    recommendations re summer chinese language school/camp

    You can pick traditional or simplified program.  We opted for traditional and her instructor was Taiwanese, no rolling of the Rrrrrr's.  =) Also, in the morning from 8-9, it is "daycare" time so they usually show chinese cartoons.  Instruction starts at 9.  All instruction is in chinese, when...

    recommendations re summer chinese language school/camp

    We did SCCCA 2 summers in a row. Loved it because of the time and lunch option.  Drop off as early as 8 and pickup as late as 6:30 pm.  Hot lunch is also available for purchase.  I believe it was $6 a day for hot asian lunch.  As for chinese instruction, we were pleased with it.

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    please don't call people a #troll when you don't even know what ??? means.  It basically is the chinese equivalent of "you're crazy" or "out of your mind."

    Veterans Cemetery coming to Irvine

    Ok, momopi. You just made me laugh at loud.  With no shortages of parks in irvine, why would one stroll through a cemetery to exercise?!  Just ask your Taiwanese parents if they would read or telecommute in a cemetary....  I'm pretty sure their response would be ???!

    Capital Noodle Bar

    We made it on opening day, wait was about 15 minutes at around 6:30 pm.  Got the Capital Bowl.  Like PS9 said, can't match Trieu Chau's broth but decent for Irvine.  They ran out of the thick rice noodles so had thin rice noodles instead.  Not the same, but still good. The best was Hainan...

    Have you tried Seoul Haus on Trabuco/Yale (next to liquor store)? Better than Tang 190 in terms of food and service!

    Combo Class (Kindergarten/1st Grade)

    Happy Birthday Irvinemommy31! Trust me, the first graders in my child's combo class were far from being behind his/her grade level.  From what I can tell, they were all academically advanced and great independent learners. I would take it as a compliment that your son was chosen for the combo class.
