Changcheng Yingbin Hotel Zhuhai

... with its very moderate rates, makes it one of the most popular cheap hotels in Macau.

As you might expect from a Macau cheap hotel, there's nothing ostentatious about this property, and the staff hardly speaks English, but the guestrooms are fairly decent, both in terms of size and appearance, and come with most of the stuff you need , like air-condition, mini fridge, TV, phone and the likes, as well as a ...

... Chinese “four children” and they always say to me “you are very happy” or “you are very lucky”.

In the West, this discussion would be very different. If I drove a fancy car, lived in fancy house, and bought expensive coffee I would be just like everyone else. If I had 4 children I would be seen as unlucky because I have to pay for them all and for what? Not only that, I would be constantly asked how many ...

... the show room for over an hour. We experimented with the Cappuccino machine making and tasting too many coffee concoctions. However, while waiting for our friend to return we had one of those quintessential family discussions at the table of a large corporate meeting room and talked about everything 'under the sun'. In all our time traveling together we have touched on some subjects and other times the kids heard about what Janice and I ...

... only low labour costs) within a generation they will be very capable to compete for all our English speaking jobs. This is why I decided to 'drop everything' in my life and give my family a 'heads up'on what is coming our way. (Contrary to some's belief that I've gone crazy or have had a midlife crisis!) In a way we are just beginning to see the start of a worldwide change of global power concentration. Ever since the beginning ...

... ground and it scared the hell out of me to be honest! Once lowered back to land, i made the journey back to the top to get my stuff, collect my DVD and wait for Kristy who had jumped off after me. We had a beer to steady our nerves, then headed out for a wander around the city to see the casinos. I think i had a delayed reaction to the jump though, as when heading away from the Tower i suddenly couldnt string a word together let ...

... in Vegas to shame, but it did remind me a little of the Trafford centre but without the chaves with their tracky bottoms tucked in socks. I was strolling down one of the shopping boulevards and to my surprise, saw a Manchester United shop. I knew the mighty reds were popular in Asia but I didn't expect to find a shop in a casino dedicated to the European champions! Didn't see any Liverpool or Chelsea shops :o)

... would have been my bedtime. Scratch that. What was still my bedtime! When we got back to the hotel Nikki was sleeping; her plan to sleep through the tour so she could stay awake to hang out with us worked except for one flaw: we hadn't slept through the tour. But we stayed up much later than I thought I was going to be able to, sharing pictures and talking and giving each other massages. Nikki put me right to sleep massaging my shoulders (which is surprising considering how tense I was ...

... pour nous amener à un point de vue vraiment exceptionnel sur la ville. Ca fait un drôle d'effet d'être là, tout en haut, au calme, alors que là-bas en bas la vie est si frénétique. 32000 photos plus tard, nous redescendons vers le quartier de Lan Kwai Fong, le rendez-vous des expats en costar-cravate (par cette température... bande de malades !!) qui viennent boire des pintes pour 3 fois rien dans les innombrables pubs et bars-boîtes à la mode.

Today we slept in again. it's going to be hard to get back into school routine, waking up early again! We decided to go to the peak today. We caught a ferry to Hong Kong Island and then a taxi to the Peak tram station. We got the tram up to the peak. It was a really steep tram trip up to the top. Once we got to the top, we entered the Peak mall. We took the many escaltors up to the top where we went to the viewing deck ...

... set for even numbered floors and one for the odds. Each elevator fits about 6 people and the kong is warm and humid, oh the humanity! We waited right there with the rest of the people and about ten minutes later we were in the elevator. About five minutes after that we arrived at the 12th floor, this was the absolute slowest elevator in working order I've ever come across and I swear to you we really grew to detest its existance within a day. We found that the 'cyber' was all ...
