Where did the torch go??!!

This says something about Macau.
The torch routes were printed on leaflets and given out at the tourist information centre (and elsewhere too I'm sure). Samsung, Giordano etc all had banners waving, the police were in, as were some Olympic organization and most of all, millions of patriotic onlookers, many with China flags painted on their faces, waving flags of all sizes and other little Olympic signs, waiting for hours except... the torch never came!!!
It's hilarious! Everyone thought the Olympic torch was coming this way (past the busy street below my balcony) and so many people were on hand to witness it and all of a sudden, the crowds just started to go away as they began to realise the torch was not coming this way after all! Crazy!
This is probably where Macau is most similar to mainland China - the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, and is not interested to ask.

Olympic torch AGAIN!
Friday, May 2, 2008 6:51PM / Members only
Back in 2004, the Olympic torch ran past my living room when I first moved to Beijing. I was on the 17th floor back then. Beijing was it's last stop before Athens.
Tomorrow (3 May), I have another date with history as the torch will be running past my living room again! This time it will be Macao. And I will only be 3 floors up waiting at my wonderful wonderful balcony!
More soon...(below are pics of the 2004 torch)
