 Routine and schedules, September is known for that. School in Asia though is quite different from school in the US. You can join my "Living in Two Cultures" group and join that discussion.
Of course, it is also Mid-Autumn Festival-- a wonderful holiday for children. Lanterns, moon cakes and getting to stay up late are high on my girls' lists of favorites:)!
Fall is a favorite time for me with cool weather and many China holidays such as Moon Festival and National Day. Louie are I are looking forward our dream trip to Vietnam and Cambodia in early October and to even more celebrations with the Lotus Travel Anniversary in October, National Adoption Month in November and, of course, Christmas in December. Celebrating lots of holidays is a plus of being an Asian-American family:)!
As we prepare to celebrate our 15th anniversary for Lotus Travel next month, will announce some special ways to celebrate. In this issue we are unveiling a new "Trip Saver" Plan as a tool to assist families. Happy Mid Autumn Festival to you and your loved ones.
