Siyuan and Yamato


Lux met a Japanese mother 18 months back when we first arrived. Siyuan soon became friends with Yamato, who's a year older. The two kids don't speak the same language, but that hasn't stopped them from playing well together.
Yamato is probably Siyuan's best playmate.
Unfortunately, the global recession meant the Japanese family had to leave HK.
Goodbye Yamato!

Goodbye Melbourne Pram


This was the pram my brother called a tank when he first saw it. When we bought it in Melbourne, it was the lightest we could find at 12.5 kg. In HK and SP, the norm i think is about 4-6 kg. It was hard for Lux to handle the weight of the pram in the first two months, but after that it was great. It rolled uphill easily, always roomy, handled strong wind well and lots of space for shopping.
We took it with us from Melbourne, though we never used it here. It stayed wrapped up.
We finally said good bye to it in HK, needing the room for a new lighter pram for the baby.
Good bye!
