Lots of activities in there indoor and outdoor - active as well as sedentary.
I have kids who speak native English, and all my local friends want their kids to learn English. It is very important to locals that their children learn English. Like it or not, Cantonese only speakers are very limited geographically in where they can live and the language itself could be slowly phased out by the masters in Beijing.
Haha re; the whitening creams...I spent ages on the beach in Sydney trying to work on my tan and I get here and mistaken for a Pilipino domestic helper!
Yes the more ambitious ones WANT to learn English as well as mandarin because speaking more than one language is an asset to anyone though most of the English speaking world often forgets about it and expect the world to revolve around them.
The point remains that this is China and they don't need to learn English if they don't want to and won't really need it in their everyday life unless they are part of the minority who comprises the upper class.
Well, like it or not, the world does somewhat revolve around the English language!
It's far more important for a Cantonese speaker to learn English than for an English speaker to learn another language. That is why you can't walk 50 meters in this city without seeing an English language tutoring school.
While learning English is not necessary for local kids, it would be an enormous disadvantage for them not to.
