Lets go to Macau
Mirador Mansions (The building where I was staying in Hong Kong) is a huge block of dirty flats with about 16 floors of small cramped guest houses. The lifts take forever and the area is not the best due to people hanging around outside trying to sell you fake Rolex's or hash for the hundredth time. I also saw a huge rat sprinting along a pipe in one of the corridors near to my room.
The thought of another night in a tiny dorm plus a snoring man at the Cosmic Guesthouse was enough to send a shiver down my spine, so I decided a trip to Macau and a change of scenery would be in order. As it happens Yumi was heading to Macau to sort out her Chinese visa. So we decided to head out early and we caught the First Ferry to Macau. Once we got to the other side of passport control (and another stamp in the passport - pls note Gina and Rachel) we jumped on a bus to check out hotels and guest houses in the area.
After checking in we found a small local restaurant to try some dumplings. They were very cheap but also a bit cold, I managed to eat a lot and left full holding my belly. In the afternoon we took a bus to the Grand Prix and Wine museum, the wine museum was Yumi's idea but unfortunately we only got to sample one glass.
In the evening we had a few beers, toasted my last night in Macau and Yumi leaving busy Hong Kong whilst watching some bizarre Chinese game show on TV.
