June 2, 2015 - Volunteer Tea and Capoeira and China

A bit of a rainy, humid, hodge podgy week.

I am working like mad and our air con is not working the best at night.  I know - woe is me.

So working a lot means a creative release for moi.  So these days - it is dusting off my camera (already in good use).

But first -there was a volunteer tea at TIS.  So cute to be served by the students and to be sung to by Charlotte and her classmates again this year.  Hopefully one year Sophia can sing there too.

Back to the camera - I took pictures at Capoeira on Saturday - to test out my big lens again (The Tokina beast) and to try to sort out off camera flash shooting.  Trying to take pictures of the kids doing their capoeira moves with little shaking and decent face lighting.   I think I have sorted it out - but flash photography is really a beast in itself.

Matt played hockey in Dongguan on Saturday and the girls and I went over to Zhuhai on Sunday - it was SO great to see Janice!  She was a consummate host - thanks for showing us around!  Yay!

We scooted around Nam San - sort of a testament to the lack of green space here.  We tried Alibaba Express and it was great!  Very filling.  Some pics are below...

Last week Sophia went to the Science Centre with her school class- Claudia kindly shared some photos!

My friend Jessie organized this cool event to raise money for the Nepal Earthquake victims - a great event in an amazing 'hidden gem' space - the Macau Design Centre!  Awesome job Jessie!
