Down the Yellow Slide

Pia, on what could be her very first ride down any slide.

Having a playground on the 4th floor of the building we lived in - this was in the Hong Kong - made it very convenient to bring the kids out to play every day.  The playground was open-air, so it's technically outdoors, even though within the building.

There were probably 300 families in the building.  There was no shortage of children. There were always plenty of noisy children running and playing around. The first ones would arrive with their nannies, or their mommies, around 4:30 pm and play until up to 7:00 pm, when it became too dark to see.

This same pattern occurs everday except during winter. It was too cold to play outside by then.
