Arrival

9/6/10

1:01am

The ferry from Hong Kong is currently pulling into Macau. Judging by the glimpses I've had of the neon signs dominating the coastline I can only surmise that the world I am about to enter is most bizarre...


1:45am
The taxi-ride has provided welcome relief after the harrowing experience of transporting my heavy baggage from airport to train to taxi to ferry to ferry stop to taxi. There is a Cantonese song playing on the radio and it is raining outside.

2:00am
We have pulled up to the Venetian. My jaw has dropped. It actually just fell open at the sight of the place. Inside the lobby there is classical music going full blast and if you crane your neck upwards you can behold the legacy Michelangelo has left to this earth - to be forever emulated with cookie-cutter images of naked dudes on clouds.


3:00am
So tired. 8:30am start tomorrow. Am spread out on a King.
