The local government is very determined to turn the city into the 2nd Las Vegas, and local pros are simply too "friendly" and "affordable" to pass up. That said, I must admit that there's more to the city than people think. I like that it's got a lot of history built into it, the locals are friendly and less money-minded. Life is simple is Macau in a sense that because it's so small there really isn't much to do, so you're almost forced to pay closer attention to your surroundings and learn to apprceciate the little things in life. I went there for a retreat by myself last year, and that's where I'd finally figured out the purpose of my existence (i.e. to drink until eyes bleed and continue being a loser).<br /><br />I will always like Macau the way it is - an old Hong Kong with a slight Portuguese twist.<br /><br />Chrissy the Self-degrading SpecialistIsabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01893405490877114708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004769.post-1106226868487498242005-01-21T00:14:00.000+11:002005-01-21T00:14:00.000+11:00ahhh i love Macau

Silly me had not brought my passport with me so I could not board the ferry to get there, leaving Alex to go spend the day there solo.<br /><br />My friend Jack with whom I was staying convinced me to buy a Nikon SLR camera, given they were relatively affordable in Hong Kong and as I now had the day spare.<br /><br />That was the start to my (renewed) interest in photography and I haven't looked back since.<br /><br />Mikey.Michael Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431619090688546034noreply@blogger.com
