We have several days without updating, as we are squeezing the maximum time we can. We leave for several days in Hong Kong, and we've done a couple of new things.
If Hong Kong is spectacular by day, is at night when it reaches its maximum splendor.
The lights of the skyscrapers from the other side of the bay are impressive enough, and if prepared over a symphony of light for tourists, the better.
But being here, we could not miss a visit to Macao, which is like Las Vegas but in Chinese. So we took a ferry to spend a couple of days. And for a change, passport in hand, again because we changed the system (or country, or whatever). And we had forgotten how educated they are our friends the Chinese, so that after a long fight in line at passport control, we went to Macao.
Surprise! We seem to have taken a plane and be in Lisbon. As a former Portuguese colony, Macao preserves many of the European-style buildings to the street names in Portuguese. So at home, were it not for the Chinese nustros sympathetic friend.
But there is another thing that stands Macao. His Casinos. Since it is the only place in China where gambling is legalized, so the port area is full of huge casino hotels, with lights everywhere.
Of course we went into one of them, to try his luck as Alex did a while ago. But had not so lucky and lost a little at roulette. Nothing serious, car and all belongings.
Back in Hong Kong, we expected a little stroll through the streets, trying to make a purchase, and still eat Chinese food, it's spectacular.
What else can we say? As we do not want to bore you with what we do every day, try to explain how rare are the Chinese.
We have recovered a bit the feeling we had in Hanoi, in terms of personal attention. Coming from Japan, where they are so educated, and come here and fight to get into a bus, is a fact that we have to endure.
also the home to stay in China people to sleep, makes us differences between our way of life and theirs. For example, when here comes the husband home, sits on the table and the woman then pulls a dish to the table and prepare the meal quickly, lest they herniate. Of course not tread the kitchen or to escape a possible fire, and cooking and thinking.
But they are good people, here comes the photo from our weekend hosts. Today we left his house and we expect another house, where vamoss to dinner with the family china. We'll see ...
Also in table manners are quite different. Talking with your mouth full is not a problem and burping down the street must be a symptom of good health ... But do not believe it is very exaggerated, and they do all. I have deep Carinya.
So, until next time, and if what you want is us not to continue reading the blog, a transfer to the following account number fixes everything. 4564316514641646146514641651465
Good luck, and who knows if we make another trip soon ... heading to Hanover Quay.
