Christmas Eve in Macau 2007

We had a wonderful trip to Macau - and were hosted by a student at CDNIS, whose dad owned a beautiful hotel - the Landmark. We visited the incredible new Venetian casino and hotel - the world's largest building - and trekked through the old city - a tribute to its Portuguese ancestry. Truly a beautiful city, and wonderful sites to see!
