Hein-Hoyer-Straße
Some of you may recall that more than a year ago, I posted a photo of my late father's business card records, one of which is of a Chinese restaurant in Hamburg called China Restaurant Lau at Hein-Hoyer-Strasse 3 (see photo-comment below). My father himself visited Hamburg in the 1970s. He and Mr. Lau were friends for many years and when I was a kid, I remember Mr. Lau visiting Hong Kong every several years and dad would always meet up with him, bringing me along.
Hearing tales from Hamburg probably made me curious enough to follow my dad's footsteps over 40 years later!
Both Mr. Lau and my dad passed away some years ago, so I didn't go in to inquire. I highly doubted that Mr. Lau's children still own this little restaurant. Like many 2nd-generation immigrants, likely they became professionals.
This area is Reeperbahn, Hamburg's famous (or infamous) red-light district. Yep, it's a bit seedy here!
