My good friend Rhonda who represents the Christchurch branch of the NZ Chinese Association suggested I check out a bit of NZ chinese history while I was down in Ashburton.
This is relevant to me as my grandparents came to NZ to work as market gardeners but this was based in Blenheim.
I was listening to this interview on national radio a month ago. I didn’t know the aviation museum existed.
And most of my plane buddies haven’t heard of this as well.
Personally I am more interested in Jets than biplanes and I had to see the Hawker Harrier jet.
So after collecting the rental car we rushed down to Ashburton, travelling on one of the most boring roads in NZ. Ironically I also travelled on one of the most beautiful roads in NZ travelling back to Christchurch-the Lewis Pass.

This is my 3rd visit to Inle lake. The scenery doesn’t change and nor do the people. That is why I like returning.
Please refer to my Blog 2018 for more info on Inle Lake.
One thing positive about Covid is that it may have put a stop to the over development of Inle lake with zillions of Hotels.
Plus the current uprising and having the military dictatorship also make me sad. The lovely and kind people definitely deserve better.
Over the next few months I will be populating this website with more images of Myanmar to show you what a great place it is and worth a visit in the future when possible.
