Day 2: Macau

The second day started with a Turbo Jet ride from Kowloon to Macau. The tickets were about $25 USD per person per direction, it's a bit pricey so consider getting the most out of your time in Macau by staying the night.

Portuguese egg tarts. Sampled a few, all were better than any I've had in the US. My brother says even these aren't remotely as good as the one's he had in Lisbon. I'll have to try that someday.

Macau's casinos feel quite a bit like Vegas, in that they are over the top. But Vegas definitely has a better atmosphere.
