Who knew that the country of Macau had such a Las Vegas vibe. Neither of us have ever stepped foot in Vegas, but if glitzy lights and, tacky buildings designed specifically with gamblers in mind is what one is searching for, than this is the place to find it. On the other hand, many of the streets are cobblestone with some beautiful architecture to the buildings, mainly due to the influence of the Portuguese.
So we took a ferry from Hong Kong to Macau this morning. We checked into our hostel after spending a few too many minutes trying to navigate the windy roads of Macau. We are staying at a hostel on a dorm with six other people in our room. So far, we've only met one other tourist, but the hostel owner said that the place is booked tonight. We spent the remainder of the day trying new food and wandering around the streets. Tomorrow we will go to Penang, Malaysia. We're looking forward to some warmer weather, as it has been a little cool so far. Malaysia promises to bring warm sunshine and hot temperatures. We'll see how we feel after a few weeks of that.
More to come, but for now, we rest. we've done a lot of walking over the last few days, barely taking the subway and instead choosing to walk everywhere. But, that's also the best way to see what a city has to offer.
