This is Kathrin and Andres. We stayed with them in Brussels, where they are living now. We met them when they were travelling in New Zealand.
They are safe, but we are very worried and sad for them, their friends and family.

On another trip, I tried out my Chinese Mandarin in a shop. The storekeeper congratulated me on my pronunciation, but I apologised, explaining that hello (Nī hāo), thank you (xiè xie) and good bye (zài jiàn) was all I knew. She smiled and said, "That's all you need".

Thank you for reading this blog. I sure have enjoyed writing it. So, until next time, terima kasih, dank u wel, au revoir and bless bless.
