Jantar MECC | MECC Dinner

[elusivek]

Na Sexta Feira, na véspera, o meu chefe disse que não podia assistir ao jantar de gala do MECC (Macau European Chamber of Commerce). Tentei pedir uns outros colegas-chefes e colegas-executivos para assistir, mas realmente, na véspera, foi impossível arranjar alguem ir. | On Friday, at the last minute, my boss said he couldn't attend the MECC dinner. I tried to ask some other colleagues - boss and executive grades - to attend, but actually, with such short notice, it was impossible to get someone to go.

Por isso, eu tive de ir em nome do meu chefe. Não foi mal, até encontrei com umas colegas desda da escola secundária e conversamos bastante. | And so, I had to go on my boss' behalf. It wasn't bad, I even happened to meet up with a couple of friends from high school and we caught up a bit.

Este ano o tema do jantar foi Viva! e também houve umas danças espanholas. Gostei bastante do queijo que foi servido. O menu foi assim abaixo: | This year, they had a VIVA! theme and had some ladies doing Spanish dances. I liked the cheese they served. The menu was as follows:

• Serrano Ham with Fresh Fruits, Manchego Cheese and Pistachio Fennel Oil


• Spanish Garlic Soup


• Spanish Spice Rubbed Chicken breast with Patatas Bravas


• Spanish Flan

Perdoa-me que somente copiei do menu inglês e não traduzei em português. | Forgive me for only copying the menu in English and not translating it in Portuguese XD

I'm amazed at how similar this was to spanish. I was actually able to read and understand your entire post in it's original language, though I can't write in it to save my life.

I meant to tell you, after I found out where you live, I had Google searched to learn a little more about it. I left my browser open and when my husband came home, he asked why I was looking at Macau. Anyway, come to find out, he has been there before! He used to live in Africa but he has traveled all over the place and he went there once for a day. He toured around and one thing he did was to do a sort of bungee jump off the top of a building that looks sort of like the Space Needle here in the U.S. I thought that was neat-I knew he had jumped off a building but I had no idea when I learned where you lived that he had done it there! Neat!

It's a small world after all LOL :D

Yes, he must have been at the Macau Tower (https://www.macautower.com.mo/) where he could either do the actual bungee jump or a sky jump (just jump off the tower with a controlled fall). There's also the sky walk where you just walk outside that ring thing at the top of the tower in a harness. They used to have a mast climb where you can climb up the... er... antenna pole or whatever it is at the top but I'm not sure if it's still possible to do that.
