Journal 54: Back from Macau
So I just returned from the Macau and Hong Kong trip and I feel like I have been walking through the desert for weeks. I can’t believe how exhausted I am. I don’t know if it’s because I am getting older or because the area is so small that visitors feel they can walk the entire thing and not be completely wasted afterward.
But I can assure you, I am completely wasted.
Having said that, though, I can also say that I have seen the entirety of what Macau has to offer and, as always, I enjoyed my time in Hong Kong.
I only spent one day in Hong Kong this time, but it was great to get out and do a photo-walk of my favorite places thereabouts.
I visited an old friend in the market north on Nathan Road and I got to do one of my favorite things on Hong Kong Island, which was to ride the double-decker buses and shoot the views from above. And I even ate at one of my coveted places – Agave.
I haven’t eaten good Mexican food in a long time. So it was a welcomed visit to the restaurant.
As always, it was very expensive. But I think that I came away with some great experiences. And the film that is currently in post-production will be released soon – hopefully by Sunday.
Well, this is just a short journal to highlight the upcoming media from the trip. And I also wanted to make the point of apologizing that I have not been able to release my book as planned.
I guess I just bit off more than I could chew with everything going on and also trying to stay on top of the release. I will hopefully be able to squeeze it in there with all my edits (photo and film) for the upcoming documentary.
And then, of course, there’s the long-awaited Taiwan Documentary that I have been filming for and working on since January this year (2012).
So there’s lots happening. And I hop that this weekend greets you all well and that I can get this film out, get the book released, give away my free copies to all promised recipients and then get on to finishing the Taiwan documentary.
Until then, I will be steadily and dedicatedly working!
