Today, the tour of Beijing begins.
Our hotel is located in the middle of a hutong 胡同，so they have a rickshaw to ferry customers to the main road to get a cab. But it was a nice relaxing walk, so we walked, and the kids sat on the rickshaw.
We went to the Forbidden Palace for our [...]

Today, we were going to take it easy. Daddy suggested to go 秀水 for shopping first, so that we have time to try the clothes in the hotel room, and have time to go back for exchange if the size doesn’t fit.
So we woke up a bit later. The hotel provided buffet breakfast. I loved [...]

We arrived at about 730am. Our business partner wanted to come fetch us. He knew we were coming for a hols, so he specially made a trip back to his hometown or Harbin. Normally he is based in Dalian. So sweet right?

After lunch, brought the kids to their wet market. Then took a ride home in their trishaw, for only RMB2!
Before we left for the train station, Wang Ping’s family insisted to have dinner with us again, cos they had not met Matthew, as he was having drinks with our business partners the day before.
It was [...]

Before going to do some “work”, we brought the kids to the mall to buy some more winter wear, cos it was really really cold. We saw this auntie selling 冰糖葫芦 and we bought some. We bought the strawberries ones, the grapes ones and sweet potato ones. Quite yummy but quite sweet too.
We then had [...]

My first time being away from baby, so brought my pump equipment, cold bag etc, but I only managed to feel engorged once, so I only expressed one time, and my body seemed to “weaned” itself….
Anyway, cos my dad’s apartment does not have a fridge, so i kept my packet of milk on the window sill outside, [...]
