So I took a bus from Guangzhou to get here. I almost had issues getting out of the country. I don't look a lot like the photo in my passport, as I'm wearing contacts, and have lots of hair. The border guard had to consult with another guard, and made me take off my glasses... Anyway.
Macau is across the Pearl River delta from Hong Kong. It was a Portuguese settlement. Lots of temples, lots of churches. During one of the dynasties, the Emperor forbid Christianity. Whereas Macau was under Portuguese control, the churches there were allowed to remain open. There are also a lot of casinos - 15 on an island of roughly nine square miles.
Traffic seems to obey more of an order. They drive on the left, which means I'm ultraparanoid about crossing the street.
