zandertoySo right now were in Macau at the Metro Park hotel. We arrived last night and it was a huge mistake on Uncles part because he booked a hotel that was relatively close to Macau but the hotel was still in China which would mean that if we stayed there we would have had to go back through immigration everyday.
The fucked up part was that Uncle booked the same day that we were staying in Tai Shan CIty which is ridiculous. He said he messed up because he was looking at US time calendar on his laptop. The hotel was nice enough to let him only pay for the one night and cancel the other two nights.
We decided to cancel that reservation and just book this hotel at Metro Park.
We are going to head back to Hong Kong today because there really isnt much to do over here except gamble. The good news is that last night Adis asked me to Gamble for her 50$ on black and I did that for her and actually won. It was really amazing! Grandpa and Uncle were not that lucky- both of them lost 500 Macau dollars.
This trip has been pretty amazing so far. Seeing our village in Tai Shan was the most interesting part because even after so many years they are still living that very simple basic village lifestyle. One of the guys there still has to carry pots of water on sticks to water the garden. We got a few dishes from our village. These date back at least eight decades! Grandpa said that the symbol engraved on each dish was their family mark that identified who’s dish it was.
Really looking forward to leaving this ghetto city. I really hate gambling and that nasty feeling of losing money. The thing about being in Hong Kong is that everyone feels like they have money in Hong Kong shopping and spending money but over here you can feel that broke worn down feeling in the air. Pawn shops, hookers and people out to make a quick buck.
