This is, from right to left, Willy, Asker, Else and Mum. I’m not in the photo, but I think I was in Denmark with them at the time, only about 3 years old.

The next generation (Ying and I) returned to Denmark in 2001. We watched the Islamic attacks on the World Trade Center (sic) live from Else’s loungeroom.

Hopefully we’ll return to Denmark again sometime soon. We really miss the family, food, and Denmark generally. Most importantly, we want to show Asher.

*** UPDATE My Mum says this photo is from a few more years ago than 33 because of various clues she has picked up from the photo itself (i.e. the Christmas tree etc). More like 35.

Recognise this statue? The background isn’t what you were expecting? It’s a replica of the Little Mermaid, the original of which is situated in Denmark’s Copenhagen harbour, Churchill Park.

This one is in Shenzhen (深圳), China, where we holidayed sometime around 2003. It’s in a theme-park called Window of the World (世界之窗). There’s a replica of just about every major tourist attraction from around the world in this park. Thoroughly recommended.

If we return to Shenzhen again (and we hope to later this year - God willing) we will definitely visit Window of the World again.
