Am back home from the first leg of my dash around the globe. Hong Kong and Macau were... Hong Kong and Macau. The Hong Kong part was mainly the wedding and the Macau part was mainly getting sick.
The wedding was chaotic and beautiful. It was my first taste of seeing a wedding come together from start to finish. My sis and I both know now that we will definitely want a manageable wedding - and to hire a planner. It all came together in the end, but the stress of planning a wedding of this magnitude was just not to be envied.
As expected, none of the dresses fit perfectly amongst us bridesmaids. Mine ended up being way too tight - despite the final fitting the week before. The tailor took in too much and I was in pain all day from the bone in the dress digging into my ribs. It came out alright in the pictures, but I could barely breathe all day...
It was a beautiful wedding. We'll forget the chaos down the road... and laugh about certain things that ticked us off on the day. Loads of tears, loads of cheers. Oooh... and I got to play the grand piano in the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong!
Macau was miserable. I got sick due mainly to the influx of mainland tourists to HK and Macau... and were spreading their germs everywhere by sneezing and coughing violently in my face. Eewww.... I'm still feeling a bit under the weather, but much improved from when I was in Macau. The new casinos are fab. Won a bit of money. Can't wait for Dad's to open in June.
Happily ensconced in my apartment in Japan now. The second leg of my travels begins on Tuesday and I'll be in New York City for about 12 days. Can't wait to get there!
Nothing else to blog... I'm just so tired. I've been just cleaning and doing laundry for the last 2 days I've been back and running to the immigrations office to get my visa sorted out...
Loads more did happen... but I really can't remember everything right now... Maybe I'll blog it later when I remember.~
