This was going around Facebook, so I thought I'd share. No fear of exposing my identity, so this can go public XD

This is about MACAU! There's a bit of info that's not quite right, but it's still an interesting show.

He does an interview with Father Lancelot, my Dad's good friend, and well, he's a funny guy. He's very old now... I love it how he suggests a drink in broad daylight then says "it's midnight somewhere" LOL
Fr. Lancelot used call me and my sis his "little sailors"... yes... the school I went to had Sailor-moon-esque Sailor uniforms, LOL

The editing isn't quite right though... for those who would understand Cantonese, the part where he has dinner with the Chinese guy, Johnny Fok? (no idea who he is), the guy hasn't even finished speaking and they cut it out... another part is the "translated" part isn't really what they showed the guy said. Whatever.


Part 1:


It's quite informative, because even though I work in a Casino, I have no idea how most of the games are played. So... this is quite informative to me as how Baccarat is played. I thought they were playing at the Grand Lisboa, because they ate at The Eight, 8 a restaurant in Grand Lisboa. But I really didn't recognize the purple table and the Chandeliers. I thought it was Wynn, until a security guard appeared, and with that signature yellow security uniform... they were in the Venetian. hah... Good detective work, kat! But then for the "next day" he comes out from the Grand Lisboa again! (ho!)


Part 2:


Yes, the Clube Militar serves great light Portuguese buffets. And let me add one more thing, what it is to be Macanese. I may not personally know everyone, but I know who everyone is. So, I know who this Cecilia Jorge is. And the thing they ordered, Lady's Finger in Curry... I may not eat spicy food, but I love the Lady's Finger (the veggie/squash)! 
When I'm in Macau/China, people say "You're European." And when I'm in Europe, people say "You're Asian." ha!

Part 3:


Oh... the steamed milk is gooooooood! The Pork chop bun looks good, but I've never had that from that particular place. It's too touristy so I dunno. Yes. Ask any real Macanese, and the food is: Minchi! Though the Minchi is not usually served with chicken... I agree with the Recipe book thing. I agree we should teach people our recipes. What's with all the secrecy? My Mom bans me from sharing our family secret "Midnight Cake" recipe... but I will share it someday.

Oh, and the street food! Yum yum, though the Rice flour pasta thing (Zhu Cheong Fun)... it's not peanut sauce sir... it's sesame paste sir... and to me, this rice flour pasta thing is more a breakfast food than midnight snack.

There's a few parts where Mr. Anthony is walking around... he's just walking in circles. It's all the same place, from different angles (sorry, I had to blow that!) St. Lazarus' Parish area. Beautiful place.

So, I guess, it's enjoy!

Slayers!秀逗魔導士 2 亞特拉斯的魔導士
Hajime Kanzaka 神坂一
ISBN 978-986-6712-58-6
Pg. 34
(Re-issue cover art)

講一些題外話,其實我曾經在故鄉的魔導士協會擔任特別客座,因此也得到了顏色的稱號。參加協會的正式活動時,都要穿那時拿到的斗篷和袍子出席‧‧‧‧‧‧
所以協會辦的活動我從來都沒出現過。
那種禮服能穿嗎!
粉紅色!
拿回家的時候,哪可能不被姊姊譏笑。
「『紅粉莉娜』!聽起來好像特種營業啊!」
煩死人了!這本來就是選顏色的傢伙的錯嘛!
「妳是女孩子,那就用可愛的粉紅色‧‧‧‧‧‧」
世界上哪裡會有穿粉紅色的衣服的黑魔法魔導士!

Alrighty, bit of a translation for those interested. I'm reading the Chinese version of the Slayers 2nd novel: The Sorcerer of Atlas City (Original title in Japanese: アトラスの魔道士, original cover on the right). It came to a part where Lina was explaining what's with the Sorcerers and their colors (Rezo the Red, and so on and so forth). And then this is what she said:

Actually back in my hometown, I was also in a Sorcerers' Guild, and so I also got a Color title. Whenever we attended any Guild functions we were to go wearing the colored cloak and gown.
That's why I never showed up in these Guild functions.
Who could ever wear such clothing!
PINK!
When I brought home the clothing, it was impossible for my sister not to ridicule me.
"'Lina the Pink'! It sounds like special business!" (in Japanese "pink" is sort of a color code or special code for "erotic" or "adult only" things)
How annoying! This is totally the fault of the guy that chose the color!
"You are a girl, so let's use a cute color: Pink..."
No Black Mage/Sorcerer in the world would wear PINK!
