China Has Become Singapore!
Well, the little House Gascoins have happily adopted their new country, as can be seen from the patriotic flag-waving (it's National Day here on Sunday and flags are infesting every non-moving object at the moment). We are squatting in serviced apartments until our apartment is ready in a couple of weeks...Kevin has started school, and I am exploring with the kids and trying to find iron grille manufacturers to childproof our new 9th floor balcony. Had a wonderful time at the zoo today, and became a member so we can go whenever we like...there is a fabulous water play area there which makes it worth going to every week. All coping with the heat very well, the jetlag was worse - Felix has only just stopped going to bed at 1.30am! We are enjoying being with our friends from Thailand, Barry and Leah and their two boys, again - they've just moved here too, and it's great to have friends to play with!
Anyway, love to all - we should become regular posters now that a) the blog is no longer blocked to us (thanks, China Netnanny) and b) I no longer have to go out to go to work ( I hesitate to say I'm not working after the last few days spent on my own with the kids!!)
