Macau might be worth a stay

I've made several trips to Macau over the past few years but it's been a good decade-plus since I spent a decent amount of time simply walking around the Macau peninsula just to look around. I spent a few hours this afternood and even walking about 17 kilometers with a friend who is in town and am very impressed with the changes and improvements I've seen.

The SAR is so much cleaner and the parks and public facilities are much improved over what they used to be. The waterfront, in particular, has an amazing public playground with some of the biggest and tallest playground equipment I've ever seen. I wish it was open to adults!

Despite its massive casino industry, it looks like Macau would actually be relatively pleasant place to live. It's one of those places that's sort of off the beat path of the digital nomad and jet setting travelers. Lots of people spend a month or two in Bangkok or Hong Kong or a few weeks in Shanghai, but who comes to Macau for more than a night or two out at the casinos, the nice bars or the restaurants? Maybe they should!
