Macao - Land of Casinos

Been in China a long time now but now was the first time I had the chance to go to Macao, last time I tried there was so much mist that boat would have been 4 hours late and didn't want to wait that long...It's a Ferry trip from Hong Kong that takes just about 1,5 hours and is fairly cheap. One Person is about 20 Euros.

I took a tour buss that went around the island but that was a total rip off...It didnt really stop at any cool scenic places so after 1h rid with it I just hailed a cab and went exploring the map by my own and it was much more fun. Macao is like mix of Europe and Asia at the same time. Some houses are chinese while some western and the roads are build just like in Europe. It only feels "half abroad" to come here expect for the fact that everywhere you look all people are Asian...

Taoism, these slippers have served me 2 years, love em, 1 euro :)

Macao was a colony for the Portuguese and given back to Mainland China about 10 years ago. Like Hong Kong it still enjoys things that are not allowed in Mainland. You can surf the internet on Facebook and there is press freedom here etc.

Is it Italy or is it China?

Macao is like the Vegas in Asia, there are Casinos everywhere! I went to the biggest and most "famous" for it's architecture. Even manage to win enough money to get my boat tickets paid :) The building looks like a huuuuuge flower!

Tried to shoot it down with the old fort cannon

From 1860

Many buildings from the 19th century still stand in the city and the government here has done a great job to preserve them

There was a "massage walk" which I would call the walk of pain. Small stones put into the concrete to walk on. Chinese massage believes that there are spots under your foot that stimulates certain organs in the body when pushing them. So, this should have stimulated my entire body, it HURTED a lot! Did it twice :)

Macao even had an own Colosseum! Was very much like the one in Rome
