Gamblor! Macau! Part II

Well, Gamblor caught up with me again.  Went to another guys poker night last Thursday.  This time my colleague from the Foreign Nationals school didn't clean me out.  Time did.  I bled chips the whole night, except for winning a few really big pots which inevitably bled too.

And speaking about gambling, during my second day in Macau, I decided to go to the Venetian Casino Hotel.  Apparently it's a carbon copy of its Vegas counterpart.

All in all, I really enjoyed my little side-trip to Macau.  It is such an interesting place.  For an island that caters to all sorts of vice, it was very pretty and a lot of fun.  One day, I shall return to there (hopefully with some of my friends from Wuhan or Vancity).  Maybe then I can actually win at the tables.  And if not, at least I'll be in an interesting venue with them that I can explore some more (and eat delicious food)!

The super posh lobby of the Venetian

It had a faux-Venice shopping area that had a faux- river running through it. No faux-Rialto Bridge though.

Walking around Senado Square, which dons both Portuguese and Chinese characteristics.
