I’m standing here in the Singapore Changi International airport using their free Internet kiosk. The spacebar on this keyboard requires some serious punching to get to work. In less than an hour we fly to Manila (4 hr flight or so), where my aunt & uncle (who live there) will be picking us up from [...]

I realized that not all of you are clear as to why we’re here in Asia, and what we’re doing. We’re here on behalf of Wycliffe and The Seed Company to bring back photos & stories related to some specific projects they’re involved with (I’m not going to say much more specifics than that on [...]

Back in 1991, when the Peckhams had moved back to Asia after a furlough, they spent about 4 months living in Singapore. So, before we went to the Night Safari on Monday, we took some time to try and find their old apartment. We got some general directions from his parents and headed to the [...]

So far, although it’s been difficult “being our own boss” (i.e. figuring out when to work, when to rest, when to play, etc., since we can do it at just about any time we want), we’ve decided to take 2 break days, like a weekend, while working the other days. On Monday night, we went [...]

If you don’t have Google Earth, but do have a decent internet connection then get it now. It’s free, and runs on Windows or Mac. To say it lets you view satellite imagery from around the world is an understatement. Why get it now? Because if you download and open my Singapore Google Earth Placemark, [...]

I don’t have time to do anything fancy right now, but something is better than nothing, right? Taking off from LAX Katie marvels at the (real) orchids in the Singapore airport upon our arrival. Our view from the hotel room the first morning, showing part of the Singapore skyline. Us at the Singapore River this [...]

Katie’s back at our hotel exhausted, and I’m feeling about the same. Part of it could be jet lag, and a lot of it is treking all over town in the tropical heat (we still haven’t had any rain!). It’s also added to a slight feeling of loneliness for Katie, so pray for her right [...]
