Thoughts from Thailand as we bring up our first son in 21st Century Asia. The reason the blog is called China Bamboo Gate is because if we would have had a girl she would have been called China, a boy, Bamboo. This blog is for all our family and friends dotted all over the world (but mainly in the UK and Laos) and dedicated to our little gem of a son.
Us and Us Only
- Boothy, Dtocky and Bamboo
