Happy Holidays & New Year!

Hi,

Can you believe it's already been two years since we left New York?! While it means we haven't seen some of you as often as we'd like and that we're away from you over the holidays, it also means we've made new friends (the rest of you!) and traveled to exciting and exotic places.

In lieu of a holiday card in the mail, we decided to make this quicky blog highlighting the last two years.  Enjoy, happy holidays and here's to all your wishes coming true in 2011!

Love,
Vin, Jessica and Victor




Everyday Life

When we're not jet-setting around Asia, we do lead very normal lives!

Victor frolics on the beach outside our apartment:

Vin takes me out for high tea (just kidding -- this was for Mother's Day!)

We hang out on the couch:

Singapore!

Singapore - the Asian America.  With a Gap and Starbucks on every corner, we really felt like we were home!


We had visitors!

We've been lucky to have a lot of you come and stay with us!  Please spread the word to everyone else that 1) the plane ride isn't lethal and 2) HK is a lot of fun!

Here's my mom and Doug in front of the famous HK skyline!

Macau!

Macau is a small island (or group of islands) that's an hour-long ferry ride from HK.  Vin recently ran a half marathon there:


Macau Fun Fact #1:
Like HK, Macau is technically owned by China, but functions as its own country.  It was founded by Portugal and so has incredible Portuguese food - especially at Fernandos:
 
Macau Fun Fact #2:
It's also the gambling mecca of Asia - complete with gargantuan casinos from The Wynn, Venetian, Hard Rock and others. Steve Wynn was recently quoted as saying Macau is where the future of gambling is...

Real Men Wear Kilts

Vin showed off his amazing gams for the St. Andrews Ball!


Seoul!

Had a blast in Tokyo's little sister, Seoul!
