Kei te mihi nunui ki a koutou katoa. Welcome to our blog.

This blog was created to help us all with our travel to and throughout China, and then home again.

It is about us going back to where our grandfather was from and therefore finding ourselves. (See the 'about me' section at the bottom of the page.) For those who don't know about 'blogs.' It's pretty simple, you can just read them and/or you can add comments if you want to. The first one is usually at the bottom and the most recent addition is at the top of the page. Then of course, you might want to learn to speak a few Cantonese words or play with the kitten in the side bar. I will be adding more things as time goes on.

Have fun, visit this page, join in and I hope that some of the hints will be helpful.

The Ahi Kaa - Those that will keep the home fires burning.







Before I go on, I thought that I would mention those of my sisters and (female) cousins that could not come on our journey, for various reasons. There was 'Lin' and 'Rose' (both with nick names better not mentioned if I want to continue to breath) :) and finally Ange, who doesn't have a nick name. All of our brothers and male cousins and partners thought better of it and decided to leave well enough alone and not come with us. Wise move. :) And someone(s) have to stay home and look after the whare(s) and work to pay the bills. :) I'm sure they all will go at another time.
My Mum was seeing to her health, Uncle Jock lived in Aust and My Lovely Uncle Windy who is no longer with us were all not coming. Uncle Windy was a mechanic by trade (or that's what I remember him doing, fixing cars) He couldn't read, however, that didn't mean that he was dumb, he was always kind to me. I remember Uncle Windy cooking and working in the kitchen at hui or drinking. I loved him heaps. I intend on taking some photos of him and my late brother (Karl Yung) and sister Susan (Suzhou) to China with us. RIP Uncle Windy Lum (d) 1986. Karlie (d) 1980; Suez (d) 1986.
