So, basically when we were walking around and getting frustrated while trying to figure out the bus system I saw a pedicab and decided that would be our public transportation. We greeted the driver, pointed to a picture on his list of options that looked historical, paid him the money, and hopped on.
We took in the sights around Macau, walked through a historical district, and then walked our way back to the ferry. Looking at the map and using the powers of the internet it looks as if we walked five miles in 103 "real feel" temps. I don't ever say the real temps because the real feel communicates what it's like here much more than the actual temp. I think it was in the low 90s with 85% humidity or so. It was quite the experience. I drank a 1.5L bottle of water in about 2 hours and had more water later in the day. I peed once at the very end of my day.
We were intrigued when we saw this building and wondered if it was connected to the Water Cube in Beijing. It turns out it's just a casino modeled after the Water Cube. Yup, Macau is kind of tacky. |

When we were at a stoplight on the pedicab I saw this man and woman with their sleeping child walking on the crosswalk. |

I took this pictures of this flower shop for my mother specifically because I knew she'd love walking in there. The whole place was about 10 feet wide. |
This is the only street I've seen this empty the whole time I've been in Asia. |
Can you tell I'm melting? |
This sculpture is called the Asian Arch. We were kind of disappointed and thought it would be cooler. It just sits in the middle of a traffic circle and looks rusty. |
I can't remember exactly what this is, but I have a vague memory of maybe it being a church or a chapel. |
