My Apartment in Macau

Friends back home were asking what my living conditions are like in China so here are pictures of my apartment on the island of Taipa in Macau, China (SAR). These are pictures of the place before I moved in.

This is the view from my living room windows. Just over the river there you can see mainland China.

Taipa is the island next to Macau. My island of Taipa has a large expat community (lots of Westerners) so it’s very comfortable and not much of a culture shock. I have two large grocery stores within a 30 second walk and plenty of great restaurants – Italian, Mexican, Portuguese, Thai, American, Indian, Chinese and French.

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.
