Took the hydro ferry for a nice day trip to Macao. The weather is great and this is a cool set of islands. Coloane has a relaxing beach of black sand, perfect swimming. Saw some highway signage that had been ripped from the ground from a prior typhoon.
Macau is becoming the Asian version of Las Vegas gambling haven. The large hotels that shoot skyward and many are still under construction, are a bit disturbing.
But went and saw Cirque du Soliel’s new show called “Zaia” in the Venetian Macao. It’s about a little girl’s dream /journey into space, where she to gains a better perspective on her and humanity’s relationship to Earth’s environment. A perfect story for a polluted part of the world, no?
Small review and a strictly tourist pictures from Macau, soon.

Cirque du Soliel in Venetian Macau
This place is way too opulent, but a great show. I’ll write more about it soon.
Venetian Hotel Macau China
did they spare any expense when building this place? It’s sort of ironic that it is so over the top while the “Zaia” show is about being more in touch with our natural environment.
Coloane and the black sands
Dinner, beach, moon, bus.
PS: The famous good almond cookies on the street…
PPS: ..also fantastic custard tarts of Macau.
