Macau pictorially

Macau was fun, but it's no Las Vegas. They may make more gambling revenue than Atlantic City and Vegas combined but that's cause it's the only thing to do. Vegas has all those shows and theme parks plus they speak English. Plus they have Hoover Dam. Plus you don't need six months on your passport to get in. Vegas-4 Macau-1 (for having the world's biggest casino). 

In terms of culture we saw some cool stuff and got a glimpse of China but I think Hong Kong has more to offer. Not to say I didn't have fun- thanks for taking us Graeme!

Graeme waiting to collect his flock :) For some reason I really like this one
The crew resting up before dinner
Anna and a suit of armor + a building and palm tree
View from the ferry as we departed
These are not in order... but here is China! Note the environmentally friendly windmills
The new University they are building at Macau (what? Who told you it was a casino?! ) 
Fatty Olympic dude, love him
The facade of an old church, or a gate? I think I missed the part where they told us the purpose of this structure but I think it was important cause we had to walk up a lot of steps to get there. 
And then there were 3... we're a dying breed around here apparently- we missed you Sarah! 

So there you have it. We missed the Mosque though!
