As long as the accommodation is near a gare (ie. train station), moving around is not a problem.

Hi Chamonix,

Sorry, it's me again. And with more questions.
I checked the internet that B&B Paris Malakoff is about 40mins away from Eiffel Tower is you take the metrol. Is this the amount of time needed, as you could recall ? I just want to be certain.

i think 40mins to 50mins is quite normal.
We take around the same time from la defense to eiffel tower as well.

Hi ALL,

The June long break is coming. Plan to enroll my gal, 28 months, to a Holiday program where she can learn something.

Any recommendation in the WEST area?? :?

Preschoolers generally don't follow school terms, so why do you want to wait for the June holidays before you start?

Hi, my gal is in Pre Nursary in Galilee Kindergarden. They follow school term.


So since she is used to going for 3 hours class everyday, will not like to change her routine. Concern she may not be used to going school after the long break.

OIC. Well, it's still a bit early now, but you will start seeing lots of advertisements for holiday enrichment courses at the beginning of May. They are mainly \"crash courses\" for primary school kids. For pre-school Chinese, there are courses by providers such as http://www.yuquan.com.sg/course_prechinese.php who would compress their regular courses into intensive programmes where they complete a 8 or 10 week course in 5 to 10 days.

Oh, Guess I too KS... :oops:


I have only a gal, so alot of things have to learn from the mommies and daddies here.

Though I may seem not so active in the forum, I am following up on the topics discussed almost everyday.

This is really a good site where a lot of helpful parents are gathered virtually to give support and advise on parenting. This make us feel not so \"alone\".

Thanx for the good work!! :rahrah:

Hi,

We are going to Australia (by tour group) this coiming June holiday for 7D 6N with my two kids age 4+ and 7+. May I know what are the things that I should take note of as this is the time travelling oversea?

We are going to goldcoast, movie world, dream world, feed dolphin ,etc.

I think there will be a 1 day free n easy. Is there any where that we should not miss out and can go on that free n easy day?

Thks in advance.
