Macau

Dear Readers,

my last adventure in Asia for this year might have well been Macau with its many Portugese churches and beautifully lit casinos. Grace and I explored this little enclave on a one day trip, taking the ferry from HK to Macau (where you need a passport to enter :-)
We were greeted by tasty egg-tarts and old colonial architecture, before we got tired of sightseeing and chose to chill out at the free coffee bars of the most colorful casinos. Tempted to gamble away the few dollars in my possession, I actually played on a slot machine for the first time in my life legally (Las Vegas still saw me too young). Upon my first try I won... 75 cents, whereas the bet was 1 Dollar. So I decided to claim my "wins" and went on to the next machine.

Good luck for your adventures as well,

Mat
