Dragon Boat Races

It's the Dragon Boat Festival today and there were Dragon Boat races.

I had to show my face at this company event.

It's a nice distraction/entertainment if it were an actual holiday and we could go as we liked, but it was somewhat an un-written thing that staff had to go and cheer for our teams. Here are 2 videos, these are all the, I don't know how you call it, the quarter finals or something (or ranking, or whatever). Anyway, that wasn't the final race. (One of our teams ranked 5th in the final race and another ranked 7th, I think)

Just for you to feel the ambience!

SJM Golden Jubilee finishes 1st in this sub-race

SJM Prosperity finishes 2nd in this sub-race

Final actual race, SJM Prosperity ranks 5th overall.

Yeah, cheerleaders and all.

1. What is your current main mode of transportation? e.g. car, bike, subway, walking etc.
I walk mostly. Or take the bus. My Dad has taken over my car so I hardly drive my car nowadays

2. Are you satisfied with your current main mode of transportation (answer to question 1)? Why?
Macau is a pretty small place to start with, so walking around is easy, it's just that the heat and all that would make you want to drive a car.

3. Do you think you'll change your means of transit soon? e.g. buy a car, get rid of your car, walk more etc.? If so why?
No change. I already have a car, I'm just not driving it. So sometimes I put a bit of reverse psychology thing type of pressure on my Dad to give me rides everywhere (haha). Though I don't take my Dad for granted, he's not my chauffeur.

4. If time distance and money were not factors how do you prefer to get from point A to point B?
I'd rather drive - I have a car, I own a car, I should be using the car I paid with my hard earned money! (I was working a minimum wage job some 10 years ago and saved up enough to buy myself the car - OKAY, my Mom forwarded the money first, but I paid her back!)

5. What was your worst transit experience?
It's a tie between Frankfurt and Granada... but since I had friends when I was stuck in Granada, I'll say Frankfurt. Transiting in Frankfurt is terrible. It was a connecting flight, in the same wing of the airport, but I had to run down a corridor from the plane exit gate in order to reach the, I don't know, concourse or arcade or hall, just to go up the elevator and then run back down the same corridor (because one was arrivals and one was departures). I made it to my connecting flight to Vienna, but my bags didn't. bleh. The nice lady at Vienna airport checked the flights and when she found out I was going down South Austria (Styria), she said there was a flight in 2 hours from Frankfurt to Graz, and they will send the bags there, and the grounds staff at Graz brought me my bags the same evening! So, the customer service saved it, but the actual experience at Frankfurt airport was terrible.
