We're back from Macau! :)
It was a fun trip, overall. Everybody enjoyed, and Dennis kept thanking me for arranging everything. Told him it's my pleasure. The trip was, after all, partly his birthday gift. And partly our gift to his parents for their birthdays as well. It was a good trip, with a healthy mix of shopping, sightseeing, eating (a lot!), gambling (a bit!) and just hanging out and being together. It was a great family vacation, and I look forward to the next ones :)
I realized something from the trip though. Every family has its own culture. Much like country-level culture, each family has its own language, its own set of rules, its own ways of thinking and own methods of operating. Throughout the trip, I made so many comparisons between the Chans and my family, esp during points when I felt disoriented because my family's "way" was so different from theirs. I guess it just boils down to making adjustments, not making comparisons and just appreciating a family for their own virtues. They do love me, and for that I am very grateful.
