We were in the Philippines and saw this man and wondered what he was doing, so asked, “What is this?” His reply was, ” Small business, Sir.” Here is a guy trying to feed his family by selling his wares on a 1980s BMX bike – puts things in perspective really for life back in New Zealand. Life is Good.
Little Harry adding to the McWilliams clan.
We visited Singapore after Cebu, Philippines. What a difference with the opulence. Here is the casino which has three sky scrapers and a boat on top!
Universal Studios in Singapore. The Transformers ride and the rollercoaster with a corkscrew and a cobra roll were simply amazing.
Some photos from our trip in the States earlier in the month.
The Washington Cathedral was closed when I was there last year due to their earthquake. In the centre of the purple circle is some rock from the moon.
Not a bad view from the top!

I was supposed to get my iPhone on Friday and at 3.10 p.m. get an email from Vodafone saying that they have exciting news that my phone will now be delivered Saturday at the earliest – not really exciting given I was told it was Friday.
So Saturday morning the courier goes to the wrong house, so I email Vodafone about how I might get my phone. Their response was interesting whereas their wonderful solution was to make it my problem by giving me the tracking number so I can locate my Iphone and then organise to get it. Here is my response … wonder what they’ll reply with.
Hi Abby

The Cemetery
The Alligator Swamp Tour
Not a bad way to start the year really. This was the sunrise on New Year’s Day at the Gulf of Mexico.
I got to drive this Ferrari around the track, though they limit you to about 200 km/h. This Ferrari takes 3.2 sec to reach a 100 km/h – makes the Aston at 4.7 sec seem a little “sluggish.”
I am in Bangkok for a workshop. Here are some pics.
The infamous water taxi.
Madame Tussauds – I could have smiled I guess.
I am in Washington at the moment and attended the Hershey Car Show. This is huge. Here is a selection of some of the cars.
