having a quiet moment
I am starting a new series on the blog called “Quiet Moments with Becky & Chris”
Being an expat you can’t help but have some questions about life in whatever country you are residing in. Somehow Chris and I come up with the most random questions, some are silly but some are legitimate questions that we would like to know the answers to! So if you read these and it makes you smile- mission accomplished! If you read these and it makes you think-that’s a double whammy! If you read our quiet moments and actually know the answers please enlighten us!
If you are an expat or a traveler with a quiet moment of your own please share! I would love to post it and give you the bragging rights and in return you might make someone smile, think or finally get the answer you were looking for!
Here we go! This is a Becky Quiet Moment:

Then, when confronted with dozens of YouTube videos demonstrating the true nature of these individuals I lost an hour of my life enthralled by the very fact that this was actually an entertainment genre requiring multiple views in some cases.
And then I ……
What was the question?
How about – “Where did the sniff-kiss originate?”
What’s that?!
Check this out – hilarious. Must be an Asian thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQVAWUBcTu4
Nobody has tried to sniff-kiss Killian yet? It is the way Thai people kiss babies. They sniff them on the arm or the face, etc. We call it the “sniff-kiss.” Not sure it has a real name . . .
I know what you are talking about now! The last nanny did that and I thought she just wanted to smell him… Weird since he normally doesn’t smell very good such a boy 🙂
