A number of the staff at Hope Medical visited the Place family in Zhuhai, just across the Macau/China border. We took the children fishing at a local pond. Zhuhai is different from Macau. The streets are much wider and it has wide sidewalks. The city is not land locked by the sea like Macau, so at the edge of the city are fishing ponds and vegetable farms. After fishing, I went to a Chinese spa and had a foot massage. For 1 hour it was 50 patakas, which is about $8 US. It was intense, okay sometimes it actually hurt, but in the end my feet were much more relaxed.
The Old Border Gate. Now it is much bigger.
Ben is a ENT resident at one of the hospitals in Macau, he is engaged to Cynthia, one of Hope's residents. No one had luck catching the fish with poles. Some of Dr. Place's children netted a number of fish.
Don't worry, I did not eat any of the fish that were caught.
Along the pond were fields of vegetables. Here is their "automatic" watering system.
