LOL what do you do with all the money? do you have any statistic on where the money comes from? the vast majority comes from the mainland, I guess.

Why is Macao still less prosperous than Hong Kong? Makes me think why all those Hispanic/Portunese former colonies are not as developed as former British colonies. I also heard from people that have traveled to Southern Europe that they are not really developed, just bunch of tourist resorts but cities are kind of ******.

Actually the Portuguese tried to take more land than Macau after they have heard that Hong Kong was taken by the UK, but they were defeated by the Qing army.
