Tweets Unite

Hong Kong is having a Tweet-Up for us Stef tonight in Tsim Sha Tsua. Helps to be friends/traveling with a Twitter celeb!

dailybaxter: Let me explain this one to you. First, they stuffed me into a giant stocking.  They were snickering like crazed hyenas the whole time.  I tried to fight, but they ganged up on me.  They said it would be a creative Christmas card.  And funny too! Oh really. I’ve got my own concept.  It’s Lou Ferrigno inspired. Get it? I’m bursting at the seams with holiday cheer. I might have looked like I was sleeping last year, but I was assessing the structural integrity of that thing the whole time. Who’s snickering now, suckers! ROFL LMAO (and all those other stupid Web acronyms that seem somewhat appropriate here). Or how about a simple “I DIE.” Baxter, you slay me.

Daily Travel Porn: Macau skyline, 2009 Good-bye, Macau. It’s been lovely, but now I’m off to your big sister, Hong Kong, and Lantau Island for a couple days!

Good-bye, Macau. It’s been lovely, but now I’m off to your big sister, Hong Kong, and Lantau Island for a couple days!

I saw at least 10 weddings this weekend in Macau. This couple was getting photographed atop the Macau Tower. She’s wearing wings! Love.

Dinner Tonight: The Bazaar by Jose Andres.

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS I am so excited. We’ll probably go with the chef’s tasting menu: I’m debating whether to buy a bottle of wine when we get there or just enjoy a cocktail with our meal.

SO EXCITED

SO EXCITED

SO EXCITED

(No special occasion…just celebrating life, good food, and our recent successes at work. Also, it makes me LOL when Kevin says stuff like “And WHY didn’t you tell me how much this was going to cost when you made reservations??” I just LAUGH and laugh and laugh and say something about how Andres charges by the molecule!)

I think this very well might be my favorite restaurant in the country, if not the whole world. I ate there when it first opened to review for our Frommer’s LA guide, and HOLY CRAP, I would drive back down to LA just for another dinner there. That. Good.

(Also? The hotel itself totally doesn’t suck. Best rooms ever.)

A-ha! Now, I see the appeal of the Grand Prix for 99% of its attendees. These “umbrella girls” are everywhere, in a variety of scantily-clad costumes. Slutty-dressed Asians—it’s like every man’s dream! (Not to mention, every woman’s envy.) Also, on a similar note, I saw my first posse of “working girls” out the other night. It was jarring and a bit fascinating at the same time.

Back to the 'OHH' in Ohio.

Today I met three people from Ohio. Considering I live across the world from O-H-I-O, thats pretty amazing.

I met one yesterday on the top of the Macau Tower! Ohioans sure get around.

We went to an Italian restaurant for dinner where the Italian Grand Prix team was dining, as we are all burnt out on Macanese cuisine, and ordered four types of gelato for dessert. The flavors—apple, orange, coconut, pineapple—all came served in carved out fruits. How cute is that?!

I was so tired today after the past two nights out and days spent walking the city and attending the Grand Prix that I couldn’t even be bothered to shower or wash my hair before dinner (that would take time away from my nap, you see). So I just threw it in a terrible bun in my rush to get ready, though I really hate not wearing my hair down, as I’m so broad shouldered I look like a linebacker with my hair up (it’s true). This dress is one of my favorites; I bought it a few months back at Bloomie’s for a party with Kate and Meg, and I definitely have already gotten my money’s worth. I normally wear silver accents with it, but as I mentioned, I only pack shoes and accessories in one color scheme per trip, and this time happened to be gold.

After the event was over, Stef, Aly and I went to pose in front of Wentworth’s poster, since we didn’t get close enough to him to get a photo, and then all of a sudden, all these random Macanese and Chinese men started asking us to take pictures with them. Either they thought we were famous, or else they’d never seen three blondes in one place before.
