Walking around in Kashgar, especially in the old town, one thing you'll notice are the kids. They're constantly underfoot-- boisterous, outgoing, and photogenic, just asking (sometimes literally) to be photographed. Most of the kids are Uighur, though all over Kashgar are Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and Uzbeks, and my Central-Asian-Peoples eye is nowhere near sophisticated enough to tell the difference. Striking blue eyes everywhere, though - just another reminder that you're so far to the west of the Far East, that you're almost on the east side of the West.

The Teeny Travelers
The Teeny Travelers are now Bella, 7, and Matias, 3 years old. We're collectively from the Philippines, the U.S., Sweden, Finland, and Singapore (take your pick). After 5 years in Beijing, and 2 in Singapore, we are now living in the seaside town of Rowayton, CT (and still traveling!)

When the Teeny Traveler was even Teenier...
I wrote a pregnancy blog for Storknet as well - I flew a lot through the whole pregnancy, and wrote from all over the place: the Aland Islands in Finland, Stockholm, Palawan, Manila and the Taal Volcano, Washington DC, our house in Rowayton, CT, and of course, Beijing. I may not have been funnier when I was pregnant, but I certainly had more time to write.
