Quick Post from Macau Airport

I’m in the airport on the way out. The connection here is free on CTC WiFi but extremly flaky (even thought the signal strength reads ‘excellent’). Spent the last two days touring around the city/island and seeing most of the major sites (A-Ma Temple, Ruins of St. Paulo, Largo do Senado, Guia Lighthouse, Sands Casino, Lisboa Casino, etc). I didn’t manage to make it to the islands so that will have to be left to another trip. Didn’t win (or lose much) at the casinos but had a great time gaming. I’m now at the airport after much confusion at the imigration desk on how I’d be allowed to enter back to China (they seemed unfamilar with my work visa). My two hour flight on Air Macau (which has turned out to be quite excellent) will put me back in Shanghai around 9pm, right at the tail end of all the trans-Pacific flights, hopefully so I should get home to Xujiahui around 10pm. I’ll put another, more detailed, post online once I’m back in Shanghai.
