Visit done on May 1997
The Bridge at the entry of the Harbour . One of the fast Catamarans that do the link between Hong Kong and Macau can be seen on the left . | |
There was a ceremony in the Budhist temple at the south of the main island . It was surprising to see so much colours coming out like that . | |
Inside the temple , at the entry . | |
Now back to the city to discover some particular shops of Macau . Here a fish shop . The name of the shop are in Chineses and Portugese . Easy to do the translation !!! | |
Another shop , that could be called a garage in Europe . The hability of the Ebenist was astonishing . Here no translation !!! Macau is full of furniture factories , and shops , and you can reproduce everything you want . The main problem is the humidity (in May circa 80 to 95%) , and the wood will not survive to a travel in Europe . | |
Another speciality of Maucau , the production of fire-works . Here a shop , The funniest point there is that you can buy some of them but you cannot go aboard the ferries with them . | |
A typical Chinese Pharmacy , full of "bizarre" thing flaating inside glass pots !!! . The owner of this one is a real business-man as he also sales cigarettes !!!! . | |
Street market down town . They look better organised that the one I have seen in Hong Kong. | |
On the other side of the see leg , the democratic Republic of China. Macau should be back to China in 1999. In the center the main monument in Macau. | |
The same moniument before the invasion of the japanese tourists!!! | |
Old Chinese in a park . Mens are gathered on a side of the park . | |
Women on the other side !!! |
