Macau - the good old days
Last week, I talked about the new and grand hotels in Macau. In fact, at the moment, I was missing the Macau in its good old days.
After the huge investments from the Las Vegas corporates and some local entertainment companies, the Macau has been changed drastically. It just like a simple country girl suddenly changed into a Hollywood star. Too gorgeous, too lousy, too commercial for its “old fan” like me.
When Macau was still a quiet small town, when it was still not yet developed, it was rather attractive and with lots of cultural elements. The quiet small streets, the European style churches and buildings, the slow pace, are all my favourites. I used to spend a short weekend there from time to time, to enjoy the good food, to walk around the small streets and churches to take many pictures, to sit on the bench along the sea to have some quiet time during the sunset.
So I miss the good old Macau, let me share with you some of my impressions and memories of Macau. You would be able to tell the great differences.

Isn’t there a lot of gambling and casinos in Macau?
Dear David,
Yes, there are lots of casinos in Macau. And recently there are several Las Vegas gambling companies invested into Macau and they have opened some grand and luxurious hotels and casinos there.
Macau is changing rapidly. You could get some impressions of the new development of Macau from one of my previuos posts: http://wewe-wetwet.com/?p=292.
