Hi Doc, Wow, I am amazed! You are speaking in tongues of my language (Cantonese)! I wonder if you are a Hong Kong citizen or your wife is. Did you live in Hong Kong before? OK, back to the subject: no, there is absolutely no restriction from the HK government on importing books or literature. The only limitation is the market demand here. Few weeks ago, I was trying to find the book "90 minutes in heaven" (also by John Piper? if I remember correctly) in a local book store - The Page One (so call sizable here, funny that they don't have a website as per my previous enquiry) which mainly sells English books. However, there wasn't a single copy exist. Therefore, I had to ask my friend in Canada to get me one when she comes back to HK next month. Nice talking to you, brother. God bless you and your family.

Dear Azure, I only know a few phrases in Cantonese and Manderin. Sometimes I get them mixed up! I work with people from all over the world. I always try to learn how to say a number of phrases in their native tongue. Swahili and Bengali are the most fun! For some reason I can't seem to remember French. If my memory were better, my vocabularly would exceed 10 words in each language! Frankly, I'm lucky to be able to handle English! :-) By showing people that you care enough about them to learn a few words in their own language presents opportunities to speak to them of Christ. In Him, Doc |
