( Gerry's - in Macau 30/04/07)
Macau is more interesting that it is given credit for.
It is more than HK gambling capital, which it is but
it also has the wonderful old portuguese chinatown.
Probably more chinese than most chinese cities now.
In china they have destroyed and rebuilt everything at
break neck speeds. At least that's what I saw a year
or so ago.
My guesthouse is really strange. It's not very clean.
But the shared bathrooms are really nice. It's an
old chinese house with 3/4 walls so you can hear the
neighbour snore. I didn't like it much last night but
I got a better feel this morning so I'll stay another
day. Furthermore it was the cheapest in the book.
Actually, I am paying more for tonite and I have a
little balcony which over looks the street and I m not
shoved off into a windowless dark cubby hole.
In a couple of hours I really got off on the food.
This is cantonese country. They talk almost to the
point that I can understand. The foods like if my
father had cooked it. It's not cheap though. 3 bucks
would be a going price for Ho fun (rice noodles) fried
noodles. Hey, it's coming home!
Well I got to go. I got on at 5 to six and this place
closes at 6. Pickup my Chinese visa in one day but it
cost me. 55 bucks. In three days, its still 25 bucks
and I don't think theres that much in Macau to stick
around. Computers were not cheap and the computer
market is very small.
So tomorrow its on the ferry to Hong Kong. Only for a
day or so then into China for a few days.
