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

hello, just wondering why you didn’t couchsurfed in macau.. :) Thanks.
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.
