What's a ruin?
February 1, 2019 in Macao ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Spent the afternoon wandering around the non-casino side of old Macao. Lots of narrow winding roads, quaint little shops, and funky English signage. We (well at least Mommy) came across quite a few mouth-watering street food stands - bowls of soup noodles with beef or fish seem popular - looking forward to giving some a try.

We took a pause by two religious places: First a living, active Christian church and then the ruins of St. Paul’s. The latter gave us a perfect segue to answer Davy’s questions about whether there were churches that were no longer active but kept in some reasonable state for tourists. Not all are ruins of course!Read more

Entertainment at night (it's either folklore, a friendship store or a bar).
Macau was formerly a colony of the Portuguese Empire, after Ming China leased the territory as a trading post in 1557. Portugal paid an annual rent and administered the territory under Chinese sovereignty until 1887, when it gained perpetual colonial rights in the Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking. The colony remained under Portuguese rule until 1999, when it was transferred to China.Read more

Durch die Portugiesen ist das Christentum zwar verbreiteter als in China, trotzdem sind nur 7 % der Bevölkerung christlich.
