day 179: [in the air] = 0km

I had to get up at 5am to make it to the airport on time.

My old shoes:

…suddenly faced early retirement. I didn’t miss them.

My first walk into the airplane and then out of the airplane today ended in Beijing:

Then I had to pick up my luggage to transfer to my second flight:

I had only taken some necessities in a plastic bag and left the rest with the hotel, since I was determined to continue walking in about a week or so.

Then I hopped on a shuttle bus from Terminal 2 to the new Terminal 3:

I remember lots of German newspaper articles claiming that this was to be one of the largest and most modern airports in the world:

I wandered around for a little bit:

And I thought they hadn’t been kidding:

It seemed like one massive and luxurious statement of China’s economic growth over the past one-and-a-half decades:

Much to my surprise, many of the personnel were actually able to speak some English and-

CHRIS, SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR AIRPORTS AND TELL US WHERE YOU WERE GOING! - AND WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ANYWAYS TAKING A BREAK FROM YOUR TRIP JUST LIKE THAT?!

Um…eh…

Well, the first thing I saw when I climbed out of the subway in München, Germany was this:

Then a beautiful young girl took my hand and led me to her place:

It was her that I had come here for.

The sun was shining and I was feeling very weird and very happy at the same time.

    Beneidenswert! München bei diesem Wetter und dieser Jahreszeit ist das beste, was man sich geben kann! Super Idee, zu zweit kann man es noch viel intensiver geniessen! Lass Dich nicht beirren, es ist Dein Leben, folge weiter Deiner Intuition! Erhol Dich gut, ich denk an Euch!

    I do have the feeling that we should give Christoph (and “her”) a bit of a holiday and privacy besides the blog …
