We always go back to Singapore for the summer. As our kids grow bigger, they get more demanding. They're no longer just satisfied sitting around their grandparents' place, or playing at the neighborhood playgrounds.
Last year, we made a special effort to arrange something fun, or new for them to do at least once a week. We took them to Little India one day. My 7-year-old had got to the stage where he was becoming aware of different cultures, and enjoyed seeing different places. Little India was just like a miniature India, with lots of Indian restaurants, shops lining the streets selling Indian spices, incense, saris, and a couple of Indian temples.
We stopped at an Indian restaurant, and my 7-year-old actually decided he was brave enough to try curry! I was very proud of him! He drank a lot of water, in between "bites" (we dipped Naan - tortilla like bread - in curry), but he didn't complain.
Later, we stopped at an open shopping area full of little shops selling Indian outfits, and other accessories. It was fun, and we grew dizzy just walking around the circular mall, dazzled by the clothes, mostly with sequins, beads, and beautiful embroidery sewn on them!
