The Next Generation
Overheard during our Day 2 Chinese New Year dinner at Lentor. Jonathan – one of my nephews – staggered into the house real tired as he had a long day. His cousin, Isaac, quips: “Tired?” “Yea…” Jonathan mutters “I know

Day 4: Kyoto – Kiyomizu Temple
The road up to Kiyomizu Temple is stone-paved and is, accordingly to our guide books, regarded as a preservation district. There are numerous pottery shops, many of them offering similar types of wares and across the price range with many
Day 1: From Singapore to Kansai to Chisun Hotel Kobe
The overnight flight from Singapore to Osaka was uneventful. As soon as we’d taken off – this was about 1:20 AM – the lights dimmed, which was about the cue for passengers to get some sleep before the service crew
Hannah Points (Somewhere)
Pictures from the last weekend! We’ve been getting pretty good hit rates when asking Hannah to point to something. Here’s proof; from top left and moving clockwise: pointing to her nose, her ear, herself (belly button rather LOL), and finally

The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought in 1775 between the British Army and militia from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. The British Army with superior forces tried two times to run over Bunker Hill which had the
Bunker Hill Parade
I was a little upset at the weather on Saturday afternoon to have stopped me from completing The Freedom Trail. On the next day – Sunday – after visiting Trinity Church and I felt my feet could still handle an
Trinity Church
Boston’s Trinity Church was founded in 1733 and is coming to 280 years old, and is honored as one of the United States’ ten most significant buildings and a national historic landmark. The church is located at Copley Square and
Back Bay 2: Commonwealth Avenue
Continuing on Newbury Street eventually led to a cross intersection with Clarendon Street, and turning left and walking about about 75m led me to the First Baptist Church along Commonwealth Avenue. I didn’t notice it was a church initially until
