Hello All

First welcome to our new members. This is Bing by the way doing the Richter Report on behalf of Adam and Aileen. As most of you know Mama and I are here in England at the moment, been here 3wks. So far we’ve been to Venice, Rome, Barcelona and Stockholm. The highlights are seeing the Colloseum and attending Easter Sunday mass with the Pope. Mama was so thrilled when we got tickets to attend the mass and yup expect to receive rosaries when mama go back to Philippines hopefully May/June this year. We tried to contact Auntie Nonon but couldn’t find where she live. Thanks Te Virgiet for giving us her address.

In Stockholm we stayed with Thatel’s Auntie Aida (I believed she wore Mama’s wedding dress for her wedding). Te Aida and her husband Steffan welcomed us and was very hospitable and we hoped to return the favour when they finally visit Australia.

Mama and I spoke to Uncle Vic Calang also and can’t believe he is only 1 year older than me! We hope to see him before we depart on 8th May. Tomorrow we are going to Paris to spend the weekend then back to England again. One thing is for sure I’m definitely a warm weather girl - boy do I feel the cold! Adam and Aileen wear shirts and singlets at home while me and Ma have layers of clothing.

Mama did have reservations about coming here but now she’s glad she came. Well folks running out of time - using net cafe so have to cut this short. Hope everyone is enjoying themselves in Cebu especially having Uncle Lalu and family there and seeing Sam for the first time! Us too are yet to see Sam, hopefully soon.

Love you all
Adam, Aileen, Manay & Bing-bing
