    And people say the Hong Kong SAR flag is bad. Look at Macao's. What's with the green background? Five stars above a lotus? Err....

    I loved the Lou Lim Ieoc Gardens...it was a really nice place to stop and relax for a while and we got to explore the wonderful surroundings... Everywhere we walked in the gardens we found cute little 'fairy' picnic holes...they had tiny seats & tables hidden away in the various plants/trees.

    This view of the St Pauls Cathedral Facade is from the Monte Fort... The edge of China can be seen in the background past the water...

    You will come across some really nice looking buildings... We spent a lot of time walking around in Macau and it was probably the best way to see the city...although we could have done it quicker on scooters... ;)

    Macao adopted a flag upon its re-integration into China on 20 December 1999. The flag is light green with a white lotus above a stylized bridge and water and beneath an arc of five stars: one large and four smaller as on the flag of China.
