Today we took the hydrofoil express boat to the island of Macau. It was a former Portugese colony so there is a large Portugese influence in the culture and the architecture. Another part of the picture is that part of the island is filled with Las Vegas casinos. It is crazy. All the staff and guests are Asian. Almost no one speaks English. Then there is the old part of town which is strictly Chinese. So it is a mixture that works well.
We had a great Chinese lunch in a beautiful restaurant where they gave us chopsticks as well as Western utensils. I guess we confused them.
We made it back on the ferry. It was a rough ride and people were throwing up. Then hopped on the local bus and remembered where to get off. I guess we know our way around this town pretty well. We are, however, getting a bit tired. We have been gone for a month and miss the grandchildren.
