Em 1970 a norte-americana Mary Ellena Ward acompanhou os pais numa vista à Ásia tendo visitado Macau (a partir de Hong Kong). Aqui fica o seu testemunho dessa viagem bem como algumas fotos do território. A primeira imagem testemunha a chegada a bordo de um hydrofoil.
"In 1970 I moved to Washington, DC, to make my way in the world. I worked for the FBI, a story in itself, and shared an apartment in Alexandria with home-town friend Ginger Allen and a rotating group of other Vicksburg friends looking for a cheap place to crash.
One day my parents called. They were planning a trip to Hong Kong and Japan to attend the International Bar Association (IBA) convention in Tokyo; was I interested in coming along? They would pay my travel expenses. Oh yes, I was definitely interested!"

"We had to visit a casino - a first for me. My father introduced me to the roulette table, but I was most fascinated by the dexterity of the workers sorting and stacking chips."
