Macao Trip

This past weekend  I went to Macao - an Island about an hour ferry ride away from Hong Kong. Macao is known as the "Vegas of the East" - gambling, nice hotels, and more gambling! 

I stayed one night in Macao with some of my exchange friends - we hotel/casino hopped...first to the MGM Grand, then to The Sands, then to The Venetian. The Sands Casino was definitely the prettiest - with shining chandeliers that looked like giant icicles, but The Venetian was built with an indoor water canal, which was really neat! 

I think Macao would have been more fun if I actually thought gambling was amusing :/ However, it was a fantastic "get-away" in the middle of hectic weeks filled with final presentations and group projects.
