Macau

Not much left from the portuguese influence except the street names. Everything is dominated by the crazy casinos and the not less crazy Chinese tourists trying their luck...
Despite the fact that Macau belongs to China you need to go through passport control, fill in immigration form etc - pretty funny for an "inland trip"

Chinese health system

It seems like some US consultants influenced the Chinese health system quite a bit.
First you are welcomed with a pile of paper you need to fill in and sign. Statements like "I agree that the hospital may treat something different than I actually have..."
Next you are invited to go to the cashier to pay for what your are intending to do. This can be done multiple times, eg first for a consultation. If the outcome is that you need an x-ray you will see the cashier again...
Finally you are invited to see the Dr and in the elevator there is an advertisement for discount on botox injections - exactly why I came here...

Beijing car show

From what I remember from Geneva car show, people went to see cars. In Beijing it seems like the cars are more decoration while people move from booth to booth to watch the different dance / music performances... The sheer mass of people is incredible and defines which way you walk - no way to go against the "stream".
What is indeed intereting are all car brands you never heard before but which's design is quite familiar...
