Wow, the “temporary” security control between 🇭🇰&🇲🇴is straight out of #XCom. Run by grumpy mainland-Chinese immigration in a dystopian temporary compound halfway across the bridge. #Macao’s 25th anniversary of the “return to the motherland “ is coming up, and authorities seem afraid. CTM SIM-card vending machine was also in-op for the occasion. Let’s see if I can find one in the city tomorrow.

Some local coverage in English: macaonews.org/news/city/macau-

From November 6th to December 5th, as @regento, I will be in #HongKong, #China, and #Macao, to meet with collaborators and clients I haven't seen in a long time.

I know a lot of #opensource and business folks follow me here, but I haven't met everybody, especially those in #EastAsia, as it's been a while since I last went there. If you are in the area and would like to meet (or know someone I should meet), please let me know.

I'll probably post architecture photos via the @regento account too.

Threat from sea and sky:

"The average sea level in #Macao toward the end of the century could be 64 centimetres higher than it is now, posing implications for many low-lying parts of the city that are already susceptible to flooding.

Macao can also be expected to be affected by astronomical tides and storm surges with increasing frequency, with more extreme rainstorms and other severe weather events hitting the city."

clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛

Only six years ago, China built the world's longest bridge, connecting Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macau.

Today:
"Grandma went to Zhongshan on the new bridge."
"But you said she went through Shenzhen, did you mean Zhuhai?"
"No! There's another new bridge!"

June this year (TIL), the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link opened, half as long as the HK-ZH-MO Bridge (HZMB), but still very impressive to see, stretching past the horizon, only 32 km north of the HZMB and only 27 km south of Humen Bridge.

It takes a lot of links to build a one-hour region for 60M+ people! Every week is infrastructure week.
