Actually I'm not proud at all of the Portuguese colonial past - I'm more often ashamed to be honest. Still, in the case of Macao, it was nice to come across some Portuguese cakes that I really like and hadn't had in sooo long. But other than that, I like when places breathe in the influences from somewhere else, instead of it being imposed on them. I visited other former colonies of Portugal before (like Mozambique or Brazil) and there is still a lot of resentment in the air - something I didn't feel in Macao, actually - but this is totally justified. Anyway, glad you enjoyed Macao too! :) Hi Gaetan,

I was in Macao earlier this year in September and I saw this casino from an old street. It looked like an alien ship. I hope you had a great time in Macau; it is really a nice city, with lots of culture ... and after all, it was Portugal's first and last colony in the Far-East. I am sure Zara is proud of this heritage ;) How did it feel to visit the former colony? Really neat pictures from the Grand Lisboa Casino.
