Very to the point.

"There is a sort of a culture war going on within the Christian community ... between those who believe that the heart of the Christian way ... is to continue the way of life pioneered by Jesus - inclusion, reconciliation, care for your neighbour, building a society good for everyone - against those who say it's about adherence to some rules that were laid down for another age."

Elisha's 4th Birthday!

Was it just not long ago Jonathan had his PJ Masks 4th birthday?

So it is so true when they say the days are long but the years are short. With a blink of an eye, Elisha turned 4! We are so blessed to have these two little ones. In those moments when I can see past the routines of daily life, there are enormous joy. "Living the moment" is so easy to say and preach, but so hard to practice. Well, practice, practice, practice!

Korea 2019

Sam's wedding, in the middle of Jonathan's first school holiday, provided an unique opportunity to take the kids for a proper long-haul flight. Even then, it was MEL to HKG first rather than MEL to ICN direct. 

We had a blast. Period. I have never came back from a holiday feeling so refreshed, that I truely wondered why I'm back at work. Never. The trip has all the feel good factor: kids first Korea trip, epic holiday with mother-in-law's side of family, throw in a wedding, it was perfect. 

In 2010, I truely thought HKIA is a far better airport than Incheon. Not anymore. 9 years is a long time and while little has changed in HK, the rest of the world, including the Koreans, have definitely up their game. The facilities are faultless - kids play area, food, space. Further, there is clearly an emerging, strong middle class in Korea. It is somewhat sad to see the contrast, in my opinion, a shrinking middle class and lack of social mobility in HK. 

Where are we going next?
