Macau, Tai O, Cheung Chow!

Like I said, I've been up to a lot.
Multiple blog posts worth!
The first weekend after I got back, I went again to Macau with a few friends. This trip was less exciting (Macau is really only interesting the first time), but one thing we did do was go wine tasting at the "Tourist Activities Centre," which I do reckon warrants to be mentioned here.
The next week, my friend Rosalind and I ventured out to Tai O. Tai O is a fishing village located on Lantau Island, a large island off the coast of Hong Kong Island that hosts the airport, Disney Land, The world's largest Buddha Statue, and many little villages-yup, that big. The village itself is beautiful due to it consisting mainly of stilt houses built on the water, and has been compared by some to Venice.
Lunar New Year's Eve, I headed to another of the islands near HK, Cheung Chow. This small little island was also gorgeous, and it still amazes me how you can walk through a little village, or be out in the forest, and still be in the massive global city of Hong Kong.
