Working in Macau
Well I have just finished up a three day tour working in Macau with the guys and it is nice to get back to the hotel and relax with some TV and sitting in the AC. One thing that I do a ton of in Asia, is sweating and also having a ton of patience. When dealing with a new culture and also being a foreigner, I have learned a lot. I have learned that a lot of what I was taught in school when it comes to writing, you can throw out the window when writing to a person who speaks English as a second language. There is also a lot of street smarts that are handy to have and I think that I have become a better bargainer. One thing that no one ever teaches in the states is how to bargain and never accept the price for what it is. The above picture is actually taken from Bar street in Zhuhai where all of us went to Coheba and played pool, sang karaoke, and had a few beverages. After visiting multiple shops in a day and working my tail off, it was nice to take a night off and visit this hopping street. The side walk had dance lights in it and the trees had lights all over it as well. It was pretty impressive at night time when it was all up and running and there were a ton of people!
