  • I am a HKese, 41 years old. I hate Macau as our family in earlier days lost a great deal of money in gambling. I understand it is not fair to say that .. but i really hate Macau. What it get worse ... it is now a real city of crime. Thanks for this clips anyway. It makes me know that Macau already got its name ... Gambling colony .. .in the 30s. So bad Macau !

  • coal burning steamer,smoke is so black,no wonder the smog in h.k. is so bad

  • sheesh the smoke coming from the vessel in 10:00. No wonder hong kong is always polluted.

  • @eddielung31 old buildings too ugly and haunting

  • @ac6261

    Yea. The silent movie scripts didn't mention the coffin. It seems that they didn't know what it was and just blatantly interpreted that the Buddhist 'priests' 'mingle' with crowds. LOL!

  • I am surprised by the amount of black smoke that come out of the ship's chimney.
