Rockin' it Out: Adventures in Hong Kong: Cheung Chau Island
http://justinandmarisa.blogspot.com/2014/02/adventures-in-hong-kong-cheung-chau.html
Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Friday, February 21, 2014. Adventures in Hong Kong: Cheung Chau Island. But we still managed to take a short hike, eat some great seafood, and just enjoy a day in the sun. The short 30 minute ferry ride to Cheung Chau. After this picture we paid the extra 7HKD to sit upstairs at a table. It was well worth it! Justin got all excited about some random 1996 Atlanta Olympic rings. The mini "Great Wall of China". A little horsing around with fire sticks, why not? Mixing Work an...

Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Saturday, August 31, 2013. Jackson US Summer Tour 2013 - CA. With the hopes of finding a little down time before going back to Hong Kong we spent our last week in Huntington Beach with an overnight trip down to Escondido in North San Diego County. Our time consisted of visiting with family and friends, spending time at the pool and beach, and of course - visiting breweries. Highlights from our time in California:. 1 Brewery tours in North San Diego County. Since two other ...

Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Sunday, March 24, 2013. St Patrick's Day 2013. Although there's not a significant host of Irish descendants in Hong Kong (excluding the ex-pats of course), that doesn't mean that St. Patrick's Day should pass without much ado. Of course my wife who claims to be 1/32-Irish couldn't let this holiday slide by without a themed party with our resident staff colleagues. And let's be honest.who wouldn't be up for some festivities in March? What are the five largest counties in Ir...

Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Wednesday, February 20, 2013. Chinese New Year 2013 - Year of the Snake. For your reference, below is a table of the upcoming years (courtesy of Wikipedia):. There are some variations in the zodiac lineup from country to country. i.e. Cat replaces Rabbit in Vietnam. In the following pictures I'll introduce you to just a couple of decorations and traditions that we've noticed this year. Also ever-popular are the little Mandarin trees. We bounced out of town early this year ...

Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Thursday, June 20, 2013. 30 Years Young: Another day another decade. If every birthday could be like my 30th than it wouldn't be so bad getting old. As many of you already know I love birthdays and mine is no exception especially with such a big one- 30! This year was awesome because I think I had celebrations for almost 2 weeks. Happy Birthday to me with a few photo bombers. Taken with our camera. Nothing says happy birthday like a chocolate molten cake! The actual day fe...

http://justinandmarisa.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Thursday, October 31, 2013. I won't go into all of the details of the emotional rollercoaster leading up to the event, but I will say that it came down to the Thursday before the event on Saturday to reserve sound/light equipment. After going through several different contacts I finally struck gold with a colleague's spouse who had connections with event management. We were able to rent the equipment for next-to-nothing and the quality was excellent. The evening was a succ...

The Simms Family: State Fair
http://simmsfamilylatest.blogspot.com/2010/10/state-fair.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Over the past month not only was Steven in school but he was also having to work 7 days a week on one of his projects at the fair grounds in Perry GA. Nightmare! And that he was awesome at his job! The fair was a lot of fun, but such a culture shock for the English side of me! Case example number 1:. Fair food: aka a mound of grease with no nutrition whatsoever, and ridiculously expensive! A chair lift without snow makes absolutely no sense to me but hey ho! We had an absolute ...

Sunday, August 15, 2010. And the fun begins. So, yesterday was a full day of MBA orientation at Emory.

For the next two weeks. Until May 2011 Hannah and I will both be in classes. We apologize in advance if we do not see you for the next year. Sorry! Posted by Steven and Hannah.

Til rockin' it out goes wrong). Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Easter in Malaysia - Penang. The beach itself wasn't amazing, but our hotel's pool provided the relaxing backdrop that we needed. Other than sitting by the pool we took a half-day tour of George Town to see the colonial town and we frequented a few "food courts" that were probably the highlight of Penang. On our George Town tour we stopped at this Thai Buddhist temple which certainly reflected the distinct style that we'd encountered before. Besides ...
