Final Thoughts: Macau

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.
