On this day in 2008 it was below freezing in Macau, so getting a taxicab anywhere took an investment of serious amounts of time. I was working in a 2-person team running around the strip in downtown Macau just-to-find-a-fuggin-taxi. After an hour and a half, during which time we contemplated chucking the whole endeavour and just going back to Hong Kong on the next hydrofoil, or at least stopping to eat a pork chop sandwich, we finally managed to secure a spot in a taxi, and were soon zooming across the bridge to Taipa with fireworks from the cai shen holiday exploding all around us, and then on to Coloane where we would have dinner at Fernando's. We had been waiting all week for Portuguese food and we weren't going to let either freezing cold or a lack of vehicles stop us, by Odin's Raven.
