Why pick Albert for your outbound trip to China?
As a reward to my mom's courage to go through 2 TKAs (Total Knee Arthroplasty) within 2 years at the age close to 80, I started to travel with her at least once a year. So far, we have been to Spain, Germany, Australia, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. It might be God's plan to teach me all the skill sets in taking care of the elder citizens and keeping them active by travelling together.
In the tense geo political world today, China becomes a safe haven to go. It is my homeland. I studied my undergraduate in Beijing and worked in Shenzhen, Xiamen, and Shanghai some years ago. It plays to my strength to take Singapore senior residents to China, from north to south, from east to west, to catch up with this awakened giant.
