Macau... Asian Vegas

So typically I'm not a big fan of Las Vegas, but going to Macau was so much fun! I went with a random group of international students. We took the MTR to the ferry station and then it was about an hour long ferry ride until Macau. I filled up a whole page in my passport just with stamps leaving and entering Macau. It was such an interesting place because it had lots of casinos and brand new buildings, but then you'd walk down the street and see really old houses with bamboo roofs and crumbling bricks. There were streets there that were made just for walking between shops, sort of like gateway mall only no cars could go through. Here are some pictures:

One of the guys I was with won 800 HK$ at this gold casino in just two games of roulette! Wahoo.

     
These are the Ruins of St. Paul', one of the oldest symbols of Christianity in Macau.

   

According to the tour book my friend had the Museu de Macau is one of the best in all of Asia... we couldn't resist going after we heard that.

      

Every single place in Hong Kong/Macau has beautiful gardens and trees lining roads and sidewalks. It is absolutely gorgeous.
