Awesome Macau


(above) Macau Boat. Seeing Macau for the first time has shattered my misconceptions about the place. It was 1979 when my father and mother visited the island and told me that nothing is to be expected from it. Well, Macau has come a long way. It is now a bustling city dotted with skyscrapers and gargantuan casinos. Yet what is magical with Macau is the old age romantic aura of European city.

I am very amazed of how it was able to achieve this national success while retaining the strong cultural influence of their former Portuguese rulers.
