We took the TurboJet over, taking about an hour of travel time. We were able to hit up all of the major touristy sites by 13:00. The boat ride to, was definitely a boat ride where you can feel the waves. The ride back was on one of the actual faster boats where in concept it's a hoover type craft on a ski, that allows it to go faster. It was smoother, but a lot louder inside.
The Portugeses influence in food, culture and architecture is really interesting. There's tile work everywhere. I don't know why I didn't think to look at any shops for tiles to try to take back. Maybe this calls for a trip to Portugal or Spain. It was amazing to see these old buildings still standing. It's interesting to see the little 'convenient' type stores that have a couple bottles of waters to sell. The motor bikes over there are insane. We took a bus, taxie and walked to see a lot of the bigger sites.
The amount of portable ac units that everyone has is a big amount. That is definitely something of a mandatory over here for everyone. Must have ac. I know it is nice to have that luxury with the heat and humidity. It is just everywhere you look there. are these big ac units that are turning black and cables running everywhere off of/ through it. It is just off the hook in the abundance. I am sure there is something I am missing here as into why ac wall units are used over here.
Despite the crowds of Asian tourist that have no concept of your personal bubble, it was a very interesting place to see and experience.
You can't definitely feel the difference between Macau and Hong Kong. When we wre on our way here and we spent a couple of hours in the Beijing airport, there was this odd feeling. That something was off or not right. That same feeling was apparent in Macau. It's a beautiful place once you get away from the casinos. The buildings, the tiles, the people and the daily life. Trying to describe all of this is going to take time.
As for this post of just words, more thoughts later.
