Hong Kong Trip - Day 15

We headed to Macau to meet up with our grandpa and uncle. We were all ready to go until my brother forgot his passport (!) so we had to wait on him. I also didn't feel that well that morning either.

Our grandpa was furious when we got there late. Soon later we also met up with our unliked Uncle Fong. The guy who's over on the Asian front, sucking up all our grandpa's money on his useless business that has yet to complete a single project since he started in the last 5+ years. Useless dick.

ANYWAYS. Macau! I've never been to Las Vegas, but I can imagine it would be something like this. However, Macau did still feel somewhat less sophisticated, even though some of their newer buildings were grand and wonderfully built.

We had dim sum at one of the restaurants in one of the casino hotels. EIGHT was the name. The entrance was dark and mysterious... you were lead through this dark corridor surrounded the sound of falling water... and the floor glowed fishies. Into the actual eating area, it was very gold and black. Very nice. The food was good too.

The washroom had automated everything. Ah, it was nice to be back to civilization.

After the nice refresher, we hunted for a 7-seater taxi van to fit all of us in. When we finally got our hands on one, we went to buy some flowers and then headed to visit the graves of my grandpa's father's wives.

They were located all over Macau, so we trekked to two different locations. We had some difficulty at the second one. The second one was located at one of those insane mountain graves, where they are a billion of others on this super steep mountain. We had to call some other relatives to get the coords, and even then, we weren't sure. The cleaning trio followed us to where ever we went and cleaned up the grave as soon as we finally pin-pointed it. There were also a lot of dogs, a side note.

After that, we decided to visit the famous Venetian and wow was it big. My grandpa and bro went on their separate ways after we arrived. According to my parents who've been to the Las Vegas one before, it was about the same. The built the Italy setting right inside the hotel and made stores into them. Then there were these people dressed in white who would stand there and not move and then suddenly move and freak people out. My mom snuck in a slot machine (worth $20HKD!) when we got to the casino portion of the visit. She just randomly pressed buttons and soon enough, the money was already all gone.

Next, we got busy and did some serious souvenir shopping. My goal here was to buy Macau's famous pasteries for my friend! And myself if there's anything good. After we got that over with, we headed down the food street to pick up some grub. We had some trouble figuring out what to eat exactly, so we ended up eating what that particular restaurant was known for and moving onto the next restaurant after that.

There was nothing else left to do after that, so we made our way back to HK by taking one of the hotel's personal buses, equipped with tv and changing neon coloured lights.
