What I don't have photos of...

...breathing diesel fumes by the side of the road, waiting for the bus while Dash screams in the ergo and Millie whines for more snack

...buying groceries that I don't really understand or know how to cook

...learning how to say the name of our street in Cantonese from a cab driver, who was quite a good teacher. I ended up writing it phonetically on a piece of paper I keep in my wallet, so now I can say "din hay dough" and the drivers know where to go

... frantically re-reading Hong Kong with Kids making sure I didn't miss a place to take them where they can play besides the laundry room of our building

  1. I was feeling a bit badly for you when I read this. Sounds like a struggle - exhausting. Then I saw the photos of your Mother's Day beach expedition. I don't feel bad for you anymore. Stop whining and go to the beach...everyday!

  2. Stop whining... who's the tough love friend? It's the 1st time that I have read your blog... Jules sent it to me. I love it. I can remember the 3 days we spent in Beijing and 3 days was enough of chinese food. Hopefully, they have a Chinese/Expat version of Zaggat to help you through the maze.- Monique
