Macau, City of God or Shithole
Monday, March 7, 2005-9:09 PM
City of the Name of God
This Saturday, finally, we're going to Macau. In Chinese, it's called "Au Men" which I used to get confused with European Union, "Ou Meng". But that doesn't matter.
What matters is that Natasha has her papers to get into Macau, and I have my visa to get back into China. We're gonna get on a bus and three hours later, be in the Special Administrative Region Macau, famous for it's casinos and "racy" nightlife.
A brief history of Macau:
1513-Portuguese come to Macau.
1999-Macau returns to the PRC.
Last weekend, after our plans to go to Macau had to be canceled, and I was feeling very disappointed, an Australian girl tried to console me.
"Don't worry. I've heard it's a shithole."
Well, shithole or no shithole, that's where we're going.
