October 2, 2021October 2, 2021 Guavarama

If you ever want to discuss women’s experience in the work place with sons and daughters, this is definitely one Chinese drama to watch together, especially through a Chinese and cultural expectation lens.

[Cdrama Review] 你是我的城池營壘 You’re My Hero

October 1, 2021October 1, 2021 Guavarama

It’s basically Chinese DOTS (Descendants of the Sun), except he’s a special police and she’s a doctor. But it doesn’t have the angst of DOTS and the plot lines don’t go your typical Kdrama way.

[CDrama Review] 御賜小仵作 The Imperial Coroner

September 30, 2021October 1, 2021 Guavarama

It’s super well executed, and the plot is super tight; one mystery leads to another to another, all toward the big evil plot. If your kids can watch dead bodies, and likes who dun it, plus political intrigue, then it’s a good drama to watch with them.

[Zhuyin Curriculum] Zhuyin Big Pocket 康軒 ㄅㄆㄇ大口袋

September 25, 2021September 25, 2021 Guavarama

TLDR: Good off the shelf curriculum for the parents who don’t want to think or plan too much and doesn’t mind more traditional workbook method.

So what don’t I like? Well, there’s that lack of Montessori phonics colors that kind of drive me bonkers. But whatever, this isn’t a Montessori phonics program.

[Board Games] 注音High客 Zhuyin Hacker

August 28, 2021September 24, 2021 Guavarama
