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.

Contacting whanau...again


More about the 'contacting whanau' subject. I've bought myself a 4 band phone and now I'll only have to get a chinese sim card. Another bonus that is happening with vodafone which is $2 for 60 minutes. I will be able to give my whanau the landline phone number (where I'll be staying) and they can ring me and speak for 60 minutes costing $2 NZD. With a Hotmail account you could start a MSN where you can type messages to each other in real time. Or perhaps you could email. Then there is Twitter. I've even found out that there is a 'translater application' for an IPOD I must look into this, although I won't need, because there's a translator link on google. Here is another link that gives more information about Chinese prefixes etc when ringing to and from China.
