Abel Leaves For Macau

XC Racer and crash specialist Abel Vaca left for the nation of Macau last night at 11pm, for a work related emergency. Abel works for Wet Design, and is being flown to this mostly Chinese country to repair new water featues in the WYNN RESORT MACAU.
His flight will be long, but he has his portable DVD player to get him by.
Macau is located on the coast of China, at the mouth of the Pearl River. Formerly known as Ou Mon (Trading Gate), Macau was a crucial port along the Silk Road of ancient times that delivered goods to Rome from the Orient. It grew as a result of the landing of Jorge Alvares, Portugese trade explorer in 1513. The name "Macau" grew from the Portugese name A Ma Gao (Place of honor of the Goddess of Seafarers).
Most foreign trade left Macau after the British established Hong Kong and "won" the Opium War of 1841.
Today, Macau is a travel center and produces textiles, electronics, and toys. It is one of the most developed countries in Asia, with one of the lowest crime rates. Tap water is safe to drink on both islands. Well, I hope Abel gets to read this while he's over there...oh, and Abel, watch the prostitutes....some may be guys, and I'm guessing you may wanna wear "something" for protection, Kapish?
