Participant Blogs

Standing at the end of yet another country I’m faced with something quite unfamiliar to me. I have no words to describe what’s in my heart and in my head. India was an unbelievable experience that I won’t ever be able to put into words. India is rich in colours, textures, smells, tastes and sights. We had the privilege to travel up to the mountains and I was amazed with the character and stories that the mountain scenes had to tell. Once again I stood in awe of how big God is! At the same time there’s a hopelessness and...

As I sit down at the computer I’m munching on a delicious Thai snack. I’m not quite sure what it is, but it’s deep fried and sugar coated which makes it divine! I’m motivated to dedicate this piece to Thai food… Though, that would compel me to write blogs dedicated to Thai people, Thai beaches, Thai culture, Thai markets, basically anything Thai. Yes, I love Thailand and I love everything about it!

Have you ever thought how disappointing it would be when you die – expecting to see God, go to Heaven and having eternal life but instead you go to hell? How bad would it be if you were convinced that what you believe was true, and it turned out not to be. How upset would you be if your Heaven turns out to be hell?

In one of Jack Johnson’s song he sings about news readers not even being sad when they report about someone who died. I agree with him. News readers show no compassion. I believe that some of the severity of a case is sometimes lost due to this. I have taken it upon myself so translate to you the situation in Myanmar.

During our tremendously blessed time in Phuket, we got the opportunity to visit a Tsunami Memorial. It was there that I for the very first time realised the magnitude of what happened. How many people were touched, how many lives were changed forever. How big is the Lord we serve that He has the power to allow a disaster like that to take place and yet have mercy on so many?

This blog is dedicated to all things beautiful, to pampering, to being a lady, to enjoying blessings from above and to all those we wish could've been here with us... From Phuket, Thailand I present to you Thy Thai Massage...

 

 

Upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur I was super excited to move on to Thailand... Not even a 14hour train ride would've been able to put me down... I wanted to visit Thailand because I wanted to see the beaches, I wanted to have Thai massages, I wanted to scube dive, I wanted to buy cheap clothes.

Waves... Waves are amazing; they are powerful, calming, beautiful, majestic! The sound of waves reaching the shore has a holiday feel to it, it calms the heart and feeds the soul. At the same time the haunting sound or crashing waves reminds of scary movies and lost lives. The ocean is powerful and awesome! Covering more than two thirds of the land it is much more than we could ever imagine and even today in our technologically advanced era surprises with secrets and mystery...

On route to our final Chinese town the man we met on the bus insisted we have to come meet his son. The son could apparently speak good English – if good English means being able to say “yes”, “no”, “thank you” and “no understand” this statement was very true.  As we enter the town – the man commands us to get off at the first robot.

 

First she just walked into our room... "Who do you think you are... Do Chinese people have no manners? And no, I do not feel like roller skating tonight! I'm lazy, by bed is warm and I seriously do not feel like trying to figure out what you say over loud music... These I have to admit were my thoughts when our funky Chinese friend came to fetch us for our roller skating date...
