Backstreets of Macau

Back streets of Macau. I was back in Macau for another business trip. This time around my friends treated me to an authentic Macaunese-Portuguese restaurant named Dumbo at the Taipa Village. After a hearty meal of steaks and crabs, i wondered around the side streets and took these pictures.

(above) Walk through History. The coble stones of the Forbidden City. I think this is where the film Hero (starring Jet Li) was shot.

(above) Jaguars of the City. The security guards of the Forbidden City. They were so strict and did not allow me to pose with them for a souvenir picture. But that did not stop me from taking their pictures.
