We got so bored staying in China that we decided to change things up. Now we’re in Venice, Italy.
Actually we just crossed the street from our hotel in Macau and now we’re visiting the Venetian. So we’re still in China.
So 50-50 if you’re not a huge gambler there is still plenty to do in Cotai Central hither in Macau. There are so many hotels that you can visit and every hotel usually has a unique show that they put on. hither at the Venetian you can ride the Gondola and just experience like you’re in Italy for an afternoon. Then the hotel we were staying at was having some kind of Shrek parade which you missed out on. I did miss it but Sam loved it. Oh wow, yes! There is just lots of shows and different performances that you can attend in the evenings. So plenty to do aside from gambling.
Coming early in the morning was a really goodness idea. We basically almost take hold this whole place to ourselves.

Well, Macau is a place where dreams come true. You make a little wish and throw your coin into the water. Being the high roller that I am. I’ve got a Macau ten cent piece hither. Which I’m going to throw. Missed it. You missed it? Nice.
And of course 1 baht. what?
Great camera work on the coin toss. I got the splash at the goal. The after splash.
This is part of our Travel in China series. We’re making a series of videos showcasing Chinese / Macanese culture, Chinese / Macanese arts, Chinese / Macanese foods, Chinese / Macanese religion and Chinese / Macanese people.
