Ben : Wamee, I need to go Shanghai.
Diana : Okay. Why?
Ben : I need to give a presentation.
Diana : Okay. When?
Ben : Early June.
Diana : Asher will be 8 mo. Don’t worry, I can take care of him by myself.
Ben : I know. Do you think I can bring Asher along?
Diana : ….(silent) My Visa is dead.
Ben : Apply again. Oh, Asher and I don’t need Visa.
Diana : I know !
So, Daddy Ben surprised me with an unplanned trip (for Asher) day before yesterday! He even suggested to have grandparents and Aunty Ju flying with us. Since I’ve been there myself and did a simple F & E trip in 2007, I think I can bring them around the city and get a guided tour to Hangzhou. Oh my, I already started to plan the itinerary ! I still remember when we went there in 2007, Ben said he wants to come back for 2010 World Expo 上海世博会. He must be very excited.
As for me, is 大娘水饺 ! 淮海中路 ! 南京東路 ! and we missed a few things – 东方明珠塔 ! 宋庆龄故居 ! 周恩來故居 !
Well, I think bringing my little 8 mo for a short trip shouldn’t be difficult. I remember Douglas was 9 mo when he went for his trip UK trip, Michaela & Stefanie flew to Singapore from UK when they were 2 mo. Mummies who brought your infants out of country before please share with me what to bring, what must bring …. Thank You !!!

check the temperature when is nearer…. I can help u to ask my Shanghai counrter part when is nearer then you decided what to bring over….. I ever been there during June, and i remembered I wear as per what I was wearing in Singapore…. very comfortable weather… but again, u know lah, now weather also a bit “siao” de….
Let me know where u stay later on… if I am there, hahaha… see whether can meet up or not…. i could be staying in Pudong or Puxi… heehee…..
ok ok…. if i am travelling w my swiss boss then, I will be staying in Shangrila in Pudong… let’s hope our date can meet…
Our family travel patterns are really similar! Aussie – Bangkok – Hongkong – Batam etc and USA 2008, Taiwan 2009
My hb is also planning to go Shanghai Expo this year and also looking at early June (cos my sister’s wedding is on last weekend of May).
But the main difference is…I’m not going with him
Been to SH a few times so I shall skip this round and stay home with 4M. Also to save money cos I am going Bali (Mar) and Bangkok (Aug) with my girlfriends.
Family vacation – also thinking of Australia/Korea. We planning after my sister’s wedding in May. They are only going for their Europe HM next year so we wanna squeeze in another family trip again
Asher is such a lucky baby. Gotta see the world at 8mo!
