Teck and me planned a long trip to Beijing this summer with the intention of a language immersion for our children(and me included).

Being in London for 10 years, I have long given up on my mandarin and I have lost confidence in teaching my children mandarin. Been's a uphill task trying to get my children to respond to me in mandarin.

With the best intentions and a never-die attitude plus much prayers, we booked for a month long holiday.
