That’s why I’ve never met anyone. I see. Yeah, I guess it attracts people with all the European vibes. But after being a while in China, Macau is quite different than China though.

haha well, that was one of the only English signs I saw. It was on touristy area, so I guess it was required. But street signs and menu… everything is in Portuguese and Cantonese.

Almost nobody speaks Portuguese in Macau, mostly it’s Portuguese or Brazilian tourists. I guess they keep the bilingual signs as a tourist attraction. Aside from some historical buildings, Macau is just your average Chinese city.

Comment on Runaway to Sister’s City: Austin, Texas, USA by Erica Kuschel by Kevin - The Mad Traveler

Austin is awesome. Food and music, food and music, food and music. Juno, did you ever see my Austin video? Done on my crappy old Sony W1 but you get the point.

Hoping to get back there again soon. Some of us Madison people like to think of Austin as a sister city. (Similar Keep It Weird university town vibe). But then I guess she’d be a BIG sister.

Comment on Why You Need an Extra Hour While Traveling by James

I can certainly relate to this. With friends and family spread out all over, I frequently travel but hardly ever leave enough time to get through the airport without feeling very stressed out and having to run! I must learn to leave plenty early to set the journey off on the right foot.

Hey! I heard about your blog from my friend Lauren at Neverending Footsteps. It’s awesome to see a Korean female travel blogger out there. I lived in Seoul for two months at the beginning of my trip. I was in Macau too in September. I had their famous pork chop in a bun… and it was just uninspiring. I do love Portuguese egg tarts though! I have to check out your blog from now on. Keep up the good work!

hmm ok so if they don’t speak English in Macau why are there signs in English (last photo) contrary to what you wrote? Seems to me Cantonese, Portuguese and English are on the signs in your photo because I could read the English letters .

I learned something I never heard about Macau (yes I knew it existed) but had no idea what was there, or what it was like until I saw your post .

Seems I missed the highest bar from that list, damn! Oh well, there is always something to do when visiting Hong Kong the next time

I suppose you could add to the list that Mong Kok in Kowloon has the highest population density in the world!
