Macau is Pretty Awesome, Its like Vegas, But With 10% More Asians

Posted 06 June 2009 | By Andrew | Categories: Travels | No Comments

So Lili invited me to come visit her in Macau today and I took her up on the offer. I’d heard it was basically the Chinese Vegas and it basically met all expectations. The Venetian here is 4x the size of the one in vegas. There aren’t as many hotels and they aren’t as concentrated but they are working on it. They’re building a strip and Lili and her husband James bought an apartment that’s on the hill overlooking the new strip, pretty good decision if you ask me.

Oh, the best part about it is the food. It was epic. I had some pretty fantastic curry and thai food. I love Chinese hospitality, Lili had invited me to sleep in her apartment and when I got here they were like “we decided to just get you a hotel room”. Of course they refuse to let me pay for it. That’s where I’m chilling right now, its pretty tight, I have this awesome view of the MGM Grand and the Wynn, and its only 100 bucks a night on a Saturday.

Here’s a random video from when we were just hanging listening to some music in a casino, all of the sudden this couple gets up and starts dancing like retards. They were totally serious too, you should have seen there expressions, it was like they were practicing for a competition, they weren’t even enjoying themselves:

Ok so here’s the entertaining parts, Lili cracks me up. We’re sitting on this sweet dock having dinner at this fantastic Thai place, and like 10 minutes ago I had already noticed these fine looking Russian girls sitting a few tables away. Lili goes “Did you see the russian girls?” and me and James are like “yeah like a year ago”. We didn’t actually say that but me and him were on the same page. Anyways she goes “I think they’re prostitutes”. At first I was like “damn, talkin shit much?” but no seriously, they probably were. I say this because about 30 minutes later they show me the last thing on the tour. We headed over to the Hotel Lisboa where apparently, prostitutes just hang out, and then walk around in this circle like some kind of meat market. There’s a bunch of dudes just standing around creepily stalking them. Eventually the’ll pick one up and do what they do for 100 bucks (I know seems like way too much right).

I found this video on youtube of it, this is exactly what it looked like.

And to answer your question, would I REALLY be posting about this if I actually did it? Plus I’m not into asians, not enough curves.

On a side, non traveling note, me and Clouse came up with some pretty sick inside jokes today that I want to make sure I don’t remember:

“I had sex with this girl and I couldn’t cum… that’s how I knew I loved you”

“I just wanted you to know… I’m having dinner right now on my date, but i’m thinking of your cock in my mouth, just thought you should know”

“Hey, I’m eating chocolate ice cream, I just thought I should tell you, I don’t know how you feel about it”

“I want to fuck”

NOBODY SAID YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET IT.

Poor Baron, he didn’t stand a chance, gotta admire his determination though. Worked hard today, feel like I’m getting somewhere. Lightning MMA is coming along too, ordered a bunch of cool promotional stuff from the printing shop. Hopefully we can use it.

I wish I was there to see the progress right now and help James out, I really feel like I’m missing out. Oh well, I’ll get back a week after his fight and I think that’s when we’ll really be able to start concentrating on getting some clients in the door at the gym.

I’m definitely getting better at basketball, I made a pretty good shot today, our team won like 3 games in a row. My shin splits blow. China is ridiculous, for some reason they blog websites like… twitter (but not facebook), youtube (but not vimeo), and of all things… I can’t get to division1printing.com… the site that I order our promotional stuff from. That was annoying. Thanks for gotomypc and logmein.com though, Just like at work, I have ways around everything.

I’m looking forward to my trip to Macau tomorrow, Lili is supposed to show me around and I think it’ll be a cool experience. I’m not much of a fan of Vegas but this is the Chinese Vegas… soo… it’ll be more serious and with worse food. SOUNDS EXCITING.

On another note, eating at the hotel restaurant has gotten awkward because apparently one of the girls that works there has a crush on me, one of the better english speaking waitresses translated for her “she thinks you’re very handsome”… annoying. So now I’ll be eating and, for example, I’ll get a couple deserts or something, and this girl will bring by a teaspoon, at the exact perfect time. Then, right as i take my last bite off any plate, she’ll come pick it up. Did I mention there’s no tipping in China?

I took this funny pic of Baron after like 3 tiny glasses of the weakest beer in the world, he’s gotta be the biggest lightweight in the world. Poor kid, even the engineer and the manufacturing department heads can drink more than him. We tell him he must be an awful salesmen because Chinese salesman are supposed to be able to drink alot.

Oh well, that’s it for now, I miss home a little. I don’t know where I would be without Clouse to entertain me on AIM. She’s a good friend. She also conveniently stays awake the hours that I’m awake instead of normal human hours. I pretend its because of me, but i’m pretty sure she just has some kind of insomnia disease.
