We were invited to a Holiday Bazaar at the international school here in our city.  We were told it would be a fun day with lots of “familiar” things and people who speak English!  So we decided to take the 45 minute bus ride with the kiddos.  They did well – despite 1 local person telling me our children are “so dynamic!” — That is compared to the little asian boy who didn’t talk or move the whole ride It WAS a fun day though.  The kids played hard, we ate some yummy Mexican food, and spoke in English to other people that could actually understand! – ha. . . it’s the little things.
