Celebrating thirdmay

Can't believe how time flies, it's been a year since we basked in the Phuket sun while i was 6 months pregnant with Mountain boy.

This year we chose to spend our anniversary in Macau, the land of vices and everything Stanley Ho. It's my first visit here and i can't believe i never came here earlier. It's only my 3rd day and this city already ranks higher than Paris in my books. The streets are decked in gawdy buildings and ornate statues, yet somehow it feels right, it feels like there is an identity.
My first casino experience was a disappointment though. My beginner's luck pretty much ran out at the first hand. I won 50HKD at BIG SMALL and it was downhill after that. Gambling at casino is not my thing, i rather "throw away money" on a handbag or a pair of shoes. That's why i think Macau is the perfect place for couples because the men and women have different stuff to do.

Anyway, Mountain Boy has been a trooper. I am amazed at how adaptable he is. He has been eating, drinking, sleeping and pooing well. Getting him to sit long in his stroller is becoming a challenge though. We found out that empty water bottles are the best distraction.
