Macau

---

So last night on a whim, at about 5pm, my father and I decided to head over to Macau. We had heard that it was the Vegas of the East. We also even heard that they make more money than VEGAS!!!! Seeing as how my birthday is tomorrow, I thought it was the perfect way to usher my 25th year of life. We had a few beers at some pubs on Lockhardt Road, then went to catch Turbo Jet ferry. The ride was about an hour long, but it went by really quick. Once we got to Macau, we went in 3 or 4 different casinos. However, with it being a Wed., I guess most of them were quite dead. The Sands, however, was PACKED! After watching my dad play some black jack and baccarat for a while, I noticed he was doing quite well. Since this Macau excursion was towards the end of our China trip, I was kind of low on funds to gamble. However, since I always tend to have amazing luck on my bday when it comes to gambling, I decided to wait till midnight to gamble.
So the clock strikes 12......Wow, I'm now 25 years old. A quarter of a century. Anyways, after quickly disposing of a beer, I decide to check out what table I will build my fortune with. I noticed they had Casino war! You all don't know this, but this is one of my favorite games to play. I won over $1,000 playing this in Vegas on my 21st bday (remember what I said about having good luck gambling on my birthday?). Anyways, I gambled for a few hours and ended up winning $300 😊 It was much needed cause my funds were quickly being depleted at this point of the trip. So anyways, after my dad won $1,000, we decided to hit up a bar or club. I ended up meeting this beautiful local girl who invited me to go with her and her friends to this one club. (Don't recall the name). In any case, we partied like animals, went back to her spot for a while, then returned to Hong Kong the next morning at 10am. Still hadn't slept at this point (you'll see from the pics). Needless to say, once we got back to our hotel in Hong Kong, we CRASHED OUT. We woke up after a 4 or 5 hour nap, then went out for bday dinner and drinks. Must say, I definitely enjoyed Macau. And being on this trip, definitely made this one of the most memorable bdays ever.
