Mom of 3rd Culture Kids

Guess who came to the house for Valentines? It’s my li’l girl’s close friend and he gave her flowers. It’s quite sweet for him to do that. He actually asked his mom to take him and bring flowers to my girl. But wait, he’s only 8 years old! Hahaha! My girl on the other hand felt it was normal for her to receive flowers since her father always give her flowers on special occasions too. I’m not so sure if she knows the ‘meaning’ behind flowers and Valentines day.. and so is her friend, but as of this age, I find it quite amusing and cute.

But I guess, I will start getting nervous if my girl will receive flowers when she’s a teenager. Oh, I don’t even want to think about this now.. like how as a Mom will I handle teenage life with my kids especially in the area of relationships and stuff… Oh please my babies, please don’t grow up too fast…

.. London look-alike that is.

Here are our photos of the London floor at Terminal 21 in Bangkok. If you’re not familiar with Terminal 21, it’s Bangkok’s newest mall in which it has an Airport Terminal concept and each floor brings you to different capital cities of the world. As for the London floor, you can see the famous London Bus, the red telephone booth, the British guard among other things. The shops on this floor are not London based companies though and you can’t expect to find english riding boots . Only the interior has that  ’touch’ of London but the shops are more from different parts of the world.

We had a great time ‘travelling’ the world in Terminal 21. It’s a great experience for us and I would love to go back there again.

I applied for my passport renewal early this week. We went all the way to Bangkok for this document to be processed. But sadly, the processing for my passport takes 6 weeks so it means we have to go back to Bangkok in April. Oh, I don’t mind the travel but I do mind the expenses. Yes, travelling is quite expensive but admittedly, I  find it fun! I love going to different places, especially the cities. I  get excited to what new technologies or experiences that the city can offer. Oh, I can’t tell you how amused I got when I saw Terminal 21′s toilet. It was so hi tech! I’m sure Bangkok has also got airbrush tanning systems too  .

Anyways,  I’m thinking to just bring my daughter on my next visit to Bangkok so, we  won’t go out of the budget. It will be a good bonding time for us too!
