Breakfast in Macau
If you are following these blogs, then you will remember the Sunday in Hong Kong were we had dim sum for breakfast, same thing here in Macau, only 10 times funnier. When we checked in we received breakfast coupons for one day, even though we were staying two days. When we went to the busy dining room, there is great confusion on how to deal with us and everyone seems to get involved with nobody taking control of the situation. By this time Victor and I have learned to sit back and laugh at these moments. Everyone in our immediate vicinity is laughing (at us). We smile back.
We are given a piece of paper with 10 vertical lines of Chinese text and told to circle which of the four we want for breakfast. Hmmmmmm. Nobody can tell us what any of the items is. We wait. Finally a nice lady comes on shift and is sent to us. She knows a handful of English so they have decided she can make this work. We get mostly things we like, some we don't but do have fun with the whole mess.
We taxi back to Senado Square which seems to be the center of everything that isn't a casino. Victor leads us up a hill, around a lake, through a temple and ended up after seemingly miles right in front of a restaurant that was on our list to try. Closed this day.
