Macau Day 2   March 28th, 2009

We got up at a good time and took advantage of the free breakfast offered at Starworld. It was pretty good, buffet style. The rest of the day we grinded the tables online and also visited the hotel gym. It was impressive, with new equipment and a trainer guy who was there to assist anyone in the gym. I was looking forward to having a swim in the outdoor pool, but it was closed because of thunderstorms. It might be a good view from the pool, if the smog/fog ever lifts.

In the evening we went to another strange chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor. It was a weird experience, almost the opposite of the night before. It was packed, and after sitting us down in a back corner, the waitresses didnt seem to have any interest in us whatsoever. After more language difficulties I ordered the pidgeon. It was okish, kinda hard to eat with chopsticks and not a whole lot of meat on it. Andy got lemon chicken and we also had rice with crocodile meat to share. Andys food took ages and none of it was that great. No tip for them.

After dinner we visited to local poker room (on the 2nd floor also), and played the 10/20 game. The poker room was less than impressive compared to Lisboa the night before. It only had 2 or 3 tables running, and it was very dull. The drinks are free just like in Vegas, but you wouldnt know it. In Vegas the waitresses are constantly asking players if they want drinks, but you practically have to beg to get one here. The poker was dull, again its a different type of game than vegas, no crazy players, just passive/boring players who love to see flops but dont really put in any more money unless they have a big hand. We definetly have a massive edge in the game but its very slow. 95% of the game involves being patient and waiting for a hand, which isnt a lot of fun when the rest of the table is chatting to each other in Cantonese. Anyway we played for a few hours and then headed back to the room for sleep.
