Helllloooo Macao! Over the next 3 days we will be exploring this beautiful place! This Special Administrative Region of China is a mere stonesthrow from Hong Kong, so of course we kick things off by hopping on a quick ferry straight to Taipa! Formerly a Portuguese colony until 1999, this place has a super unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese cultures - which can only result in something so wonderfully Macanese! This can be seen from it’s buildings all the way to the delicious food! Macao is known as the "Las Vegas of Asia, so it’s only right that we try our luck at one of the many casinos, who knows… maybe we will beat all odds! From the colourful and bright area of Cotai to the culturally rich Historic centre, this place really had something for everyone.
