Working with German

A German arrived at Guangzhou last night. He left home Monday morning in Germany, took a local train for 30 minutes to next town, switch to a train to Frankfurt which is a two hour trip. He then got on a flight of Qadar Airways on 15:20 and landed at Doha 22:25 local time. The connecting flight was supposed to take off at 00:50 which is 2.5 hours later, but was delayed for 4 hours with no reason announced. His plane finally landed at Hong Kong at 18:13 local time, but all trains he planned to take to Guangzhou were already gone. I searched the web and found that there are coaches directly from the airport to Guangzhou. He managed to find one and was on his way at 19:15, but we have no idea where the bus will stop in Guangzhou. We asked him to let us speak to the driver on the phone, and finally got him to the hotel at 10:45. It's already 30 hours since he left home.

The next morning, he showed up on time and was ready to work. No signs of fatigue or jet lag. He just had his 50th birthday last month, and decided to change his life style. Less beer and less sweets. He lost 5 kg in 6 weeks since he travelled to Tehran last month. By the way, his name is Walter and plays bass guitar in a rock band.
