We woke up late on Sunday morning and took the bus to San Malo and got some coffee.
This picture is of the old red light district, in it's heyday, the women would stand upstairs in the window and the men would sit in the shops on the first floor playing Mah Jong.
These buildings are just off San Malo, and show the juxtaposition of Portugese architecture in China.
While walking down an alley one of the shops along the way was selling paper goods to burn at Tomb Sweeping day. On this day, people buy paper luxury-goods, including cars and cellphones to burn for deceased ancestors. It is believed that you are providing these things for the deceased in the afterlife.
Below are pictures of some traditional Macau delicacies, almond cookies and dried meat. These foods were excellent for the sea fearing Macanese and Portugese.
This foodstall sign is typical in that it is printed in Chinese and Portugese.
This is a traditonal Chinese house that has been turned into a small museum. Unfortunately, they took the sign down before I was there, and I don't know the history of it.
