I’m presently in New Zealand and have bungy jumped a handful of times – but the biggest was the Nevis which was only a mere 134 meters. I never thought I’d say that – until I read about your jump in Macau. Can’t wait to read more about it!

You’re so right! Macau is a gorgeous mix of East and West. They have all these gorgeous buildings that gives you an old world feel, and you have these towering casinos and hotels all light up brightly at night. Yet you can turn one corner and you’ll be in a place that’s decidedly Asia. The main language is Chinese (Mandarin), but the streets names and signs are both in Chinese and Portuguese!
There are also plenty of Filipinos working there. We found that in most of the places we went to, there’s at least one service staff who’s Pinoy.
]]>Macau sounds like an eclectic mix of Asian and European, but somehow very distinct in its own way. I bet their holidays are pretty interesting! Do they typically speak Chinese there, or are there bits of Portuguese mixed in? 😉
]]>ahgarcera: Masarap! Just don’t look down, di ka matatakot 😀
Mai: Yup, they still have the buffet. I love our itinerary… it showed that there really is more to Macau than just the casinos 😀
