Travel Macao Haiku - City Of Dreams Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Macao - city of dreams
that can be made or broken
over a table

Macao
more land reclaimed
for casinos

Macao has become the world's largest casino centre. In two more years, there will be as many as 35 casinos in this former Portuguese settlement. The Cotai Strip reclaimed from a marsrhland is a premier area to be developed into an entertainment, convention and casino enclave.
The casino at Macao Venetian is large as three football fields put together. I walked pass a sign that said HK$5 million was
paid out in the last 24 hours. At every table were full of Chinese both young and old hoping to make a big buck through wheel of fortune, baccarat, and a plathora of other games which I am not familiar with being not a gambler. Hopefully, all of them will not go home with broken dreams in this City of Dreams.
