RAG in Macau

RAG (Ron, Ana, Gigi) arrived in Macau on August 2 from Guangzhou (capital of Guandong Province) via a 2.5 hr bus ride. Luckily they didn't have too much trouble crossing the border from Zhuhai (border city/Special Economic Zone), China into Macau. Yes, Hong Kong and Macau have returned to China's control since 1997 and 1999 yet residents still have to go through border crossing each time they want to travel. Why the heavy bureaucracy still?
