Foiled Again!

After the original Visa debacle (long story, details available being withheld for security reasons), I have been foiled yet again in my travel plans. Damn these governments and their regulations.

Macau -- a very small semi-autonomous region of China -- is close enough to Hong Kong to take a day trip, so that's where I was going to go today. But you need a passport to get there. And my passport is at the Visa office until 6:00 today. So I guess I'm not going to Macau. Too bad, I was excited about it. It used to be a Portugese colony, until very recently in fact, which I think would make for a pretty interesting cultural blend and some damn good food. But whatever, I'm stuck in Hong Kong for another day. Tough life, huh? :-)
