Our adventurous spirit continued. After Sunday long run for me and golf lessons for the girls, we went to explore PIK. An artificial island built on the ocean. Completely new city and development. It is crazy to think how it was built, isn’t it? The area has two attractions, one is the Chinatown and that was our first stop.
It was a street of 200-300 meters long with shops and traditional chinese architectures. Since we just came back from China, girls are familiar with most of them
we tried few chinese snacks… not as authentic but fun to try
then we drove for 15 min to arrive at Aloha. It really had a Hawai vibe with white sand beach facing the ocean
It was quite hot so we stayed in the shade for lunch. Daddy picked Texas BBQ, an ENORMOUS burger that had not only ground beef with BBQ meat inside. It was the best burger he’d ever had, he said.
then to cool down the heat from the burger (everything here is spicy!!!), we had coconut ice cream
It was fun to explore this area of the city, surreal in a sense. Very creative and change of scene for the locals as most of entertainment happen in malls.
We got home 2:30pm again, chill for the rest of the day.
I am really enjoying explorations like this. Once girls weekend swimming starts, it will become harder to find time to do these, but we will maybe do smaller explorations?!

It looks fun- and HOT there. 🙂 That is one big burger. Sounds like he’s been working hard with the trainer lately and deserves that big treat though. yum yum. It’s great you’re getting around to explore some local places! I agree you should definitely make sure to do that so you don’t have any regrets once you eventually leave. Definitely gets hard with more weekend activities. We run into that too- most weekends are so busy with soccer or swim etc that when we DO have a free weekend, we either are just tired and I don’t feel like going out touring around local places, or we have house projects etc to take care of that we couldn’t on the sports weekends!

What a cool spot to check out! It is fun to be a tourist in your own town. It’s easy to put off doing things like that and think you’ll do them someday, and then someday never comes. Especially when with how often you guys move around for your job! We do quite a few weekend adventures, but often the same things over and over again. Our kids aren’t in many activities yet and being out of the house is best for everyone but I know that the period of pretty open weekends will come to an end soon as their activity involvement picks up!
