Las Macau
Hi everyone! Here we are with a where, what, and why.
Macau. One of the two pretty much autonomous Special Administrative Regions of China, the other being Hong Kong.
Here they have their own laws and rules and their own currency, but in casinos it seems they only accept Hong Kong dollars. Talking of casinos… Macau really is the Chinese Las Vegas. It even looks like Vegas – skyscraper luxury hotels, countless garish casinos, where nothing ever closes. Put another way, a concentration of depravity!
To get there, first you need to get to Hong Kong. From there it’s straight from the airport with no passport check 45 minutes on the ferry. Once in Macau it’s 100 yuan ($15) for your visa, and off you go…
Since I got to see nothing there apart from the hotel (we were having a partner conference there), I was able to only take a few photos.
