To add to the adventures from yesterday (menitoned in Laurie's post below)

here are a couple of additional pictures.

The one directly above is of Laura and Laurie leaning through the windows of the central atrium of the Mandarin House and the above it is showing just how narrow most all of the streets are in Macau. This street is empty which is not normally the case. On most streets delivery trucks, taxi's and cars (Mercedes and the like) will come flying down the narrow streets. Pedestrians and motorbikes, gillions of them, must beware.
