Last Saturday, my family headed to SMX Convention Center in Mall of Asia to check out the Smart Kids Asia, Philippine Edition.
![Smart Kids Asia comes to the Philippines!](https://i0.wp.com/www.touringkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/10497324_677220329018518_6770299759771204540_o.jpg?resize=296%2C300)
Smart Kids Asia is like a road show (you know, those car shows and expos) but this time, kids are in the front row (with their parents behind them!).
![Yup, we'll always be behind her, taking photos!](https://i0.wp.com/www.touringkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CIMG0310.jpg?resize=300%2C225)
Smart Kids Asia filled up the entire first floor of the SMX with various booths — trial classes, products and services, books, museums, and other whathaveyous for kids.

![This Game Van is a mobile arcade! Was not able to take a peek inside though, as the inside was filled to the brim.](https://i0.wp.com/www.touringkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CIMG0304.jpg?resize=300%2C225)
![Some booths sample their products as well. My kid took time in each station that she won't leave until she's tried everything!](https://i0.wp.com/www.touringkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CIMG0313.jpg?resize=300%2C225)
![They had Macaw Park exhibiting (the one in Subic) so I just had to try it!](https://i0.wp.com/www.touringkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CIMG0330.jpg?resize=300%2C225)
![Spongebob and Patrick stepped on stage, and my daughter was so delighted. We missed Dora and Diego and Boots though, who appeared earlier in the day.](https://i0.wp.com/www.touringkitty.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/CIMG0320.jpg?resize=300%2C225)
