Happy Valentine’s Day

Hello everyone!  Laura and I want to wish all of you a happy Valentine’s Day.

Xin Nian Kuai Le – Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone back home.  The year of the pig is ending and the year of the rat is just about upon us.  The lunar new year officially starts on Thursday, but the big celebrations and fireworks start tomorrow night.  They are really into the fireworks here so I’m sure the cats will be burying themselves deep into the sweater drawer tomorrow night.

Laura’s off to Bali and Singapore for the week so it’s just me and my new little friends.  Lucy has adjusted quite well considering that there were already two cats that felt like they owned the house already.  When Laura gets back from Bali I’m sure she’ll have some words and pictures to share.

Here’s a gift for all of you this year. Enjoy it while you can, because you’ll probably never see anything like this again. I had the ‘privilege’ of hosting this year’s staff party as Santa. If you could see the look on my face as I write this you’ll see just how pleased I was about all of it. The party was great, but dressing up as Santa isn’t really my thing.

Ho ho…………….ho

Morgan, I know that you are especially getting a good laugh out of this one

Happy Birthday Laura!

Tis the season for birthdays and this time it was Laura’s turn to celebrate her birthday.  The birthday parties started at 10AM and lasted through the night.  After leaving school we headed over to the American Club to meet some friends for drinks and snacks and then made our way over to the Flying Squadron, a place you have to see with your own eyes to appreciate it.

Happy Birthday!!

Laura and friends.
