48. Bungy Jump
Well, I'm alive still! Leading up to yesterday, the anticipation of jumping has been killing me since we returned to Macao. Amanda purchased a free Macao Tower bungy jump at a school silent auction last year and it expires tomorrow. Right from the start, I knew that Amanda wouldn't do it, nor would Kylisha, so by default I was the go to person. I've actually bungy jumped before, but that was at the piddly West Edmonton Mall one.
I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous all day and barely had an appetite to eat lunch. The worst part was walking out onto the ledge and looking straight down. I could easily do it again now, but it definitely feels good now that the tallest bungy in the world is done with!
65 down.....35 to go!

Visitors, a wedding, and CONGRATULATIONS!!!
In November we had three visitors at the same time...Kylisha's best pal Danika came back again for two weeks and Amanda's mom and her best friend Edna came for a visit at the same time.
It was a very busy two weeks since we didn't actually have any time off while they were here and it was report card time for Amanda AND Kylisha has a crazy course load this term. Danika went to school with Kylisha a few days and then spent some time exploring Macao with Amanda's mom and Edna, because let's be honest...what kid would want to spend her vacation going to school?!
While they were here we still managed to:
1. Go trick or treating (since they arrived the day before Halloween)
2. Have dinner at the Macao Tower's revolving restaurant to celebrate my birthday
3. Watch the Cirque de soliel show Zaia at the Venetian (and we also had dinner at North...a really nice restaurant where they make all their own noodles right in front of you).
4. Amanda, her mom and Edna went to Shenzhen for a girl's shopping weekend and stayed in the Shangri-La where they had high tea (and Amanda's mom bought about 50,000 pairs of shoes).
5. All the girls headed to Hong Kong for a weekend and they enjoyed a trip to Cheung Chau Island
6. Multiple trips to old Taipa and Senado Square
7. I took Amanda's mom, Edna and Danika to Zhuhai for the day so that they could go shopping (and Edna bought 50,000 pairs of shoes).
It was a fun and busy two weeks!! There are lots of pictures, but they belong to Amanda's mom and she hasn't shared...so this is all you get:
At the beginning of December Amanda made a weekend trek to Las Vegas to attend her bestie Lynn's wedding. It was a whirlwind weekend, but she is extremely happy she went and we want to wish Lynn and Dan all the best in the future! I went on Amanda's iphone to find pictures documenting the weekend. Here's what I found.
Speaking of weddings...Amanda's little sister got engaged at Christmas to one of my best friends AJ! This is great news and we can't wait to join them on Vancouver Island in August for their big day! Congratulations, E-Bo and Slayer!!

85. Australia
When we were making our list we actually put Australia on it thinking there was no way it would ever happen. But, Amanda figured that because we would be a lot closer, that it would at least be in the realm of possibilities. We have both always wanted to go and when our friends Dane and Kirsten invited us to spend Christmas with them...we were so excited!
64 down...36 left to go!!!

76. Eat roti canai and sambal bunchies in Malaysia
Before we moved to Asia our friends Brad and Leah introduced us to a restaurant in Edmonton called TROPIKA. We had never had Malaysian food before we went there, but we immediately fell in love with the Malaysian dishes on the menu.
While we were in Malaysia it was super easy to find roti; it was everywhere. Spicy green beans were a lot harder to find. Maybe it's like vermicelli in VietNam...more of a western food than an actual dish you can find in the country itself. We ate enough curries and noodles to make up for no sambal bunchies!
63 finished...37 left to go!
