thursday 1 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 A place in the far far east, southern coast of China where the sun shines on TV or elsewhere. The streets are picturesque Portugal with cathdral architecture and coastline. Cobbled streets are made by Portugese craftsmen on a mission to make the best cobbled streets in the world. A real holiday destination. But wait; there are casinos galore!! Gambling, flashing lights, fountains. Think Oceans 11 and then multiply. Lights a flashing, Vegas brashness, tackiness, multiply. And then the tracks, the horse tracks, the grehound tracks, the go-kart tracks. Then, one weekend in the year, the F3 world championship's track. Macau, dunno why I like it so much. Yes I do know, but that's for you to find out. Enjoy. Link to post Share on other sites

stemik 14 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 i have been to macau 3 times, once before the new casinos were built...then it was a real gamblers den, with 5 to 6 deep at the tables, and only bacarat played. next time when they were building the casinos, so much work going on. And the last when the new casinos were built. Amazing. and the ladies..well...no comment Link to post Share on other sites

There must be two Macaus coz the place I went to looked remarkably like the crowded dirty polluted cities in mainland china just accross the water. Even the Westin - which gets good raps from many people - seemed just as dreary and polluted as everywhere else in that part of the world. Macau is cheap and nasty and has not much going for it at all. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I am pretty sure they used ours as brood stock for thier good genetics - so anything that has a mother with a Monelli name is a descendent of one of ours. Link to post Share on other sites
