What's the best way to spend your weekend? Swimming of course! Both Kai and Raili have become quite skilled in the the water during the last two weeks.

A few curious things about the Chinese pools; you must always wear a swimming cap if your hair is longer than, well, an inch is my guess. There are exceptions for boys but not for girls. Pool shoes are not allowed or any other "additional" wear (shirts or caps to keep sun away, etc). You must take a shower before entering (understandable) but you also must wash off any sunblock, even if it's waterproof (ouch!).
