What happens in Macau stays in Macau
Macau is where Asia comes to gamble, party, and live larege. It is essentially the Asian Las Vegas. So after two weeks in Hong Kong a group of us decided that it was time to go and see Macau. Getting there was relatively easy with ferries leaving Hong Kong every half hour for most of the day. Once we got into Macau at arround 12:30, after about an hour ferry ride we explored the old Portuguese city and had some great local food. I had the pig's neck, which tasted like good sweet BBQ, and one of my friends had the Ox tail soup. After this we continued our exploration and seeing the mix of architectural style, between east and west. Then it was time to go and check out the casinos. There are many of the same big names that you see out in Vegas: Winn, Sands, Venetian, MGM, and there are also some others. Three of my friends pooled money and put in HK$200 each on roulette, and ended up walking away up 300%. The night turned out to be rather epic as we took the 3am ferry home. It was an absolutely amazing way to spend a day.
