VEGAS

No, Macau baby!

Macau, a former Portuguese colony, thrives on a booming economy of gambling and tourism. Its one of two "special administrative regions" in China - Hong Kong being the other.

The "turbojet" was a speedy one hour ride from Hong Kong to Macau. Riding in "super-class" had its perks, like snack service and being the first passengers to exit upon docking. You still need to go through customs and unfortunately that was a timely, crowded mess.

Miss Macau, as we dubbed her, was poised elegantly at the entrance of the Wynn Hotel and Casino where she greeted guests with a gleaming smile.

The lower level of the Wynn Hotel, in high-end chic Vegas style, hosted designer showrooms from Dior, Miu Miu, Gucci, Prada and more...

Macau's Portuguese origins were most evident at the center of town.

One of the most popular sites at Macau was this facade... The Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral...

I believe this was a fashion shoot rather than a wedding shoot as the photographer's cap read

"fuck the paparazzi"...

The weather got stormy on the return trip to Hong Kong making the turbojet ride not as pleasurable. Thank goodness it was only an hour long!
