      i think the fortune teller is right. you seem like a very kind and adventurous person and are growing at a fast rate. if you keep going down this path, you will probably see success. your editing is very clean and entertaining. i think some people who probably dont know anything about geography or traveling the world, they probably will love these videos too

    Thanks for your video Ben. Macau has fallen into tough times - it wasn't like this pre-pandemic and 10 years ago. I live close to Macau and keep hearing how it's become almost another situation of the death of the high street where many shops and restaurants have closed down in a lot of the supposed touristy and busy places. It just isn't thriving, booming and growing anywhere as it once was and that's a shame since it has such a rich, interesting and fascinating history involving Portugal for example. A real gem in Asia that a lot of people don't know about.

    • @GaneshPalraj1991

    Anyone from East and SE Asia, and expats living abroad all know about Macau, and it's been a gambling mecca for decades, even when the territory was under Portuguese rule. One of the biggest influences from Portugal is the egg custard tart, which made its way to Hong Kong and has become the dim sum staple in Cantonese staple for decades. You can find the HK Egg Custard and the Macanese version throughout most Chinese communities around the world.

    Thank you for the video. But you hardly brought back those fond memories. Fleeing from China, my family spent some years in HK and Macau before we left Asia altogether. As a teen in this lovely tranquil Portughese colony in the late fifties, there was only one casino which no one under 18 could enter…it so saddens me to see this blatant transformation of a simple and quiet place into a major SIN city in the world. We revisited but could hardly find our ways.😢

    Like when the British took Hong Kong, the Portuguese took Macau on the other side of the river. Macau was ceeded around the time of the opium wars I think, but had Portuguese on the land way before. The territories are linked by bridges and tunnels now so you can drive to Macau from Hong Kong. I think the Chinese took a softer touch to Macau than Hong Kong post reunification. Great video.

    I went to Macau years ago, biggest thing I noticed was the size iof the minimun bets. In the US you can bet a buck at a time and spend all night going through your money. In Macau its HK$100 a time at the cheapest tables, but most people I saw were playing Baccarat for $1000 a time; no messing about, people are here to gamble. Not sure if it is still the same, but when I was there, mainland Chinese could only visit once a year, and sometimes a person would bet for a whole village. Also the Portuguese egg tarts...
