Visitors are coming... all at the same time!

Our "peaceful" time in our appartment is soon to end: In the beginning of March we'll have five (!) people staying here with us, namely Anna, Vanessa, Cornelia, Catherine and Jeff. It's all happening at once, but that's life. We'll all go on a river cruise on the Jangtze River, to see the Three Gorges while we still can. As some of you might know, they are building the biggest dam the world has ever seen there, and then there won't be any more river cruises. So we carpe diem it ("carpe diem" is actually used as a verb in NZ for "let's do it now before it's too late").

Before that, we have Ivano here to spend the Chinese New Year together and then travel on to Macau and Hong Kong. Lee's Mum sent us a travel set of "Scrabble", so there will be lots to do :). Will be a blast, eh, Ivano?

In May, and luckily not in March, Giz and Jan have promised to come and visit us here. They are on a one year trip and it will be great to both catch up and hear about their adventures.

Hotel Lee and Johanna :)

I'm glad I'm the first. I don't want to induce any Colosseum type moments with you guys (remember them, Johanna?)

And I appreciate all the work you've done to accommodate me.

Who knows - it might be worth it for you guys, but I won't hold my breath :) On the other hand I'm sure I'm going to have a blast.

Now I need to pack a few kilos of green lentils and a huge selection of soup mixes including some of questionable types (eel and mango...that can't be right...?)

Ciao

PS See you guys on Friday!
