Following on from last time, it's been a few weeks since my last visit to Macau.

This time,

I'm going to meet my casino and blogging seniors,

Freeman,

Jack,

mamezo!!!

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep well the night before.

I'll meet them on the third night.

I'll enjoy the casino first and secure some funds before then.

The flight is FM817, Shanghai Hongqiao 10:05 -> Macau 12:40.

We took off almost on time at 10:11, and arrived safely in Macau.

As we approached Macau airport, we lowered our altitude and landed...

But just as we were about to touch down on the runway, the heavy rain and wind started shaking the plane.

I wonder if it's okay...

Just as I was thinking that, the engine suddenly opened up and we climbed up into the sky.

Should we turn around and try again?

Then, an announcement was made on the plane.

What? Due to bad weather, we gave up on landing in Macau and landed at Haikou Airport? ? ?

Whaaaaat?! ... We took the shuttle bus to our hotel, the Parisian.

It was 5pm, so there was no line to check in, and we were able to get into our room smoothly.

We could see the Eiffel Tower from our room.

It was spacious enough.

It even had a bathtub!

The last time I stayed at the Parisian, there was no bathtub, so I was happy.

I organized my luggage and went to the casino.

First, I tried my luck at baccarat, as usual.

This time I'm going with P.

I sat at an empty table and made my first bet on P.

The first two cards were

P 8 6

B 5 6

B's third card opened

Cone!

Just as I shouted, a picture came out, and I practically had it.

I slowly squeezed P's third card, and

Yes!

I saw the picture frame, and won!

There was some trouble with the plane this time, but I won the test of luck.

Will it go well?

Now, on to my favorite BJ.

The Parisian has few BJ machines, and I remember being beaten badly there before, so I avoided it at first.

I start at Studio City next door.

But then...

Lose

Lose

Lose

Oh

Change table

Lose

Lose

Lose

Hmm, no good

Since it doesn't seem like I can win, I give up on Studio City and move to Venetian.

Venetian's BJ is a bit high at min500 and 1000, but there are many machines and I can move around.

Also, I have the impression that I've won there before, so it seems to me that it's the second best place after Studio City.

I sit down at the min500 table and start playing.

But then...

Win

Win

Win

Oh!

It was Venetian after all.

After a toilet break and a slot in between, I get another BJ.

I win here too, and the first day ends.

I make up for my loss at Studio City at Venetian, and break even on the first day.

The real thing starts tomorrow, let's do our best!
