Me Time!

I personally find Chinese history and modern culture very fascinating. They have experienced so much change in the past three decades. It is a large and progressive society. I feel that there is a lot kids will gain from exposure to China; if for nothing, to understand what scale and market size mean. On this count, I am very grateful to my son's school for the very organic way students are exposed to PRC students in school through various programmes and hosting tons of exchange students - even how they name their secondary schools, what a typical high school day is like etc. (My son's friends are from schools like the (City name) High School Affiliated to the (City Name) Normal University etc.)


I just booked a Deepavali weekend chill trip on a China low cost carrier for the Deepavali weekend to Nanning. Would have preferred to visit Chengdu or Chongqing but unfortunately tickets are expensive now. Just take it as another China exploration trip. China is one of the few places where five star accommodation and food are relatively affordable
