Char Sui Bao. No better than in Hong Kong

The restaurant Zhang shushu wanted to take us to was closed for renovations.
















So we found another one...

Fresh OJ










































Igreja de San Domingos / St. Dominic's Church


























































Rua Do Cunha? Da San Bai in Chinese. It's the road that goes up to...
















Ruinas de Sao Paulo / Ruins of St. Paul's Church





















This is the big landmark site of Macau. The facade of an old burnt down Cathedral.

Heh. We went to the same bubble tea place in Macau (http://bp2.blogger.com/_bmlpCbfRTYs/RpbyTv5kgnI/AAAAAAAABSY/c8Z5IfK0iRM/s1600-h/2007-05-17-00-22-23-Gabe.jpg), but we got slushies instead because it was so hot in May.
