Macau

Following the Friday of reading and walking at the Book Fair, Saturday morning my family and I took the turbojet and headed to Macau for the weekend! This was my first visit to this former Portuguese colony.

Before this visit, my impression of Macau was strictly defined by its casinos and more or less the almond cookies that had somehow become the local specialty/souvenir.

What I discovered from this trip was that this very small place had a lot more than just casinos. With its World Heritage sites, Macau has so much to offer!

Ruins of S. Paul

Not only has the historic city centre been gentrified for tourism, all the tourists' destinations are very well thought out and planned. I was most impressed by the Ruins of St. Paul, not only because it's the icon of Macau, but this "ruin" was conserved sensibly.
