Macau July 18, 2005

We went to Macau while we were In Hongkong since it was just a ferry ride away. Although you have to go through immigration it wasn't such a hassle so we decided to spend one whole day visiting church ruins and a glamorized city known for its title as " the Las Vegas of Asia". It has indeed the ambiance of Las Vegas except for the humidity.  I enjoyed our adventure walking around a place which was once a colony of Portugal. But just like Hongkong it has been handed back to its rightful owner , China. Joel and I were fascinated with all the things that we saw. Since it was 4 years ago I cant even remember the names of the bridge, buildings, statues that we saw.  We had dinner at a nice Portugese restaurant which was mostly run by filipinos. They were so nice and welcoming. Funny on our way home I have a very vivid memory of walking through the casino's realizing we were lost and we need to find our way back to the pier so that we can catch the last trip of ferry ride going back to Hongkong. We also did some more shopping there. Joel got a nice shoes that he still owns and wear to this day.
