I now seem to have a somewhat functional VPN. It's not perfect, and I'm hoping to further improve the situation. But at least I can more reliably connect to the blocked-in-China world than previously.
For a sign that things have somewhat returned to normal, I will share a set of photos I took in and around Macau's Taipei Village the other day that all include... signs. I did not initially intend to take so many photos of signs, but after the first few I thought focusing on signs could serve as a way to capture sides of Macau that may otherwise be missed. And Macau presents a unique treat for sign aficionados. Where else is it common to see Traditional Chinese, Portuguese, and English together? As the following photos show, not all signs use all three languages and which languages appear can vary depending on the circumstances.

At crowded bus stops in neighboring Zhuhai boarding a bus can feel like a sporting event. |

The Old Taipa Tavern (OTT) is in a great location for enjoying a drink, but don't be noisy or mention the rent. |
As in Hong Kong, 7 Elevens are common in Macau. |

Choose a sign to ponder |
