After 18 months away from Asia, I finally headed back. Back in the saddle!

Hong Kong holds deep and special memories for me. It was the first place I landed in Asia, touching-down on the way to Taiwan for the first time, it was the first ‘foreign’ place I went to after arriving on the island, it was a weekend transit hub for many of my trips to China,…

Since last weekend was Yuyin’s birthday, she was already in Hong Kong on business, and I had 12,500 air miles from Cathay Pacific gifted to me (a trip to HK needs 15,000), the stars aligned and I jumped at the chance to have a weekend away from Taipei. We have both been to HK multiple…

A bit late in the writing, but who cares – this year was another HK mission to seek out the new year in style. Flying back from the UK, I popped my head round the door for about 18 hours, before heading back to Taiwan. Lots of fun! We chose the rather amazing Magnolia as…

Congratulations to Michael & Tanja! Newest Mum & Dad in Hong Kong! Massively proud, and delighted to be able to drop-in on you before the big day … but not the most punctual baby in the world, might I add? See all of you soon! There is probably a rule about pregnant ladies not being…

http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649 I have quite some photography and writing to catch up on, but for good reason; it’s been super busy here for the last month or so, and I have barely had time to unpack. In between landing from the UK, and spending time in Shanghai and Kunshan, I managed a diversion on the way…

The Hong Kong Sevens – carnival of the Rugby world – landed in Hong Kong the same weekend as me, but I managed to assemble my own team to compete with anything they had to offer. As is customary when I visit Hong Kong, I seem to gather an improbable number of friends and family…

After a taxing week in Shanghai on business, I busted down on a whim to visit Tanja and Michael in Hong Kong, who had moved a few days earlier. A perfect blend of hanging out on boats, swigging beer, munching great food and generally catching up, I look forward to the coming months and having…
