Dina in Hong Kong




(Photo taken 16 years ago....when I was thinner)

It's been more than one and a half decades since we graduated in UK.  We were all so excited to know Dina, our Greek friend, would visit Hong Kong last week.  She came here to attend a conference on 'Environmental Education'.   It's so joyful to have a small re-union in Hong Kong after so many years!  We just can't imagine even her kid (at the front of the photo) is now 28!

Dina was lucky that the scene of the Hong Kong harbour was particularly gorgeous that evening when we walked along the star avenue after dinner. It may due to the showers the week before she came.  In fact, I haven't seen any stars in the Hong Kong sky for a long time.


When she passed by a bus stop, she saw a very interesting poster showing on one side some white houses in Santorini with the caption 'a dream far away...' ;  and on the other side another picture showing a resort in China with the caption 'a reality closeby...'.   But for her, that's the other way round: Santorini is just so close! 









Thanks Dina, because you have brought us lots of sweet memories...   Dina will fly back to Greece on Sunday.  I'll miss you and all our sweet dreams long time ago...

  2. O, 人生苦短, 最重要是認真活過, 此生無憾呀!  你現在的相片看來有點傷感, 還是喜歡之前較有活力和朝氣的一幅.  如果Jude也是Christain, 你也應為她高興啊!

  3. Dina's remarks after her return to Greece: iDear all , we have arrived in Greece after a 24 hour trip full of nice memories from your country. Thanks to Funghi whi is the only one among us spending valuable time to keep in contact with all , we had that wonderfull reunion that brought so nice memories. My daughter Anastasia enjoyed also very much the time we had together. We separated so suddenly last night after Dina trying to catch the bus...;but i think this was the best way to avoid all these feelings of getting appart.with very little possibility to meet again.... Your country and your people were realy a surprise to me; We did enjoyed every single minute. Anastasia , when talking to friends she does not do but very positive criticism. Everything in the conference was so well organised and the people were so friendly.... I wish we will meet again (why not?) in Sandorini or in Edinburgh, Thank  you once again
