEF%7DImg100.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYURBjSwi1I/AAAAAAAAAEY/n_ByIL6by2s/s320/%7B693CBFBA-4DA3-4F3B-B8FE-4A7E4DB08CEF%7DImg100.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297659255022717778" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ho comprato un corso di cinese in libro + DVD.&lt;div&gt;Si chiama "Chinese for Dummies" e mi sembrava appropriato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Solo che probabilmente mi ci voleva il corso "Chinese for Super Ultra Dummies" perchè a pagina 3 già mi scoraggio. Intanto apprendo una cosa meravigliosa: il cinese mandarino è quello convenzionalmente adottato come cinese ufficiale, ma esistono diecimiiiila dialetti diversi, caratteristici delle specifiche zone della Cina, ognuno dei quali incomprensibile all'altro... un po' come in sardo insomma :D &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Allora mi sono chiesta: e come cacchio hanno fatto i cinesi a comunicare tra loro per millenni? Risposta: con la lingua scritta. Praticamente, se un cantonese e un pechinese in autobus leggono lo stesso giornale a voce alta, non si capiscono, ma se lo leggono nella loro testa, leggono lo stesso articolo. Geniale! In pratica se ho capito bene la lingua scritta è comune per tutti però ad esempio un ideogramma che il cantonese legge "pi" il pechinese lo legge "bo", anche se vogliono dire la stessa cosa. (Pi e Bo non vogliono dire niente. Credo.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Poi tanto per semplificare il tutto ci sono i toni. Cioè: la stessa parola letta con tono normale, ascendente, discendente o un altro che non mi ricordo assume un significato diverso. MA vuol dire "mamma" con un certo tono e "cavallo" con un altro. Rischi di chiamare cavallo tua madre se non stai attento. O peggio, dire a qualcuno: "assomigli tutto al tuo cavallo!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Quindi, il cinese è il mio primo motivo di frustrazione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Il secondo sono i capelli.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In questo clima, che non mi sembra neanche così terribile come dicevano (per ora) l'unica cosa incontrollabile sono le mie già docilissime chiome. Passano da crespo elettrificato a unto nel giro di un giorno. E non c'è verso di tenere i capelli lisci! Profonda invidia per le cinesine... urge taglio radicale!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ok, scusate il post assolutamente inutile ma mi dovevo sfogare!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1895714560792507228-3511094051401971445?l=ongicongi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ongicongi.blogspot.com/feeds/3511094051401971445/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ongicongi.blogspot.com/2009/02/lingua-cinese-e-capelli.html#comment-form' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1895714560792507228/posts/default/3511094051401971445'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1895714560792507228/posts/default/3511094051401971445'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ongicongi.blogspot.com/2009/02/lingua-cinese-e-capelli.html' title='Lingua cinese e capelli'/><author><name>Ariko</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15815706328127216622</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYQJ6i4nCeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/l1xArMzmnvw/S220/curre.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYURBjSwi1I/AAAAAAAAAEY/n_ByIL6by2s/s72-c/%7B693CBFBA-4DA3-4F3B-B8FE-4A7E4DB08CEF%7DImg100.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895714560792507228.post-386990526427808453</id><published>2009-01-31T20:33:00.021+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T13:34:00.714+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='North Point'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HKUST'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hong Kong'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lanterne'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='supermarket'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fireworks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cibo cinese'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='capodanno'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chinese food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clearwater Bay'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Victoria Harbour'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fuochi d&apos;artificio'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='new year'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='supermercato'/><title type='text'>First Days</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A grande richiesta, finalmente parte questo blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lo scopo è solo quello di tenere aggiornati parenti e amici sulle mie (nostre) avventure quaggiù dall'altra parte del mondo: mi sembra più sensato scrivere tutto qui piuttosto che intasarvi la posta di email con allegati pesantissimi!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per chi si ritrovasse per caso su questa pagina, io sono Arianna, fashion designer in cerca di fortuna nelle terre lontane, e sono qui con Tommaso, visiting student in un MBA di un'università del posto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Che dire?

Siccome si entra nell'anno del Bue, ci sono immagini del bue ovunque, insieme a simboli di ricchezza e prosperità. Il secondo giorno del capodanno (ovvero il nostro secondo giorno qui) ci sono stati i fuochi d'artificio a Victoria Harbour... mezz'ora di fuochi stratosferici, tipo 50 al secondo, perfettamente coordinati, altissimi, enormi... uno spettacolo!! Siamo riusciti a vederli da dietro i palazzi perchè arrivare al mare era impossibile, la gente si accalcava da ore...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La stessa sera abbiamo fatto la nostra prima vera e propria cena cinese, in un localino più simile a un corridoio, affollatissimo, dove camerieri vocianti ci hanno messo a sedere in un tavolo con altre persone e ci hanno servito piatti semplici e gustosi: una zuppa con spaghetti, verdure e ravioli di gamberi freschi e un piatto di tagliolini di riso con carne di maiale e verdure. Con 12 Euro in 2.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRXx_UoqtI/AAAAAAAAABQ/CDwmVfZR0u4/s320/P1272289.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297455578017737426" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRdRuN9MfI/AAAAAAAAAB4/Wrj2T-L-2S8/s320/P1262275.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297461620740272626" /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRdR8C4OaI/AAAAAAAAACA/EgflR77ZGxI/s320/P1272302.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297461624451905954" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRdR1Un5CI/AAAAAAAAACI/xc-OJd7fvgM/s320/P1272300.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297461622647284770" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una delle prime cose che abbiamo fatto una volta sistemati è stata l'immancabile spesa al supermercato. Un'esperienza! Non solo abbiamo trovato tutto il necessario a due poveri italiani viziati (olio d'oliva, pasta, caffè...) ma ci siamo divertiti un mondo a curiosare tra gli scaffali dei prodotti locali... per scoprire che c'è un'ottima scelta di frutta e verdura, la carne e il pesce costano molto ma molto meno che in Italia e sono buonissimi, nel reparto surgelati si trovano praticamente solo ravioli di ogni forma, dimensione e gusto mentre non esistono minestroni in busta e patatine surgelate... e al banco del pesce fresco si possono comprare anche rane vive (in realtà più simili a grossi rospi, che stanno lì fermi a guardarti da dietro il vetro...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRdRWVuFxI/AAAAAAAAABw/I7vzkuVukBk/s320/P1262271.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297461614330386194" /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRZ9TbLcXI/AAAAAAAAABY/2g7FirfPAtw/s320/P1282313.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297457971415708018" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRZ9k2tH9I/AAAAAAAAABg/GtFkIUkwaBU/s320/P1282315.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297457976094564306" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un'altra delle cose da fare in questi primi giorni era andare all'università di Tommi per effettuare la registrazione ufficiale ai corsi. L'università è a Clearwater Bay, in un'area periferica rispetto alla città, immersa nel verde e in un contesto naturalistico che lascia senza fiato. L'abbiamo raggiunta con facilità grazie a due caratteristiche di questa città: l'efficienza dei mezzi e la gentilezza delle persone. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una parentesi su questo. La metropolitana di Hong Kong mi era stata descritta come "commovente" da un'italiana che abita qui da anni: ed effettivamente è pulita, efficiente, le linee hanno coincidenze programmate così bene che scendi dal tuo treno e subito di fronte ti trovi il binario con il treno che dovrai prendere, senza fare dieci km a piedi sottoterra per intersecare la linea giusta nella direzione giusta. Il biglietto si fa alle macchinette, toccando la fermata di destinazione su una mappa, e immettendo il totale richiesto (che cambia a seconda di quante fermate si fanno) oppure comprando la Octopus card, una carta magnetica ricaricabile che oltre per pagare i biglietti della metro si può usare in un sacco di negozi per fare acquisti (alle casse c'è sempre il lettore magnetico apposta, dove appoggiare la carta per pagare).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per quanto riguarda le persone, sono tutti estremamente civili, pazienti e disponibili. Non trovando la fermata del bus che ci serviva, abbiamo chiesto aiuto a una signora mostrandole un bigliettino con la nostra destinazione: ci ha accompagnato personalmente alla fermata, che non era per niente vicina e non le veniva di strada, ha chiesto per noi indicazioni in cinese e alla fine ci ha lasciati a destinazione con un sorriso. Un angelo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tornando all'università: le foto parlano da sole...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRnNsfqtlI/AAAAAAAAACQ/OirjPSN0Nwk/s320/P1290003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297472546674488914" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRnN2b5PLI/AAAAAAAAACY/Hk528vOKnUg/s320/P1290005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297472549343018162" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRnOGKjQGI/AAAAAAAAACo/8BotXbT5xZs/s320/P1290016.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297472553565241442" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRvmR-P0RI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/jRpgTbBN4jQ/s320/P1290006.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297481765144744210" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRnOFCQWTI/AAAAAAAAACg/bwK2Bo-3SyE/s320/P1290015.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297472553262012722" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un altro genere di panorama, ma comunque suggestivo, quello che abbiamo visto da Tsim Sha Tsui guardando verso l'isola di Hong Kong, in un pomeriggio di sole. C'era un'esposizione di lanterne, che vengono fatte in questo periodo dell'anno sempre nell'ambito del capodanno. Siamo rimasti in giro abbastanza a lungo per vedere lo spettacolo che ha luogo tutte le sere alle 8: dai grattacieli partono fasci di luce, raggi laser, luci colorate intermittenti, e tutto lo skyline partecipa a questo spettacolo a tempo di musica!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRrvaOMCVI/AAAAAAAAADo/WAdjEAUSjZs/s320/P1300014.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297477523931400530" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRsz5zT7nI/AAAAAAAAAEA/oS-5Dvew9GI/s320/P1300005.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297478700639710834" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRs0P0ARZI/AAAAAAAAAEI/tgyeP19QE-k/s320/P1300019.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297478706548196754" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRrv4AmEHI/AAAAAAAAADw/Q8u59-IP6nE/s320/P1300020.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297477531927449714" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7Xn3PY-Bl74/SYRpfr6YyHI/AAAAAAAAADQ/fVK_BhSIJZo/s320/P1300024.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297475054779025522" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le cose da vedere e da fare sono ancora tantissime, ma abbiamo quattro mesi per riuscirci!
