Yes! It's true! I landed in the Hong Kong airport all ready for my total immersion into Asian culture and desperate for some caffeine and the only coffee I could find was a Starbucks. Unreal.
From there I caught the ferry to Macau, where I was going to spend 6 days in a strange parallel universe known as China's version of Las Vegas. It was really weird because it was IDENTICAL to the US Las Vegas. I stayed at the Venetian, which really was just like the one in Las Vegas. If it wasn't for the language and food it would have felt like being in the US.
After 5 days we realized that we hadn't actually gone outside. The Venetian can trick you with that fake blue sky. So on our last day we finished up and made our escape to do a bit of Macau sightseeing with Margie, another contractor who is also working with us. Note the fruit coming all the way from NAPLES, FL!
On to Hong Kong next!
