From Langkawi we flew back to Bangkok, where our friend Will picked us up and treated us to a gourmet dinner at KFC :) Some may not believe it but KFC in Thailand was actually pretty good. Seeing Will, our good friend from back home, all settled and living it up in Bangkok was pretty crazy! He was so great to us, and we really appreciated all the hospitality he showed us while we were in Bangkok. We only had 1 night in Bangkok before we got back onto a plane for Macau and Hong Kong.
Flights from Bangkok were cheaper to Macau then Hong Kong, and since we love Vegas back home, we knew we had to take the opportunity to visit the Vegas of the East! We treated ourselves to a night at the Wynn Hotel. It was amazing!!
Gambling in Macau was a very different experience. People would crowd around you as you played at a black jack table, and if you were winning, people could bet on you winning again...they could even bet on your losing....very odd, and so much pressure!!! We played a little on the tables, but it was all stressing us out, so decided to stick to slots and keep site seeing. We left the Wynn and took a cab down to the new strip area of Macau. We wanted to see the Venetian Hotel that was just built, and it was crazy big!! When we got into the casino floor, if you stood in the center of the room, and looked left and right, you couldn't see to the end, it was that big.
The next day we did some site seeing in Macau before we took the ferry over to Hong Kong. Macau was beautiful. The mix of culture there was very evident in the architecture. It didn't look like Asia, it looked like Italy :)
We walked through the town and tried the Portuguese Egg Custard Tarts. These tarts are a little different from the Chinese version, and were very yummy!! After all our site seeing, we took the ferry over to Hong Kong.
