Casinos in Macau 
In MacauNext we went through a crazy series of checkpoints again...China, Macau and then Hong Kong...another four stamps in my passport in one day.
Macau was a Portuguese province so it was a fun blend of cultures. We went to a A-ma Temple, Fisherman's Warf and the facade of a burned out Catholic church. One highlight was a Portuguese egg tart...which was the first non-rice meal I had eaten and I didn't care the consequences as it was completely fabulous. Macau has an amazing skyline, shopping and very feng shui casinos.
We took a huge ferry to Hong Kong and that was the final destination for our trip. It was nice to be in one place for a few days. Hong Kong was much easier for me to get around as many signs were in English. The metro was great...the shopping is as great as you hear and I was feeling up to eating whatever. It was great. We went to a science museum, took a water tour, had dim sum, and I even found a great little Pakistani shop to make custom made clothes and we just generally had a lovely time.
