A Day in Macau

 
Not only I have longed to go the
the casino city that does six times
the size of Las Vegas revenue, but
the corrupt Philipines only gives you
month free visa before they want you
to pay the piper $100 for another month.
Not I said the cat. I much rather spend
$100 on a plane flight to close by Macau
or whereever then pay the pockets of these
corrupt lawmakers so they can buy a new mercedez.

Although Las Vegas is scorching hot in the summer,
You can still walk down the strip cause there would be
many stops you can make to cool down. Not so in Macau
where all the Casinos are spread out. And hot in June it is.
There's no wild dance clubs, shows be Celine or Wayne Newton.
It's gambling and shopping, more shopping and some more gambling.

I manage to play 10 minutes of video roulette and win $7. Just enough for
my porkchop sandwhich and egg custurd dessert as they do here in Macau.
I would of playe poker at the Wynn, but on this saturday night, the long list never moved.

And so I booked a hotel just outside of Macau, but not in a casino. I asked the cab driver to bring me
there, but he dropped me short and said I need to enter the immigration line. So I lineded
up at this massive terminal with hundreds of people, and when I got to the window, she
asked me for my visa, I was pretty shocked and said I don't have one. I am a well experienced traveler
and did a planning for this trip, just didn't forsee this small issue. Some countries allow you to
purchase one right there, not China. So I turned around and just got a Ferry to Hong Kong.


Then I followed more Bourdain recomendations and didn't spend more then a ten
hours in Macau before the hour ferry to Hong Kong.
