Who says China is devoid of modern culture?! We had the chance to see The Lion King put on by the touring group based out of Australia. It was a fantastic show – all the costumes and action of Broadway. The best thing […]

From the previous posts, you can see that the family has been MIA. Well, not really. They went on vacation to the US to visit family. It has been one busy summer! After leaving Hong Kong at the end of June (yes, just in time to miss the move!), the girls made a […] |
