We have been averaging 3-5 sunny (no rain) days/month for about the last 6 months. Seems like an extremely long (longer than usual) rainy period and it is supposed to go through June. Thankfully, we had 2 sunny days while the kids were off school for Labor Day! We took their class on a little […]
There was a skit in the local dialect at the children’s library this past weekend. It’s amazing that our kids can understand and are fluent in Mandarin and they also understand the local dialect. Kylie really speaks it the best. She has no accent whatever. It still cracks us up to hear her speak in […]
1-2. Cream Puff is our new kitty that we have had for about 3 months now. She brings a lot life with her. The kids love her! 3-5. Some of my favorite eats right now: handmade noodles in a tomato/egg broth, espresso and ice cream, and mangosteen! Soooo good! 6-7. Thing you see hanging off […]
I’m reading a book called Third Culture Kids that is really fascinating to me since I’m raising three “THIRD CULTURE KIDS” or “TCKs.” By definition a TCK is “a person who has spent a significant part of his or her developmental years outside the parents’ culture. The TCK frequently builds relationships to all of the […]
First off, I didn’t take these pictures. . . but it’s classic GL city during rainy season. It can make a beautiful picture, but everything is so so so wet.
My work visa is taken care of, but because of various complications David and the kids are still on the tourist visa. Hopefully that will get taken care of within the next few months though because visa runs every 60 days lost their “fun” about. . . 5 years ago. hahaha. This past trip, we […]
The kids school had a celebration for spring! Everyone wore traditional clothing, there was dragon dancing, games, tea, and some performances by each grade. Unfortunately Kylie wasn’t feeling well, so she and I stayed home. David took the boys though. Enjoy the pics!
This park is about 1 or 2 miles from our apartment and it has quite a high population of wild monkeys! They are super cute, especially all of the babies this time of year. . . It’s really fun to go walk through the park because of the monkeys – almost better than a zoo!
We love/prefer to be outdoors and climbing became a family activity after we moved to GL. It’s right out our backdoor and the kids can run, play, explore, and create secret hideouts for hours. The first picture is of the brothers climbing. Caden is on left and Colt is on the right. They are both […]
Teaching English is such an available opportunity here. Different people seriously ask.me.every.day. if I can teach their kids English. I think this desire here to learn a second language is awesome! I mean, I learned a little Spanish in high school, but these kids are learning English starting in preschool all the way through high […]
