I was already standing in the check-in line at the Budapest airport when I heard my name called. A Finnair employee called me and said that due to the typhoon approaching Hong Kong, I could only get to Helsinki with this plane, because the Helsinki-Hong Kong flight was canceled, so she suggested that I rebook my ticket for a later date, or if possible, they would help me rebook with another company. We found an option, but before they could book the ticket, the plane was canceled, so I stayed in Budapest for three more days, even though my wife was already on her way to Hong Kong. The following Tuesday, I was at the airport again, and we finally left for Helsinki and then to Hong Kong. Upon arrival, it turned out that my luggage had not been put on the plane, so I gave my address there, where to deliver the package when it arrived, and I left the arrivals area with my emergency change of clothes in my hand luggage. My wife was already waiting for me, we headed to our accommodation to drop off what I didn’t need for the next few days, and then we headed on to the port.
So I arrived into Macau, with only one change of clothes. The city’s impressive casinos are reminiscent of Vegas, and you can find many of the same hotel and casino brands as in Vegas here, but this one is clearly Asian. The decorations of the buildings, but especially the restaurants, which typically offer the best of Chinese cuisine, remind us of where we are. And of course, you have to play here if there are so many casinos, but you only do well if you let your lucky wife sit at the roulette table.
