Macau Pictures















Okay, so first of all? I am in love with these trees. There are more pictures of them below. They are huge knots of stems growing up from the ground and roots growing down from the branches (that's right! Aah!), into earth, rock, cement, or whatever is available, and they are EVERYWHERE (this one was at the "youth village" -otherwhere known as summer camp facility- where I spent my first week).

Below are some pictures of Macau itself at night:
Left is the sidewalk in downtown Macau (away from the massive casinos, but still downtown)







Right is the view down an old street.
















Scaffolding is made of bamboo!














This lamp. It glows.





Okay. After I left Coloane Island and the "youth village" and moved to Taipa, one of my hosts spent the days running errands and showing my around Macau and old Taipa. Observe:

ROOT TREES. LOOK AT THE ROOTS:































A street in old Taipa.






And another lamp! I love 'em!

  3. Haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one with a lamp fixation! Check it: http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs128.snc1/5492_755359835819_14819099_43878028_7035823_n.jpg

    Indoors! The stairwell was better lit than that, but for some reason when I took the picture (sans flash), it looked pitch dark.
