Chinese restaurant is nice, lots of golden fish for me to watch!
DaGuangLou, a hot day
Buggy was useless in China sometime! Comfy travelling like this!
I like stone lion
Second day, Golden Temple Park. Daddy paid 10 yuan to ring the Chinese bell on top of the bell tower, it is said for good luck...
First day in Kunming, I've been to YuanTongShang with Mummy , Daddy and WaiPo in my nice buggy. I was taken as LaoWai, bunch of 4 years old jumped in front of my buggy trying to say hello to me in English. I thought I was blended in...

Great to see the familiar places and names.
Daniel was regarded as Lao Wai in Kunming. But in UK, he is probably taken as little Chinese baby. :)
In UK Daniel doesn't receive the degree of attention as he did in China. Compare to 0.4% Chinese population in UK, Mixed person account for 1% population here, which make them more ordinary than Chinese.
Daniel received too much attention even in HK considering there is a large eurasian community there. First leg of our HK trip. we stayed Tsim Sha Tsui, where we pushed Daniel out on the street, there were those young HK girls keep squatting down to touch his toe and hold his hand each time we stopped at triffic lights. Other episode included at the HK airport when we arrived from KM queuing for passport control, Chinese people kept looking at him then looked at us...
Anyway, I regarded Daniel as Chinese but I hope he is not torn by his identity when he grows up and grow into one of those internationaly-minded people.
Haha, I can picture in my mind the cute Daniel got bombarded by young girls in HK... Must be soooo cute.
There are more and more eurasian kids in Australia nowadays. It's such a multicultured society and they are not that unique. I think Isaac and Isabel are first of all Australians. But I will try my best to teach them everything Chinese.
