Christmas in Bali is looking really good, even Hong Kong is freezing cold (about 10 degrees C). Ming and I jumped in the hot tub at the hotel and even it was cold! Fortunately there was a sauna to warm up in. It has been rainy, wet and windy so far.
Can't wait to get to Bali and the warm beaches and sunny days. It has been great visiting family here. The elders are getting older and really appreciate the visits. Bak Bak, elder uncle, is looking great! Last visit I thought he would not still be here but it looks like he may have beat the throat cancer that he had with his radiation treatment. He is looking fit and very happy now though perhaps still a little too thin. His bride is almost blind with what sounds like macular degeneration but her main complaint about life is that Uncle will not let her go out alone anymore, she says she can still hear and see the outlines of people, so she can get around fine on her own. These are resilient people! And so happy.
