After an hour of waiting for the right bus, I mean with the right bus driver who understands a little english and more of the sign language, we were on our way to our first stop in Macau - the A-Ma temple.
A-Ma temple is the oldest temple in Macau.
It was constructed in the year of 1488 of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to commemorate Mazu, the sacred sea goddess who blesses the fishermen of Macau.
It is said that the goddess was called Lin Mo, and that she was born in Putian City, Fujian Province, and was more intelligent than other children her age. She could predict good or ill luck and after her death she often helped merchants and fishermen ward off calamities and turn danger into safety
