New friendship can be built, information can be exchanged and perhaps survival tips for new arrivals and some oldtimer tales. But is has became a makan blog :) If you like to join us for a makan session for the CNY's Eve reunion dinner party this Sunday, please email me for details.<br />Cheers,<br />PhilUncle Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10612736094303055749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984217362893991380.post-32214698639853339822012-01-17T09:17:24.414+11:002012-01-17T09:17:24.414+11:00Uncle Phil, I have just arrived in Campsie 2 month...Uncle Phil, I have just arrived in Campsie 2 months ago.
