Our Journey to Thailand

We are on our way to Thailand. We tried to pack light so that we don't have to carry so much stuff around. It started by us leaving our house around noon on Saturday. We had to walk out to the street to catch a taxi to the ferry terminal.
We are on the ferry to Zhuhai. We are flying out of Macau to Bangkok because the flights are really cheap. Macau is the Vegas of Asia so the airfares in and out of the city are really inexpensive. We decided to go a little early so that we could see a little bit of Macau. We had to take a ferry to Zhuhai which is on Mainland China and then walk across the border into Macau. Then we took a taxi to see some of the sites.

Macau is a very interesting place. It was once under Portugal rule until 1999 when it was given back to China. This was two years after Hong Kong was given back. As you go around Macau you can still see the Portuguese influence here. It's pretty cool. Makes me want to go to Portugal some day.
