So after a combination of two flights, a ferry and a hotel courtesy bus I am now ensconced in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Macau.
The hotel is brand new (it only opened a couple of months ago) and has got to be one of the best places I've ever stayed at. It doesn't have a casino attached, which is a good thing!
I had a short time yesterday afternoon to explore the area near to the hotel. This includes the mega-casinos/hotels of the MGM Grand, Wynn Macau, Star World and the Grand Lisboa. Lots of neon!
I went for dinner at the 'Noodle and Congee Corner' which overlooks one of the gaming floors at the Grand Lisboa. I had a massive bowl of 'hand pulled' noodles (you can see the chefs making them) and then wandered amongst people losing (and maybe winning) money at a variety of different games. I was definitely not tempted to join them!
