After sleeping on the floor in their tiny apartment, Mom and Dad take me out for a day of shopping to outfit for Thailand. It was great to hug again when they picked me up at the airport; we all had big smiles on! It's been 6 months since I've seen them.
First we go out for dim sum and have a huge feast. They've gotten pretty proficient at ordering food. Mom tries to teach me some of the Cantonese that she's learned and starts with PLEASE: 'mm goi say.' Dad corrects her and says, "no, it's 'mm goi saai.' What you said means PLEASE DIE." I guess she still needs some more practice on her tones and phonemes? :p
You might be able to see me in the mirror here.

I meant to ask you a while back, what are your parents doing in Hong Kong?
My parents are teaching at the Canadian International School for a year and then moving back to Canada in the summer
