What do you do with only six hours in Macau in the pouring rain? Well, you rent an open topped rickshaw, of course, and ride down the rainy street singing songs and laughing at yourselves. At least, that's what we did.  Macau was a former Portuguese colony and now it has a very interesting mix of Portuguese and Chinese culture and food. Looking at the mix between Portuguese and Chinese food on some menues can be confusing and also highly entertaining. With only a short amount of time, however, and the rain coming down   around us, the interaction between the three of us made me realize how special this group is and how our silliness has helped us survive this far. We, quite literally, rented a rickshaw in the rain and drove down the   middle of busy streets - to the frustration of the speeding bus drivers and to our accumulating horror - singing songs at the top of our longs. Even the rickshaw driver started laughing and joined in! In our silliness, this was day that we coined the phrase, "It's raining lions and hyeenas out here," to add to the ever growing list of inside jokes we have developed. All in all, we had a great time in the rain in Macau and it was a perfect example of the humor, silliness and perpetual happiness that keeps us going on this trip.

About

Starting January 2010, three happiness ambassadors will begin an unprecedented journey to all 206 countries where Coca-Cola is sold. That's 14 more countries than are represented in the United Nations! Their mission is to seek out "what makes people happy" around the world.

These "happiness ambassadors" will search for and share the optimism and happiness of Coca-Cola from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between. Their route will include some pretty amazing venues including- the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the World Cup in South Africa and the World Expo in Shanghai.

Throughout the year-long journey, these Happiness Ambassadors will be sharing their blog posts, tweets, videos, interviews and pictures so you can follow their adventures in every country along the way.
