Macau photos

I'm on my way to BGI for another visit. It was cheaper to fly to Macau and take the jetfoil to Shenzhen than to fly direct from Taipei so I decided to stop over (it's my first time in Macau). Macau surpassed Las Vegas in gambling revenues a few years ago, and now having seen the crowds of Chinese gamblers here I would say there is no looking back. The most crazy and opulent things I saw while walking around were in the actual casinos, but I wasn't allowed to take any photos.

The story of how Sheldon Adelson used his Clinton, Bush and Israeli contacts to obtain a foothold here (he owns both the Macau Sands and Venetian) is quite interesting ;-)
