In Need of a Holiday

The summer heat has truly descended in Shanghai. The sweltering summer heat is felt everywhere and kids don't want to venture out. Yesterday afternoon we took them downstairs (in our apartment compound) to play with street chalks and ride their bicycle. Kids already complained of the heat and we were back up in our air conditioned apartment to cool off after less than 30 minutes of being out. And it was 'only' 37 degree celsius! We still have to survive the heat in August which can climb up to 40 degrees celsius. Fortunately, we have a small wind blowing in but the heat still can drain all your energy.

What I am dreaming of right now is being able to go to a nice beach! (Sigh!) I dug up some old photos which I'd scanned of days spent at a resort ages ago. Memorable experience I would love to take my family to some day... (another big sigh!)... to Miniloc Island.
