Macau. What a place. Got my passport stamped for the first time after arriving in Hong Kong. Macau is basically the Las Vegas of China. Set up as a special administrative district, just like Hong Kong (Portuguese colony until 1999), it has its own money, and own laws - specifically those governing gambling and casinos. It's a packed tourist destination with people from all over the world and overall it was a great experience exploring the busy streets, huge malls, and eating world famous Portuguese style egg tarts. The casinos light up the night sky and offer the water shows, concert venues, and clubs built in the lavish over-the-top style that similarly defines Las Vegas. The pictures don't really do this place justice.
Also, a note on the pictures, I haven't doctored a single picture that I'm putting up on the blog- they're all #nofilter so hopefully you can see the sights just as I see them.
Picture note - the Venetian in Macau has its namesake indoor canals and gondolas as well.
