Shanghai Ocean Aquarium

After trying for almost 6 months to convince Simon to checkout the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium with the kids, out-of-the-blue, he suggested we go on this cold and rainy Sunday.

Both Simon and I expected this place to be a bit tacky and crowded. We were both very impressed with the whole place. Very well done. Some tanks had open top so you were really 'up close and personal' with the fishes. Both kids seemed quite amazed with the huge fishes swimming near them.

There was even a petting zone for baby sharks. We did not get to try it this time but definitely we will do the next time we go. And yes, it is definitely the place to visit again when we have ran out of places to go with the kids.

Eczema

We've finally found the product that is very gentle and solves our twins' eczema problems.

When the kids were born, we used Mustela products as these seem to be the best one we can find in Shanghai. Mustela has stopped selling their products in Shanghai for unknown reasons. Avent has also slowly faded from the Shanghai shelves. We tried Johnson's & Johnson's but they are too harsh and has these heavy scents.

On a trip to Hong Kong some time ago, I managed to get a couple of the California Baby Calming Cream from the only distributor in Asia. Since then, we've been hooked especially after noticing the improvements on the twins' sensitive and eczema-prone skin. The nappy cream is also the best from the ones we've tried. Importantly we can order these from their online store and get shipped to us within a week from ordering!
