Not much new to report on our end. We've been keeping busy by looking for another (bigger) apartment to secure before our lease expires this summer. Have found a couple of good ones, but Hong Kong needs a serious updating of all flats they offer. There just aren't many quality offerings.
Other than that, not much else going on. I believe Monday and Tuesday are VN holidays so we don't expect to hear much this week.
Hopefully more soon.
Apparently there are 3 certainties in life right now: death, taxes, and DELAYS!
Yes, we are delayed.
Yes, it sucks.
No, we aren't going to kill each other and make death, taxes, and delays happen all in the same week.
No, we aren't that surprised. Our agency has been very good at explaining the circumstances.
No, we aren't giving up.
It looks like the ceremony will now be in May, perhaps towards the end of May.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
When we have to wait, we travel! This last week we have been in Indonesia - Jakarta for a few days and Bali for the weekend.
Jakarta was interesting. Security is tight everywhere. You can't get into hotels or malls without your car being scanned. Bali was really cool. A beautiful place and beach. We had great seafood dinners on the beach in Jimbaran and went to Ubud for the day.
We stopped by Monkey Forest and fed the monkeys. I had told Wit that monkeys kind of freak me out, mainly because they are so human-like. I told him how to feed them, just place the banana on your hand and hold it out, then they will walk up and take it. Wit was holding it like a baseball and flung it as soon as a group started surrounding him!! It is a bit nerve-racking when they come in herds. They are so dang smart! One monkey proceeded to climb my back while I was there, that was a bit disturbing, but funny.
The shopping was really neat. If only we had more time, I think we would have come home with some gigantic Balinese furniture. There's always next time...
Now we are back in HK. Still no definite word on our ceremony date yet, but we are still hopeful for the 23rd.
Below are a couple of pics from our trip, we are really bad about taking pictures when we are on vacation.

After giving my husband the third degree for wanting money that I assumed was going to some shitty piece of sports paraphernalia, he went and surprised me with a great keepsake for the girls. These photos were taken at the 2007 Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tourney. What a great guy!!!
