Macau Dos and Don'ts

Filled with proper hookers from around the world! A veritable UN of hookers! Stay in the old Lisboa hotel. Filled to the brim with hookers. The check-in desk will toss you off if you ask nice!

I went to Macau during my trip to Manila. I was curious to see the city that belonged in the past to the Portuguese Impire for so many decades. To get there is very easy, you can fly or take the ferry from Hong Kong, I toke the ferry. The city is very crowded, massive turists invade the streets everyday like bees in the hive! The most charming is the ambiance from the back streets, you can see stores that have not yet felt the wind of change, they still look like 50 years ago. Macau is a city to visit shortly, one or two days are enough, but worse it.

Macau is a small city full of entertainment sites for tourist wanting to relax and enjoy the taste of cantonese food. This city becomes a favorite place for gambling fanatics too making Macau as the Las Vegas of Asia. Inspite of the rising modern hotels in the area, still those old, Portuguese style building is still an attraction. Tourist can take a taxi, bus or a cable. Communication is very difficult as most of the locals can't speak English.

It reminded me of Las Vegas. Lots of lights and mostly devoted to gambling.

Great ruins of St-Paul. All that remains of the greatest of Macau's churches is its magnificent stone facade and grand staircase. The church was built in 1602 adjoining the Jesuit College of St. Paul's, the first Western college in the Far East where missionaries such as Matteo Ricci and Adam Schall studied Chinese before serving at the Ming Court in Beijing as astronomers and mathematicians. The church, made of taipa and wood, was brilliantly decorated and furnished, according to early travelers. The facade of carved stone was built in 1620-27 by Japanese Christian exiles and local craftsmen under the direction of Italian Jesuit Carlo Spinola.
