The last day in Hong Kong was a bit lonely after having so good fun with my sons and their girl friends,who already left early in that morning.I had tried to reach my very old friend Mr.Fraser Simpson but he supposed to arrive from U.K.the day after my departure.I went to look at HMV for some old American Jazzy music and did spend exactly HK$1000.for Julie London,Dick Haymes ,Jo Stafford.Paul Anka(his easy listening music)etc.before having some vine at the Holiday Inn Golden Mile Executive Lounge.There i had part time company ,when not busy.of Miss Sandy Yip.the most charming and very helpful young lady of 24,Guest Relations Officer,who in my opinion,took care of me during our stay as a special guest.
Vey best regards to her,who did not like to hear that this visit in Hong Kong was probably my last,as I there have been there for over 50 times.
I had a midnight flight to Bangkok,and saved some money sleeping on a bench or actunlly on two pairs of chairs at the airport for five hours before checking in to my flight to Yangon.
Here was waiting the best hotel I have been in a long time.I can recommend to anybody the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel,in a beautiful garden at lakeside with excellent and perfect friendly service.
So,the Tiger or actually a female one,a Tigress.I had yesterday nothing better to do,so I visited the zoo.There were many interesting things ,but the gage of two beautiful Bengali Tigers interested me especially.A couple I guess.They were laying in the shadow under a tree until I came to the fence.The male did not react at all but she jumped up very energic and came to me,a distance about 1.2 meters.Then,she put her whole body over two meters against the poles of the gage but having a very friendly look at me.The local people were starring at us.What was going on? Did she plan to have me as a present to her husband for lunch or did she want to have a new love?When I moved two meters she followed me and sat down when I stopped.This did go on and on.And more and more locals appeared to look this show .At least fifty people were there.But,I was her only interest .She did not care of those other people but followed me just as near as possible.Very tame and very loving,I guess.A beautiful romance with a such a beautiful animal.
Later that day,I met Frank 44 from Limburg,Germany who had travelled a lot in these countries but else where too,and I got some very good advices.Today before noon I visited on incredible Pagoda of Shwedagon,over 2500 years old partly at least. A fantastic experience of over 1000 Buddhas, tons of gold and jewels in a not so rich but quite happy country anyway. I do not like to have any political comments .it's not my business and I don't know local circumstances. I only know that the people here are very very nice and helpful.Tomorrow morning ,awful early I shall fly to Mandalay.
