Arrived in Fuzhou

Here I am! After a hectic time of arranging many things and saying goodbye to friends and family, I have arrived in Fuzhou.
I was happy after I made it through all formalities in Germany and in China. I brought quite a bit more luggage than I was actually allowed to take, for which the German airport staff might have made some trouble. Also, I had some items in my suitcase that I was not allowed to bring into China. And, it was not very clear whether the documents I had would be enough to make it through Chinese immigration. Luckily, I was not checked very thouroughly and got through without any problems. The first hurdle was taken.

At the airport at took a taxi to the Lakeside hotel, besides the famous Fuzhou West Lake. It's a very comfortable hotel on one the city's finest locations (to my opinion). Also the inside of the hotel is of a high standard. Here is an impression.









As I had stayed here several times before, everything was very familiar. I was happy to find out, that the bag I had left here for safe keeping, three weeks ago, was still there.

I checked into my room, called home to chat a bit with Shiqi and Mylène, then took out a book and went outside to enjoy the evening sun in the park beside the West Lake. All is fine!
