Macau - Two Weeks In

It's been a busy two weeks to say the least. Thankfully we secured an apartment before we left Canada so we didn't have to bother with temporary accommodations. Funny enough, we are in the same complex and the same tower as before just up a whole lot higher. The nice thing is that it is quite quiet on the 23rd floor and the view is spectacular. Our apartment came nicely furnished so we only have to pick up a few pieces of furniture to complete our new home. I will provide photos of the apartment in the next post.
We are all trying to get used to the weather although that will take some time. Most days the temperature is in the low- to mid-thirties with humidity hovering around 80%; there has been a lot of sweating going on. Thank goodness for a pool!
Attached is a photo of the view from our living room as a photo of Danielle and her best buddy Dimity (aka "the evil twins").

Good-bye Canada

Oops, we did it again. We packed up and headed off to Macau for the second time. This time we sold our house and most of our belongings, shipping only the most important items to Macau by boat. We were out of our house July 29 and we stayed at my sister Marlene's place until we departed for Toronto on August 3rd. It was an emotional time for us all as there were buckets of tears at the Edmonton airport followed by smiles and hugs in Toronto about six hours later. The scenario repeated itself as we departed Canada August 12 for the long flight to Macau (sixteen hours via Taipei). See you next summer Canada!
