Hey Yo!

May 14, 2013

I know I’m a day late for a weekend recap but I didn’t do anything overly exciting this weekend anyway so you all didn’t miss much.  

Just got home from a great dinner with a new Chinese friend and Saffer at a new(to us) westernish restaurant very near to us and it was delicious!!! 

So full! 

When Saffer asked a steak just doesn’t taste the same as back home my reply was: “I think its because the cows eat Chinese food here” Don’t judge me..it made sense in my head.

Seafood Soup 

I decided a while ago that I wanted to do something very exciting before I head home and since I recently had to decide to take Tokyo off the menu the next best thing is Macau. 

Well not just Macau…bungee jumping off the Macau Tower. 


It happens to be the highest bungee jump spot in the world and I am going to make it happen. We have a few days off falling a week or so after my birthday so it kind of also works out as my birthday present to myself. 

I may also be posting this so I am less likely to convince myself that I shouldn’t do it. I’ve never done it before and I am quite seriously terrified…



So this is my declaration that I am going to do it…in June please check back and make sure I did 🙂

The Party Don’t Start Till I Walk In!

May 9, 2013

Love this link up…It brings out my favorite kinds of posts…you  know the kind with drunken pictures of everyone acting their very best!

I realized I don’t talk about the fact that I am living in a foreign country quite as much so I thought I’d share a trend I picked up after leaving the states…drinking out of buckets !
 
Thailand! 
 
Only pro’s should try this one….
And the last and most recent…..
So now you all know…everyone should drink out of buckets!!!
