I know, I know...

I know I've been slack with posts lately, but it's pretty much because there is so much on my mind that I've given up trying to compartmentalise and have, as a result, have frozen.

Hong Kong culture catches up with you really quickly - an extreme case of materialism, liberalism and instant gratification. However, what I'm really interested in is WHY there are so many more sincere christians in Hong Kong than there are in Australia.

Christianity is a funny thing. You'd think, especially in a culture such as this, that less people would be inclined to spend time worshipping the Lord and His works, and instead focus on the things that define us as Asians. Posessions, good marks, honour, highest rank in the social ladder. It seems that the more we have, the less we really need... but it shows that people here need God a lot more than the people do back home, where everything is just comfortable and nice.

Just some food for thought.

I've enjoyed the cooler climate so far, but my itch hasn't actually gotten any better :(. Chances are, I won't get better before I go to Japan... no skiing for me, perhaps? EPIC SAD FACE.

Only time will tell.
