The Vegas of Asia MACAU

The adventures keep coming and now we have Macau.
Macau is know to be the Vegas of Asia, as it makes twice the revenue and is growing like crazy, but honestly, I don't think it was all that awesome. Nice to see it once, but that's it.
So Macau is like Hong Kong: it is owned by China yet not part of it, just recently gaining their independence from Portugal (rather than England like Hong Kong).
To get there is a simple ferry ride (that took us 4 hours one way because of customs eff my life).

And here is Macau:


(what? You don't know what casino this is??)

(andddd I want)





The streets of Macau are personally my favorite part.


(ruins of an old church)


(fortress shooting the giant corn casino)

(the residential streets)

(moped gang??)

(MJ display thing at Ponte 16 casino. So sweeettttt)


(Billie Jean!)


(Local Macanese restaurant. We had to point at pictures to order....haha)

(nighttime by the casinos)


(the bus had ninja print seats. Awesome)

Fun facts about asians:
1. They have workout equipment at playgrounds.
2. They cannot drink at casinos.
3. You can smoke almost any place indoors, but there are many outdoor restrictions for smoking (pretty much any street with lots of pedestrians you cannot smoke).
4. Lots of Canadians hate Americans (you're friggen Canadian, shush.). As well as Germans but that's not as surprising.
