good talk

If the Russians cross my palm with silver I'll like 'em a whole lot.  2x2=4   2x4=8  2x8=16  2x16=32, you get the picture.  The first-time I was in Macau was 1998, and it was just a bunch of Mom and Pop casinos owned by Stanley Ho, I was back in 2005, and the Sands was the only big casino, I was there on a Tues. nite, and it was like Las Vegas.  Today there's an abundance of 4 and 5 star casinos on Macau Peninsula, Cotai, and Taipa Island, all close and connected.  I was in the MGM, the Wynn, and the Grand Lisboa, the only 5 stars considered De Luxe, yeah, quite good.  I met Peter Wurthmuller, a real-big German guy, 10 years younger, in the MGM, he has condos he rents-out in Munich, and he told me of his travels in China, which inspired me to similar.  His political-talk was really good, I wouldn't mind bumping into Peter, yet again. There's been a downturn in Macau's casinos' revenue, but they were jam-packed in late April, so I couldn't tell.  Macau has 670 thou on 11.7 sq. mi., the most densely-populated area in the world. Portuguese from 1557 to 1999, when it became part of China.  I saw the ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, 1602, I was in Macau Cathedral, I was in Senado Square and the Leal Senado (Portuguese houses of legislature).  I visited the Fortaleza do Monte, the 16th century fort, and part of the same hill is the historical museum, Museum of Macau, both of these real fine which to go
