Finally in China

Finally made it to Macau, China – my new residence. Won’t have much time to post for a couple weeks til I get my apartment.

From what I can tell – it appears I have access to all internet websites (I have been able to access major news and all of my own website networks) and major US television networks.

A nice bonus surprise, not all of the food here has the head of an animal in it. *Wipes brow*

Yes, we’re having a LOT of fun here and as you can suspect, it’s a little overwhelming til we all get settled.

Thank you for the prayers and kind emails.

And because of the nature of being in entertainment – we tend to move from town to town a lot too. We do a run til it’s dry or until a better gig comes along – then we graze on greener pastures.
