Stato: MACAO (MO)
Macao
The flight of Jetstar airbus 320 brand new from Singapore, after about 3 hours to fly lands on the strange airport in Macau, a former Portuguese colony, I say strange, because here in the piece of land that the Portuguese have won, which is very little, have had to tighten with the construction of houses, a little like Hong Kong, have all gone up with high buildings.
To attract people in this "atoll" overseas Portuguese, were built several casinos for gaming, so i set the time to pass close to ruin, and yes, I say, because really who wins, is what goes, wins and then it goes away with money in your pocket, not what they re used to continue.
The airport strange, because if you look good is built on the sea and is connected to the parking of 2 bridges, one by one to go and come on.
Basically some kind Genoa or Osaka, but this is really ugly and old.
The air Viva Macau and air are the 2 local companies, once reached the TAP Air Portugal to Lisbon, but now no more.
I descend Donato and Luca, the ladder aircraft undergoing the usual slap of humidity and heat, we hasten to enter where there is air conditioning, where we inform you that half used to go downtown Macao.
Is there a bus from there to 10 minutes, I see that the outside of the airport, which is located on an island separated from the mainland, is in the middle of the city, every place was occupied by a building. I see that the road signs are written in Chinese for half and half in Portuguese.
We start with overflowing bus and I realize that there is concrete there, we arrive on the big bridge from the mainland, is over there on the left I see that we are in construction of hotels casino photocopy of those who are in Las Vegas, Stardust, the MGM and also the famous volcano that is in front of the Mirage in las vegas.
Here are a GP Formula 3000 in the city, and the road is the circuit, who knows that when there is the chaos that day.
Only 28 square kilometers and about 600 thousand inhabitants, now that has returned to China, we talk more Chinese Portuguese here are you, 17310 people per square kilometer, just like the big formichine.Scendiamo terminal for boats and catamarans departing for many directions, we make the ticket and go up in 4 and quattrotto on what part of Hong Kong, is gigantic, almost immediately, and part passes under the great bridge, about an hour of travel, I do not think I will go again in Macao, too cement , too many people.
The only good thing of this trip to Macao was the stamp on the passport. hello
