Macau's name is derived from its temple A-Ma-Gau or rather a corruption of its name by the Portuguese. As you can see from the picture above, when you find yourself at Largo do Senado you could be forgiven for thinking you actually are in Portugal. This week-end came as a good break from the shopping cities of the area (Singapore, Kuala, Jakarta) where apart from spending money on consumer's goods there is no much to do. In Macau you can surely spend as well (especially if you are a gambler) but there is more than enough to keep you busy for a whole week-end otherwise. The only downpoint was the extremely hot weather that made me sticky sweaty for two days but the other good thing is that you can easily catch a bus for 2,5 MOP (20 Euro cents) anywhere in the city.
