Last night, after our presentation, we visited Charmaine Hunter at The Venetian. It's the largest resort of its kind in the world. It's on an island south of Macao, and it has Venice in miniature in its mall area.

Charmaine said how much she missed MWF ( http://MasterWorksFestival.org ) this year an...

The event went well last night, and our outreach to Filipinos in this region continued, as many in the hosting group were from the north of the Philippines.

We're now way out in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbor and we have strong cell signal, so I'll report that we're well on our way to Macao now.

Our flight was oversold, so I was thrilled to just get a seat. Since I only took this one shot from an emergency door I decided to repost the note and photo below from the last trip here in January 2007...
