Macau wasn't at the top of the list of places I'd expect to visit twice in 3 months, but rumour had it that visas for China would be easy to obtain there. Unfortunately the situation had changed since we had bought visas to China in Hanoi in April. Though $65 would get me (a Brit) a 3 month visa, it was going to cost LA Woman $150 for a 1 month one. This was apparently due to some tit-for-tat visa price increases between America and China.
Our evenings were spent in a bar at the Grand Lisboa, watching the Western dancers frugging to cheesy music. One new routine since our last visit involved the girls prowling around in cat-themed outfits to a backing of "The Final Countdown", with growls and snarls added to the mix.
The casino seemed no busier than before, a situation that was still inconsistent with the fact that Macau's gambling income exceeds that of Vegas. I can only assume that many of the grim-faced patrons are slapping down an awful lot more money than the average Vegas punter.

I grew up on that street.
