A deserted beach in the heart of a bustling city? Too good to be true and yet this vast expanse of sand and sea lined with a canopy of green hills with no one but my son in sight is just what I am experiencing right now! A pleasant 25 minute ferry ride from Aberdeen brings… {Read More}
A visit to Noah’s Ark in Hong Kong
Incredible but true! The world’s only full size replica of Noah’s Ark, in our own city, in Hong Kong!

Holidays with older children

Amma tell me about Durga Puja – A Giveaway!

Studio City Macau – a big disappointment
Easter break in school – 2 weeks of bliss from the daily routine of school and activities. Best time to plan a good getaway from the madness and crowd, and yet for some unfathomable reason, we chose to go Macau. One tends to forget that Macau is nothing but an extension of Hong Kong. Same… {Read More}
