Things Between Us Friends—3rd

              Things Between Us Friends—3rd


         As is known to all. Macau is famous for gambling, and there is a saying going like this " he who has never gambled in Macau has not really been there."


         As is known to all. " When it comes to gambling, you will (definitely) lose nine games out of ten".—" Shi Du Jiu Shu". It is true.
         Let me explain that saying to you.


         After arriving in Macau. We found a free bus and got in to a cafeteria for lunch. When i was geting off the bus. My head was hit by the fastback. Then the driver turned to me and said happily : " you are very lucky , so you must have to gamble today." in cantonese, head being hit by something means you are a lucky dog.


         Macau is not that big place as i imagined and the most beautiful architectures are its gambling hells. I went to one of the most famous —Grand Lisboa and i felt like i was in Las Vegas when i got into it.


          We didn't have much money with us so we can only play the one-arm bandits. You can just insert 10 ,20, 50,100...HKD into it and then press some buttons and just let it be. At first, i insert 10 HK dollar but it turned out to be 1 HK dollar left. And it was the same to Rebecca. So after visiting around the marvellous gambling hell we went to the service desk for 2 HK dollars. We laughed aloud and comforted ourselves, you insert 10 and it turn out 1, so that is why people call it " Shi Du Jiu Shu"( or you can say that Du Shi Shu Jiu)....haha.


          But it turned out that the driver was wrong. Even though my head was hit, i was not a lucky dog that day.
