Many years ago, travelling used to be enjoyed only by the privileged few. But with the onset of cheap airfares almost all throughout the year, it has become affordable even to ordinary individuals. Of course, nothing beats the jetsetter-like feeling of packing one’s stuff for a leisure trip and boarding a plane to land on some place away from pressures of work and daily hustles and bustles.

In 2010, I was one of the lucky ones to book a discounted plane ticket to Macau. I call it lucky because online cheap deals on airfares tend to be sold out very fast on the very same day of promotion. It is my first time to be out of the country so you can imagine how excited I was the moment the plane landed on the airport.

Macau is just a ferry boat ride away from Hongkong that runs approximately 60-75 minutes of travel time. While Hongkong boasts of streets filled with shops and eating places, Macau prides itself as the Las Vegas of Asia. Colorful and flickering lights coming from fancy hotels and casinos envelop the entire place, the perfect reason why Macau remains to be a top tourist destination all year round.
