It may seem like I chose to drop a “Feat. Big Cat” just so I could piggyback off the new TV Star’s success but this has been the plan ever since he dropped that tourism video last month. At the time I had recently been invited down to the Super 8, the first ever Pan-Asian Basketball tournament, but was on the fence about going as didn’t know how much content I could get. Then out of the blue Big Cat encounters the Macao Tourism board on a stroll through Manhattan and ends up making a little promo for them free of charge. At that moment I knew I needed to go. I mean what’s the point of being a foreign correspondent if you can’t fact check your co-worker’s fake tourism videos.
Needless to say, I wouldn’t suggest anyone rush to add Macao to the bucket list. However, if you’re a wealthy degenerate gambler who likes paying for sex and free pencils, I could see you enjoying yourself for 48 hours. I say “wealthy degenerate gambler” as the minimums at casinos there are in many cases double or triple what you’ll find in Vegas. (People don’t gamble in Macao for entertainment, they see it as an investment.) And in terms of the food, I love Chinese food and I love Portuguese food but for some reason when you combine the two you get the most “meh” food of all time. The type of food they are most famous is a pork chop sandwich. Zero condiments. Zero add-ons. Just meat and bread. Don’t get me wrong, I ate like 20 of them. They’re not bad. Just doesn’t seem like something I’d want to stake my country’s reputation on.
That being said, I obviously chose to focus on the negatives in this video and blog so let’s end on a positive note. Macao does have an “old town” section which is cool to walk around in for 45 minutes to an hour. It even has the facade of this old church(St. Pauls) which is cool to look at. There you have it, fair and balance reporting.
