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.

I am truly grateful for such a wonderful Universe


Yes, we've only got a few more days and then we'll be off to China. My Mum and her friend, Lillian went this morning and should be in China tomorrow. They will be doing a shorter trip, visiting Shanghai and Suzhou, among other places. So cool, so my Mum will be there first. I am so happy for her. Another awesome happening is our fabulous Suk Anaru and Suk Reihari will be meeting us in Zhongshan, so that they can take us to our Gung's (and therefore our) village. They're so wonderful. Suk Reihari will be there for a couple of weeks and Suk Anaru will remain in China for a month. More wonderful happenings. I met a co-worker, Annie and after she heard that we were to be charged $2,500 NZD for a limo (mini van) to take us from Hong Kong to Zhongshan, she has arranged a mini van and driver for $391.00 NZD. Incredible. Another co-worker, Marg, lived in Hong Kong for three months and shared so much invaluable info with me about Hong Kong and how to batter and have fun. Marg also gave me her sister, Alicia's email address and she has given me such wonderful hints too. Furthermore, customers have given me huge amounts of information, and contact details of their loved ones as well. Thanks to Matua Gray, Linda and Rose and Bob, among others. Even my doctor had titbits of info, such as 'don't buy sacred rocks that are said to be from spiritual mountain-tops, because her Dad paid $100 NZD for a piece of plastic.' And finally, I went to visit my dear, dear cousin Willie tonight. He has been in hospital for 5 weeks with Leukaemia and although I wouldn't want anyone to have such a disease, he seems to be in better health than when I last saw him. As you can see by the photo, he is a truckie. I love him so much. So considering all of these wonderful things, I am so blessed. I am truly grateful for such a wonderful Universe
