Guest from Germany

Sightseeing/Sehenswuerdigkeiten

Gaeste aus Deutschland waren heute hier. War schoen ueber alte Zeiten zu reden und vom aktuellsten Klatsch zu erfahren. ;-) Das Wetter hat aber nicht mitgespielt, denn es war kalt und regnerisch.

Wir haben uns zuerst zum Dim Sum Mittagessen in Chinatown getroffen. Danach sind wir ein wenig durch die Gegend geschlendert, um nach Souvenirs zu schauen. Wenn man schon in Chinatown ist, darf ein Foto vor dem Chinatown Tor nicht fehlen. (Siehe obiges Bild) Wir haben uns im Ferry Building verabschiedet wo wir ein warmes Getraenk von Peet's genossen haben.
========================
I had some guests from good ol' Germany in town today. We met for a dim sum lunch at New Asia and then strolled around Chinatown for a bit of souvenir shopping. Then I tagged along when they went to buy tickets for the Christmas Carol musical. I learned something new from them because I didn't know you could buy tickets on the day of the show for half off. That's a good deal. Also, I took a ride in the Westin hotel's glass elevators, which afforded me a great overview of downtown. Since it was raining, we headed towards the Ferry Building in search of a Peet's, which I raved about in my little travel guide. Unfortunately it was raining the whole time so this was not exactly conducive to much sightseeing.

It was nice catching up with an old colleague as to the latest developments in Germany. Overall a good time was had by all. ;-)
