The last week of January was the Chinese New Year break for all of us. We decided this year to stay in and around Macau to get a taste of the biggest celebration of the year in China. Macau itself it looks beautiful as red lanterns hang everywhere and wherever you go there is a festive feeling in the air. After a few days in Macau, we headed to Hong Kong for two days of shopping and playing during the first two days of the new year. On day one Emily and Danielle used their Christmas money to buy a Wii Fit (a very awesome interactive game). We also took in a movie and a trip on the Star Ferry to see the lights of Hong Kong from across Victoria Harbor. Day two saw us travel to Ocean Park, our favorite wildlife/amusement park in Hong Kong. The girls did many rides and saw the sea lions and the giant pandas. The park was busy but enjoyable nonetheless. We headed to the ferry at 5:30 quite ready to get back home to our own beds. Two days later we headed into mainland China (Zhu Hai) to do some cross border shopping. Shoes for school and clothes for ever-growing girls topped the list of things to buy.
