Macau (slight return)
by Martin Belam, 19 July 2009
This week I'm going to be paying a lightning visit to Macau. The trip is so short that I'm unlikely to get much chance to blog about it whilst I'm there. Or indeed see anything worth blogging about whilst I'm there. However, I wrote quite a few blog postcards from Macau and Hong Kong last year, and thought it worth putting together a reminder myself of what they were.

I also paid a second visit to Macau last year, just as China was beginning to host the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
