More Macau and Zhuhai pictures

Here are some other pictures from Macao and Zhuhai... We knew we were back in China when there was trash in the water, picture of the Pearl River Delta after just going through customs from Macao to Zhuhai. Seafood drying at a fruit farm in Zhuhai. a baby cow in a parking lot, none of us ever really figured why there were cows there, the parents were eating pineapple scraps. A sweater getting made in a clothing factory, the pieces are made by machine and then sewn together by hand, in case you were interested. Lastly, me in front of the Macau Tower model, in the 360 cafe (in the Macau Tower). To its left is the Pearl Tower in Shanghai, which you can see a picture of from my earlier posts.

      All travels aside I'm doing pretty well, trying to get some of the end of semester work done now so I don't have to spend the last 6 weeks I'm here in a panic. Hope everyone's doing well, stay warm!!!!

Back from Hong Kong/Macau/Zhuhai

Hey everyone!

      Late Saturday night I finally arrived back in Shanghai from our week-long field trip to Hong Kong, Macau and Zhuhai. We visited a variety of different places including the MGM Grand in Macau, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, a chemical factory in Zhuhai and the Chinese University in Hong Kong... I watched the election from my hotel room in Macau, some of the guys in our group actually skipped the first half of the day's activities in order to watch it, all very exciting. Anyway....  

      There's a picture of me on the top of the Peak, which is a famous area of Hong Kong where you can see the entire skyline, we went at night but if you can pick out that building behind me with the criss-crossed lights, that's the building that Batman breaks into in The Dark Knight. That view from the cable car is on our 1 free day in Hong Kong, it's the longest cable car system in the world and goes up a mountain that has the world's largest sitting Buddha on the mountain. The pointed tower is the Macao Tower which is the tallest building in Macau and offers the world's tallest bungy jump (233 meters), 7 of the guys in our group ended up doing it. The last two are one of me on the roof of the MGM Grand Macau by the pool and Granville Road (there's also a Granville Square) by the Hong Kong Museum in Hong Kong.
