All dates are approximate - {my school schedule will be much more flexible during spring '96, which will be a great relief} April 22-26: Manila, Philippines One of my cousins is getting married. Sometime between the Manila and Bangkok trip (or possibly before the Manila trip), I intend to visit Chicago, to visit P. May 27-31: Bangkok, Thailand I'll be meeting my mother (possibly my father too, if he gets inspired) there. My mother is into orchids, so, she wants to get some orchids there. Don't ask me why Bangkok. I suppose they have good orchids??? Sometime between the Bangkok and Montreal trip, I intend to visit Timberline ski resort at Majestic Mount Hood to do some summer skiing! Sometime between the Bangkok and Montreal trip, I also intend to make a quick visit to Seattle, WA, US, to visit a bunch of friends. M, H, A, R, C, M, and J have all been asking when I'll visit them. So, I shall do so. As well, I need to say "Hi" to quite a few friends I am guilty of not having written or spoken to for the last few months. July 8-15: Montreal, Quebec, Canada My father is actively involved with the Lions Club, which will be having their 79th Int'l Convention. I'll be accompanying my parents over there. Sept 21-25: Boston, Massachusetts, USA The 17th Jujitsu America National Convention is something I can't miss. Wing Chun Do and Jujitsu America has always had a great relationship. So, Wing Chun Do instructors are always given VIP invitations to their conventions. James DeMile, my teacher, will be there. Given that I haven't gotten a chance to spend much time with him lately, this will be a great opportunity to do so. As well, some of my friends and Wing Chun Do brothers and sisters from all over the world will be attending. June 12-16, 1997: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA I was invited to Professor Wally Jay's 80th birthday banquet and Small Circle Jujitsu Summer Camp. Wally Jay is a legendary figure in the field of martial arts. A lot of the major martial artists from all over the world are going to be in attendance for this major event. This will be a great opportunity to talk and work out with them.
