Best Western Sun Sun Macau Peninsula

only had a couple of days in Macau and I had a small bout of swine flu, although it could not have been too bad as I managed to pass through all the body temperature scans without any problems. It also rained a lot as a big typhoon was heading to shore - you might have seen it on the news as it ended up devastating Taiwan and the south of China. So with my swine flu and ...

Bloed**weise war das Macaupi** natu**lich das letzte in d** Reihe und wir mussten uns** ganzes Gepaeck die Hafenpromenade entlangschleppen, was in d** Mittagshitze eh** we***** Spass war. Irgendwann hatten wir dann auch den Eingang gefunden und konnten ein Ticket fu** den "Turbojet" kaufen. Wir hatten eigentlich gedacht, es wu**de eine gemuetliche Bootsfahrt an den Inseln entlang, ab** weit gefehlt. D** Turbojet war dann wirklich eh** d** F**rari unt** den ...

... kicks in and slows you down too. When Sam and Dennis came back up after doing their jump I thought "sod my blood pressure/asthma/heart condition, I'm going to do this" so I signed all the consent forms saying I'm a healthy-happy chappy and into the harness I stepped (no Donna, it wasn't as "hilarious" as Go Ape that time!!) and up I stepped. Good God it was incredible. The view alone was something - was so high up you could see all of Macau peninsula and the two ...

... we got off the plane, the weather was rainy and gloomy, and we all worried that it would stay the same for the next few days. However, we have been having fantastic weather so far, and we are hopeful that the sun will shine for the next 3 days as well. The hotel is a brand new one, very clean, and in a very good location (close to West Street where we usually have breakfast and/or dinner and we go shopping). The children are remarkably well behaved, mature, and responsible. We ...

... to a temple and Martitime Museum before taking a bus back to the ferry terminal. I didn't have enough time to see all the things I wanted to see but I got a good idea as to what Macau was all about. It would be good to come here for a couple of days and experience the casinos and hotels. Slept and alittle on the ferry going back to Hong Kong and ate at a Taiwanese restaurant near to the hostel.

... much different than the last two trips over to the south side of the island that I've taken. We headed through Stanley Market before I realized that it was on the other side of the street but hey, a stop of McDonald's for breakfast was in order so all worked out. If I remember right, it was already a balmy 31C outside so everyone was cooking quite nicely. After our brief breakfast, we headed back through the market ...

... painting. Previously the misty or empty spaces and great towering mountains were something of a mystery to me, and while I found the imagery interesting it did not convey a feeling of depth in the same way that Western perspectivalism did. That preconception os swept away by Lantau, where the vistas match the artistry of landscapes so well you gain a whole new appreciation for the complexity of Chinese landscapes, as the mists ...

... was my duty as a student and traveler to have my passport with me. I kept apologizing and knew that the laundry woman was going to come back at any second and straighten everything out. She came running back and said, rather definitively, "It's not there." "But that's impossible," I said a little franticly. "It's definitely there." Rita had had enough. "We're coming with you to your room. We're going to have to go through all your things." I knew I had no choice, and by now I was ...
