New Look

Thanks for your patience while I try out a new look for our blog! Going for a cleaner feel-those gray scales just screamed Dragon to me and are oh so Chinese- as this is the year of the dragon and all...I am working on uploading quality pictures {big ones} from my iphone and the Blog Press app. Whats the big secret to bigger/better pictures?? Anyone?

The breakfast of champions

Now that it's officially fall (or mid-autumn) football is on tv! We had friends over for a great football brunch!
Monday an Tuesday are public holidays here-one for mid-autumn and one for Chinese National Day.
We celebrated with football, food and dressing up.

Mid-Autumn Festival

A breeze has started to cool things down in HK as Autumn rolls in. In celebration of this and the biggest moon all year-we gathered for the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival.


As usual we got together with friends on the beach and watched the moon rise as the kids played and lit the night with lanterns and glow sticks.


The festivities begin!


The moon rises and the kids shine!
