Thursday meant a day off from Rugby and a venture over the water to neighbouring Macau. We visited one of 36 casinos, The Venetian, which is the largest casino in the world containing thousands of suites, tables, machines and a huge shopping mall with its own miniature version of Venice complete with Gondolas. Following a tour of the casino and business districts we visited a Buddhist temple and learned about the history of the Portuguese colony and it's effect on the culture and society in Macau. Then we explored the old town to look at the cathedrals and Portuguese influenced architecture. We ended the day with a huge budget lunch in one of Macau's dazzling hotels where the boys absolutely cleaned up!
