Macau

On Sunday I needed to go to Macau to activate my working visa. I was really lucky as Candy - a really nice Hong Kong Chinese girl accompanied me. Macau is an island 65km west of Hong Kong. The Special Administrative Region of Macau is "Chinese Las Vegas" as it's the only place in China where gambling is legal.

Tough, Candy and I preferred to walk through the streets rather than spending money in casinos. The ruins of the church of St. Paul is one of the most famous scenes in Macau. Once it was a Jesuit church. But in 1835 a fire destroyed the church - with the exception of the portal, statues and engravings you see on the picture below.

As Macau once was a Portuguese colony, you find Portuguese street names as well as buiscuits and other sweet stuff everywhere. And what's best: cookies are for trial ;)

Buddhism and Christianity are equally represented within the city centre.
