A day in Macau

June 18, 2013

Since I didn’t do much this weekend…in fact I actually slept most of it away (sad I know but I was exhausted) I thought it would be fun to share my photos from Macau. 


Saffer, GCGirl and I decided we needed to go for the night since I was going to jump anyway might as well make a nice night out of it. It was actually quite fun and we probably would have seen more if it hadn’t been raining on/off the entire time. So here ya go! 

Before the jump…i hadn’t yet started to look terrified…

Chinese Vegas…or at least that’s what they say 

Macau Tower 

this was after a few hurricanes…

sometimes…when I drink I make stupid faces….

Ruins of St. Pauls 

Ok…so sometimes when I sober I make crazy faces as well…

If you recall…I have a thing for doors….

Hurricane! 

Tequila lime chicken sandwich…it was amazing and I am not just saying that because I never get real western food anymore 

Was nice to put some makeup and a dress on again 🙂 

Girls on our night out 🙂 


So yea…That sums up my trip to Macau! Am hoping to get back there again before I head home but not sure if it will happen.

How was your weekend??

Bungee Jumping in Macau!

June 11, 2013

Sooo remember when I said I would bungee jump off the Macau tower? Well…I did it! 

and 

I didn’t die or crap my pants…the people at AJ Hackett are seriously amazing. The jump was expensive but very much worth it. They made jokes and reassured me if I cried I wouldn’t be the first. 

so here are some photos! I wanted to post the video but its too big so I will have to figure out how to make it a bit smaller. 

It was definitely an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone who might be slightly crazy 🙂

The Party Don’t Start Till I Walk In….Link-ups!

May 30, 2013

Linking up again this week for…The Party Dont Start

and then for a new one: 

 

I haven’t blogged all week because I had my friend Bellydancer here visiting and then I had to finish the paper I was supposed to get done before she got here and didn’t. Then I had my new part time job which involves going to dinner and out to KTV and getting paid. Its wonderful to get paid to just hang out with someone.

So anyway…the link up! We partied this weekend for my coworkers 30th birthday!!! Yay!

Its hot in my part of China right now…HOT HOT and so even though I start most nights decently ladylike by the end of the night I am sweaty duckfaced mess. Don’t judge me. 

doing what I do best….
 
So there you have it! Go link up!!! 

And here is my drink…
Passionfruit Mojitos! 

I love mojitos but nothing makes me a happier girl than finding a place that makes a passionfruit one! 
 
Passionfruit Mojito
1 ½ oz. Parrot Bay Passion fruit Rum
1 oz. Passion fruit Juice
½ oz. Sour Mix
5 Mint Leaves
A Splash of Club Soda
 
and then sit back and enjoy 🙂
