This morning we woke to silence. “So what?” I hear you say. Silence is an eerily rare event near our place as we live next to a major freeway. Normally our Sunday mornings are full of the roar of ridiculously expensive sports cars hooning down the freeway well above the legal limit before the police … Continue reading
In what was once one of the seediest places on planet Earth. Yep – you heard me right! I’m talking about the Kowloon Walled City again. Believe it or not there is a pretty awesome bike track right next to the old gates of the Walled city ideal for kids. As I’ve mentioned previously, Kowloon … Continue reading
BB Guns. They’re a popular toy and a serious ‘sport’ here in Hong Kong and one that, despite not being REAL guns freak me out. Coming from a nation where owning a gun is incredibly rare unless you are a farmer or hunter the whole idea of guns puts me a little on edge, especially … Continue reading

Bethany and Mitchell also love golf, so what better to do during a busy weekend schedule than drive out to New Territories for a hit on one of the driving ranges. Mitchell … Continue reading
A glorious morning in the New Territories of Hong Kong looks like this: We jumped on a ferry with a group of families from Bethany’s school to have a Christmas Golf Party at Kau Sai Chau Golf Course. Located on an island not far from Sai Kung, the only way to get there is by ferry. … Continue reading
The Bledisloe Cup came to Hong Kong and this time I refused to miss out. This is the Superbowl of rugby union only played between Australia and New Zealand. The ultimate clash between arguably the two top teams in the world. Certainly the two most consistently good rugby union teams in the world. Bledisloe Cup … Continue reading
I love my footy. I love my rugby. Rugby Union that is. None of this league rubbish thank you very much! So imagine my delight when my darling husband came home with tickets to the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby. Getting tickets isn’t easy, but some of his mates at work were able to get some … Continue reading
