Time for a much needed rest ...

It's Christmas Eve and I am sitting at the kitchen table at my parent's place in Adelaide and for the first time in a long time, I have nothing to do, which is absolute bliss. I arrived yesterday, after a brief turnaround in Tokyo from the 6 day school trip to Cambodia. It was a great success as the students fully engaged in all the activities and were a delight to watch as they worked with the local children. I hope that this is the first of many authentic service trips to this amazing country.

In early December, Mihoko and I had a weekend at one of the lakes at the base of Mt Fuji. The time out of the city was much appreciated and we were lucky to have a clear day to enjoy a bike ride.
We also stumbled across a traditional tonkatsu shop 
and enjoyed the delicious crumbed pork, fish and potato. 

  So now, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and safe travels, wherever you may be.
