If you guys still haven't heard about the scuffle between the group of 120 or so Hubei tourists and their Macau tourist guides, here's the video which includes some really really crazy scenes. Looks like even the riot police had to be called in!
Short little backgrounder from Reuters:
A group of tourists on a trip to Macau riot after being pressured to spend in shops. The tourists said guides took them to too many shops and pressured them to buy. The group finally lost their tempers when the guides refused to let them re-enter locked coaches on a stop to a cold beachfront. The travellers, about 120 of them mostly from China's Hubei province, ended up in a five-hour stand off with more than twenty police officers.
