Photo shooting the Formosa!
Greetings from Taipei!
Prior to leaving HK, Jennifer and I made one trip to Macau to visit our cousin, Vicky, Netty's, and to tour Macau. We visited St. Paul's Cathedral and visited the Wynn hotel. This was the first time I have ever been inside a Wynn hotel and I was very impressed. Jennifer said that it was a duplicate of the Vegas hotel. I'm not surprised!
We are now in Taiwan. So far, we have been uber busy with getting our wedding pictures done. Renting tuxes, trying on dresses, and being shuttled around Taipei taking some good shots. Right now we are on our lunch break and Jennifer has just started to get her hair done.....again. For any curious soon-to-be weds, I would highly recommend getting engagement and wedding pictures done in Asia. Last night, we did get a chance to walk around the night markets. For those of you who don't know, Taiwanese night markets are truly to die for as they feature many small stands filled with interesting little foods including skewers, noodles, hot dogs, and desserts.
Tonight, we are meeting Jennifer's grandmother for the first time. This will be exciting!
Hope all is well back home,
Jason

Dinner at the China Club
Jennifer and I were treated to a special dinner ath the members-only China club by our awesome cousins this evening. Food was good and the vintage Shanghai decor was interesting. This is not a spot that I would usually go to on my own (Chinese food targeted towards Westerners) but the night with family was super fun as usual and the history and tradition behind this dining establishment was unforgettable.

Lei Hou from HK
Lei Hou Peng You- Hello, friends!!
Hope our post finds you safe and well!
I am happy to report to you from a remote internet cafe in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Jason and I settled into our hotel following a delicious traditional meal of congee, fried dough, soy milk and milk tea and have been window shopping all afternoon. Jetlag is creeping in but attempting to fight it with caffeinated beverages and high glycemic-foods.
Our time in Hong Kong (and Taiwan) will be primarily dedicated to visiting our friends and family where we will celebrate our belated nuptials, and, of course, stuffing our faces.
much love from the Eastside!
