Sunday is haircut

Van HongKong+Macau-April2009

Yesterday and today (after my officework) we strolled in Macau. I'm so surprised to see that the island actually is very small: provided you like to walk for a couple of hours (like we do), all is within walking distance!

Saturday we walked from the seaport, over the skywalk, along the reservoir, all the length of the Avenida de Horta e Costa, then passing the Kiang Wu hospital, mountain up to the landmark of Macau: the front of the Saint Pauls Cathedral. Impressive, how asian and western styles are mixed in that part of the church (the rest was destroyed by fire). Then shopping (still searching for a good camera, but I haven't found any yet!) in the new shopping mall ... nothing much, compared to shopping in HongKong, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur!

Sunday (happy Easter!) we walked the south of Macau, from the famous A-Am temple all the way up to Senado Square. Inbetween, HL had a haircut in the most extraordinary hairsaloon one can imagine: just a container in a lost corner, all very rudimental but the job was well done for 30 Patacas (3 euro). In the sidestreets of the Avenida Ribeirio (opposite of the busstop), the Hongkie Easter Tourists were lining up for some restaurants and candy shops, standing in line is obviously a national sport for tourists :-)

Back in the hotel, HL already booked the tickets from Stockholm to Kuala Lumpur, for the end of this year (special promotion from Malaysia Airlines, better book quickly before the promo is over !), and we enjoyed the Madagascar II movie in the garden of the hotel, free open-air cinema!

And now an early sleep, I want to be fresh tomorrow to work on some courtpapers that need to be ready upon return to the office!
