This was awhile back, but 3 years ago a bunch two of my aunts took a bunch of cousins back to Hong Kong. While there we also visited Macau, which was just an hour ferry boat ride away. We ate at the top of this tower that overlooked the whole city. There was a museum with all sorts of artifacts and historical information and that led out to the [...]
