Hello world
Today is the day… at 1700 Local time we set sail for Singapore. Much to my horror I have been informed that we will lose our internet connection shortly after departing Taichung. Something about changing over to a Co-Pole LNB signal (for any of you who know what that means). So this is going to be my last post for the next week or so. Next time I chat to you I will be back home in Glorious South Africa.
Cheers
Pete
Today is a very proud day for South Africa.
The morning started out with the Tri Nations SA vs NZ game. After 80 intense and nail biting minutes, South Africa was victorious! It’s the first game in 100 years that SA beat NZ on that field and it’s only the fourth time that an international team has had the opportunity to beat them on said field.
The Score?
30 - 28
GO BOKKE!!
Hi All
It is birthday time again and today we celebrate the birthday of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. He was born on the 6th of July 1935 in a small village called Takster in Northern Tibet. When he was two years old he was recognized as the reincarnation of his predecessor.
Dalai Lamas are believed to be the manifestation of Buddha’s compassion as they chose rebirth in order to further serve Humanity. The words Dalai Lama mean "Oceans of Wisdom" and the local Tibetan people call His Holiness, "Yizhin Norbu" (The Wish Fulfilling Gem) or simply "Kundun" (The Presence).
Happy 73rd Birthday
