March 3, 2015 - Parade and Manila

I have lost track of the weeks so I don't know where I am with them.

Last week the girls were in a Chinese New Year Parade for Capoeira (that went very late as they were home at 11PM).  Sophia was upset that she was not in yet another parade last week.

Then we went to Manila - as Matt was getting stir crazy in Macau while I was away.  It was a great family break - Matt did not have to work much.  I liked Manila - it was a more affordable(ish), more cowboy version of Singapore.  Super Westernized.


The girls played in the park:

We were lucky to be able to make use of a cabana at Solaire Casino.  We later tried to use a pool in the serviced apartment we were in - and the water was way too cold!
