From April 17th to the evening of April 18th I was in Macau with my favorite Hong Kong family: the Ngans. I met them last time I was in Hong Kong when I stayed with them. They are hosting a boy from Reykjavik, Iceland named Baddi Olsen. Baddi was in Beijing while we were in Macau.

The first day in Macau was sunny and beautiful while the next was depressing and rainy (I spoke too soon Jane). Last time I went to Macau it was rainy too, but that time I was too excited about being in a place once owned by Portugal to care.

I really like Macau, and maybe sometime in the future when I have the chance to return, it will be sunny!
