Hola! I'm back from HK and Macau now. So time to update. :) The trip was great.. I went with my parents and my dad's friend's family. HK was really lively man.. Singapore is nothing compared to it. I went to probably 3-4 malls and everyone of them has at least 1 LV, Gucci, Chanel (and all other that sort of stores) in the area. What's more amazing is it's always filled with many people.
Most of those who buy alot are Chinese (mainlanders). I wonder what business they do.. I want to earn that kind of money too. Alot of us are saying we wanna chase the 'American' dream.. maybe it should be the 'Chinese' dream now. But actually it should be the "American Chinese" dream. Not to sound racist or anything but I encountered some bizarre incidents there during my 6 days stay; such as 2 women catfighting and kicking each other at a 5-star hotel. Lol. Never see that one before.
Macau was also nice, although I still prefer LV. The "Cotai Strip" is just being developed so basically if you stay there, you can only go to the 2 hotels that are there now. The rest is not done yet.. but probably after a few more years it will be more fun. At the main Macau island though, the settings are still European-like. I tried the famous egg tart there and man it's good! Too bad I still stay 2 more nights at HK after that, so I can't buy some to bring back.
But well overall, I like both HK and Macau. Oh and my new favorite casino game = Roulette. :)
