... 530 HKD. Sitten vain ilmaisella bussikyydilla hotellille. Lahdimme etsimaan iltapalaa ja eksyimme vanhan kaupungin sokkeloisille kujille. Mieleista ruokapaikkaa ei tahtonut loytya ja suurin osa kuppiloista oli jo mennyt kiinni iltayhdeksan jalkeen. Lopulta repaisimme ja menimme - yllatys, yllatys - Pizza Hutiin syomaan Meat Lover's Pan Pizzaa ja joimme pitserillisen Pepsia. Olipas varsinainen etnoelamys! Mutta herkutteluhetki oli kylla ...

... out our departure cards and with only a couple of minutes to spare, got through Customs unscathed. Phew, that got the adrenalin running ;) So, about an hour later, we were in Macau. We could see the character of the place straight away, with the Portuguese buildings. Very interesting mix of West meets East. We then hoped on a local bus and headed to one of the tourist spots - the Historic Centre. Well that ...

... subject, me. I was offered the opportunity to act as the player coach in a couple of games for my school football team. I of course jumped at the chance. Playing in my favoured position of the all over the pitch guy in my first game I scored a hat-trick, I got 4 assists and made a last minute almost deliberate goal line clearance in my teams 8-7 victory. In that game I scored a completely accidental 40 yard volley and a stunning 20 yard drive into ...

... myself that if I had to crawl across the finish line, I would do it. By the end of November, the long runs were done, and the only thing left was mental preparation. Luckily, I was able to get one of the other foreign teachers to teach my Saturday classes at Bond so I was able to go to Macau the day before the marathon instead of in the evening after a long day of teaching. My friend Liz was coming from Canada for a visit, and would be there to ...

... who said it looked like they weren't going to sell a ticket to us, so we decided to go to the main bus station. We encountered the same problem there, BUT there was a guy standing by with a private car who said he could take us there for 100RMB each, which would end up being double what the bus would have cost. We thought it was a little pricey, but thought we would pay it, as we really wanted to go. Another guy was going to join us, and all of a sudden the ...

... culture.. It is definitely a port for casinos and opportunities for development. This SAR has the word construction written on the corners of the streets, new casinos are in the works. Unfortunately I did not get to eat the famous almond cookies and beef jerky. I have, however, visited the Venetian and other casinos. The ...

... are all in the western design. There are European trees on the streets. I've walked by churches. Portugese (ergo European) architecture dominates. Streets have latin street signs; 'de amaral' or 'traverssa de fortitude' or 'jose.' And just as well, nearly every Chinese sign has a Portugese translation, so I can understand what the stores are! It's not English, but I understand it well enough so it might as well be! I feel like I'm somewhere that's like home. Hooray for Macau!

... No Chinese from the mainland could get in and the place became so rough that even the HK residents decided it wasn't worth the trouble for a quick flutter. Portugal washed its hands of the place and it went to complete seed. Until 1999, when the Chinese decided that as they'd got Hong Kong, they might as well go for the full house (nice gambling reference there) and they agreed to take back Macau. And since then, it's become a major success story. The ...
