Trip to Macau

Friday, we took a trip to Macau on the Turbo Jet, It was really cool, and it took about an hour to get over there. Macau is another East meet West country. It is an formal Portuguese colony, from the mid 15th century to 1999.

In 1557 Macau was rented to Portugal by the Chinese empire as a trading port. The Portuguese administered the city under Chinese authority and sovereignty until 1887, when Macau became a colony of the Portuguese empire.
