To get to Macau we flew from Hanoi to Bangkok, slept on the floor at the airport, then flew from Bangkok to Macau. What a mission! Somehow though when we flew into Macau I wasn't tired, I was excited. Well, I was about to do the worlds highest bungy jump!
I've never really thought of a city as beautiful before, its not really my thing. But Macau IS beautiful. It's so clean and so varied in everything from food to people to buildings. There are buildings as old as 1500 (which for a Kiwi is like the oldest building Ive ever seen!) and then there are a number of amazing modern buildings. Macau is a mini vegas, except more money is spent there annually than in Vegas! (Thanks to rich Chinese men)
The bungy...was REALLY REALLY high. It was so unreal when we got up there. I watched a girl go before me who had never done a bungy before and there she was, doing the worlds highest one. Apparently 95% of people who do the jump its their first time. And you thought I was mad!
I wasn't overly nervous until I was standing on the platform and felt how heavy the cord was, even if I didn't want to jump, I'd be going over the edge because that cord was so heavy it was going to pull me down with it! I closed my eyes for a second until I was falling and then I realised how awesome it was. I kept my eyes open and couldn't believel how fast I was falling! It was soo much fun. Well, it was fun until Id finished bouncing and hung upside down for about 5 mins. I honestly thought maybe they had forgotten about me as there was no one I could see at the bottom. My ankles were really hurting (and were sore for about 3 hours after) and I was pretty dizzy! Eventually I was lowered to the ground and wanted to do it all over again!
That night we got all dressed up for the first time in a while and headed out to the casinos. We didn't even need to go inside, just looking at them from the outside was awesome enough! We did go in and play some pokies, and watch a show or 2, but we really had no idea how to play any of the real games so we just watched other people lose their money! We ended up at MGM casino, where there was a nice little cocktail bar. While we were sitting there, in walked a group of pornstars! I don't know what is so fascinating about porn stars but we couldn't stop looking at them, and neither could the rest of the room. Although it was kind of funny, they looked really gross to me, and you could tell they all thought they were so extremely hot. Laughable.!
Thats really the end of Macau - the next morning we jumped on the boat to Hong Kong!
