The retreat house was indeed very quiet. Despite that, I woke up very early in the morning to have breakfast. I saw the German lady I met last night and had a chat with her while the other retreatants extremely quietly ate their breakfast. I was actually quite impressed. It wasn’t just because they could … Continue reading Mission Impossible Prague 2012
Vienna, Austria. First thing first, dinner with a friend I met in Bhutan 😊. He took me to a popular restaurant in Vienna. The schnitzel was soooo good. I had never had such delicious and succulent schnitzel before. The sauce that came with it was perfect. I think it was a mixture of some berries. … Continue reading Vienna, Salzburg, Austria 2012
In 2012, I flew to the UK for the second time. Mileage! 😊 The first time I went there was in 2004 with my colleague whom I spent a few days with in London and Cambridge and then I went to Stonehenge. She wasn’t interested in rocks and she probably didn’t know the history and … Continue reading Spending Time With Friends In The UK
Yeah, I have been to Vietnam four times. Not that I loved it so much that I kept going there… it’s just that… I will explain it here. The first time I went there was with my colleague. She and I had some expiring mileage that was enough to get ourselves return tickets to Vietnam. … Continue reading Four Times To Vietnam
The sightseeing to Maasai Mara and Nakuru National Parks was finished. Now, it was time for us to do some real business. While we were absent, the lay missionary worked on her stuff and arranged our itinerary. She gave us a briefing and then took us to a church the next day after we returned … Continue reading The Touching And Life Changing Moment
After the Maasai Mara trip yesterday, the local tour drove us to another famous national park in Kenya, Nakuru National Park. It seems this Park is smaller than Maasai Mara and yet, it was still amazing! It is near a lake so the wildlife we saw was slightly different – we could see birds that … Continue reading The Amazing Nakuru National Park Kenya 2011
When you are in Africa, you have to go to their national parks to see the wildlife (or let the wildlife see you). This is a must-do in Africa. The lay missionary was so kind to have arranged a tour for us. She definitely knew where to find cheap deals. We were all very excited … Continue reading One Of The Seven Natural Wonders Of The World – Masai Mara, Kenya
It was indeed a mission. I went to Kenya with a group of people to visit a lay missionary in Nairobi to learn more about her missionary work in 2011. Prior to our visit, we all needed to attend a year’s programme to learn about the work of the disciples including St. Paul. The priest … Continue reading A Mission In Kenya 2011
I have always wanted to write another blog about Hong Kong. My last entry about Hong Kong was written around a year ago when I had an unpleasant conversation with some people who didn’t respect anyone at all. Over the past 1.5 years, having stuck in Hong Kong, I have been teaching online and face-to-face … Continue reading Face It, Accept It, Handle It, Let Go Of It
Xinjiang has been in the news for months in 2021 for whatever reason. I don’t want to mention it in my blog. The ‘issue’ will soon become history and we will know the truth in the future. Just a couple of weeks before I wrote this blog, I found this photo on LinkedIn: This is … Continue reading Xinjiang, Xinjiang 2011
