Was sagst du? 樣樣都德

One big reason that drew me to Hong Kong for Christmas was the lively atmosphere, in contrast to Western countries where life suddenly comes to a halt during Christmas. I thought it was better to spend those days doing something useful in Hong Kong than sitting and doing nothing in Australia. 聖誕節抽空回港的另一原因，就是喜歡香港的聖誕氣氛，並不會像西方國家般一到聖誕便死寂一片，在香港度聖誕假總比在澳洲呆坐幾天好。 Singing carols and spreading the message of the gospel on Christmas Eve – reminds me of the party on the open-top bus in Barcelona . 平安夜在開蓬電車報佳音，令我想起在 巴塞羅那 看到的開蓬巴士派對。 Shopping a rcades with their decorations and live performances. 各大商場都用心為商場佈置和安排各類表演。 A highlight during Christmas is the lighting decorations, which has probably bored some of the locals already but definitely not those living elsewhere.

But these days the two islands become joined after reclamation, and the newly created land becomes home to a cluster of brand new casinos and hotels. Our first stop is the Venetian Resort Hotel, which is one of those casinos located on this so-called Cotai Strip. After a brief walk through the hotel, we went into the town centre of Taipa (Vila da Taipa) to look for a restaurant serving local style Portuguese cuisine, but we were out of luck as the shop has already folded. We could only go on to find another one. 我們這次出發時直往氹仔，祇記得很久之前氹仔和路環仍是分開兩個島，但現在因填海而連成一整片，填海區...
