Damn, I wish I knew how to get inside some of the buildings around the garden so I could see if this is where the maybe pit stop might be!
There's something called Qingcao Hall (Green Grass Hall), but I can't find any photos of the outside, or the inside! :groan:

A wealthy merchant, Lou Kau, built it. His son Lou Lim lok inherited the garden from him in 1906. The family fortunes declined and in 1938 some houses in this garden were sold and converted into a school, which still stands today. In the 1970's, the government took over the park, renovated it, and opened it to be enjoyed by the public.
Surrounded by high walls, this garden is a landscape with narrow paths winding through groves of bamboo and flowering bushes. A small pond is at the center of this garden, straddled by an elegant nine-turn bridge leading to a large pavilion built in the pseudo-Victorian style of the Qing dynasty. Visitors standing on the verandah can see a rock, which is said to look like Kun Iam, Goddess of Mercy. There are frequent art and craft exhibitions in the pavilion, which is also a recital hall during the annual International Music Festival.
Qingcao Hall (Green Grass Hall) is the garden's most famous structure. The exterior is in traditional Chinese style, but the interior decorations are typical western. The outer wall is painted in beige, a color with Portuguese flair, while the corridor pillars are of unique Gothic style. On Sun Yat-sen's 1915 second visit to Macau, he stayed in this hall and gave audience to Macau's rich and famous.
This unique garden, in 1992 was named as one of the "Eight Scenes in Macau".

ahh that's the only thing I could find as well puddin! :groan: Well, I gave up searching, but I was searching at school and half the sites I clicked were blocked by the administrator, so I could have missed something. I think the confessional looks like a hotel room.
I hope they send out Phil's preview this week :knuckles:

I'm fairly certain that this is Lou Lim Ieoc Garden on GE.

My first thought when I saw the BQ's confessional was "I've seen that hotel room before". I was thinking Mirna had a confessional from a similar looking hotel in one of the South American legs (real specific I know). :groan:
