Anna and I went to Macau yesterday and our theme song was Indiana Jones. We were adventurous. Well, we tried to be. It was hard to feel brave when the ferry seemed more like an airplane. But it was rainy so we were the only white folks in Macau except for two cute Austrian guys we met on the boat ride over.

It was really really fun. Macau is a cool place. Its like Hong Kong, only instead of being owned by Britain it was owned by Portugal for hundreds of years. There's lots of colonial Portuguese arctitecture that is really pretty and brightly colored. All the signs were in Portuguese and Chinese so we were doing some 'interpreting' which is similar to making up what you want things to say. We saw all the sights but skipped all the casinos. Most people only go to Macau to gamble. We saw Cathedrals, a fortress, a cemetary, a Chinese garden, a park, and a Portuguese resturant with good sangria. We also got some really good coffee and cake :)

My camera is broken, so I'll put up pics when I get them from Anna.


Today I'm off to Tsim Sha Tsui with Hannah and Beth to shop for art and a dress for Michael and Ashley's wedding. I'm trying to be productive in my last week in Asia, so Friday Hannah and I are heading to the mainland to do the Shenzhen thing. Go me, I'll have gone through immigration 4 times in 5 days.

Peace out Kiddies
