Britexan: Catching Up

Well it's been a busy holiday season, so not much writing has been going on. But I will try to update on everything from November and December here.

First we had some visitors from Jolly Olde Englande, Nicky and Andy, who I managed to try and kill on their first day of their Asian Adventure. First thing in the morning, when they were still jet-lagged, I dragged them up the mountain to the Peak, the highest point in Hong Kong. Their reward? Snake for lunch.

But then we took them to our favourite casual restaurant in HK - Posto Pubblico - for a delicious meal of organic stuff. And then we took them to Maxim's for delicious dim sum. So hopefully that made up for it (despite the wait at Maxim's!).

After they left, Charlie was Special Person in his class. This is where each child gets to be 'Special Person' for a week, and they make a big poster about themselves, and the other children make a little book about them saying all the things they like about them. Charlie's main strengths seem to be an ability at math, eating all his lunch every day, and being nice.

I was off to the races with the American Women's Association, where we were taken on a tour of the Winner's Circle - a rare occurrence in HK.

IN the Winner's Circle!

Then I made the mistake of leaving my camera at home when James and I went out to dinner......

The kids had their Fusion performance...unfortunately I only have a couple of photos, as I got caught up in the performance!

Kate had her choir performances...she did alright for the one at school, but when they went to perform at a local shopping mall, she got stage fright and ended up in tears.
