Where are we now??
Once a year, our visa requires us to leave the country. It can be for any length of time, just as long as you get out.
We opted to go to a nearby place where we’d feel somewhat at home and see the Wynn casino, Venetian, MGM Grand Hotel, etc. No, it wasn’t Vegas but you certainly would think you were there given the names on the casinos. Right now, Macao has some 30 casinos with many more under construction. Our local tour guide said the government gets about 70 percent of its income from the casinos …. and, at least for now, it’s the only place in China with casinos. We tried our luck .. oh well, next time.
Macao or Macau used to be Portugese territory and in the old part of town you can see the Portugese influence on the architecture. Many restaurants also serve food with a Portugese twist.
