MACAU
Country Overview:
“Casinos, food, and people, all with a Portuguese twist”
I visited Macau with my brother in 2019, right after the Chinese Spring Festival, and we had a super fun time. For me, the city was really interesting due to it’s Asian and Portuguese mix, not only in the architecture but also in the food. And, of course, the casinos were fun to see and visit. Coming from China, where there are absolutely no casinos and not a lot of “glitz & glam,” the neon lights and extravagant facades of Macau’s casinos were a welcome sight, if not only for the contrast they provide the city. Due to its size and the fact that there isn’t a whole lot to do besides gamble and eat, I wouldn’t recommend more than a few days in Macau. And despite China’s adamant stance on writing Macau with an “O,” I will still use a “U” since that’s how it’s spelled on the money.
