Final Thoughts: Macau

Pool at The Wynn

Highlights –

  • walking around town taking in the sights, sounds, and smells
  • meeting and hanging out with John from Turkey
  • touring the casinos: The Wynn (my favorite), Grand Lisboa, MGM Grand and The Sands
  • winning a few dollars at Sic Bo and War
  • meeting the friendly guys from Nepal

Discoveries –

  • just because The Lonely Planet says room rates are triple the cost and hard to come by on a Saturday doesn't mean it is so
  • it feels a lot better to win money than to lose it (duh!)
  • turtles aren't meant for eating
  • watching a bit of TV from time to time can be a nice way to relax
  • patience = hot shower

Portugeuse egg tarts

Eating –

Pork dumplings, Portuguese egg tarts, softshell turtle casserole, Tsing Tao and Macau beer, fried rice, lots of tea, Haagen Daaz.

Macau was just a short side trip for me and my new friend Adam. It was actually impromptu - not somewhere I had planned to go. Sometimes it's just easier to find a cheap place to stay then go through the courtship process of arranging a couch to surf.
