lai see... you're doing it wrong.
so yeah. Gung hei fat choi. So there are all these crazy rules for how you're supposed to hand out lai see. It has to be a red pocket, it has to be brand new money and it has to be an even denomination. Then there are the rules for who you are supposed to hand it out to. Obviously I didn't get the handbook, but any holiday where I can hand out envelopes stuffed with crisp shiny cash is fine with me.
I had fun, but one of my assistants stopped me during lunch and asked why my pocket was so funny. It felt odd. I told her that she should be careful, I had filled it with tiny little sparrows that would fly out when she opened it. Either that or gunpowder.
little did I know you're only supposed to put one bill in the envelope. I shoved it full.
didn't matter, I hung out in my new hometown... Macau. Wandered around looking at furniture, eating dim sum, peanut candies and fresh portuguese egg tarts. Then we took the whole crew down to the other side of the island - Coloane, where we had an amazing little dinner in a tiny portuguese restaurant.
The Police were amazing, but ninety five percent of the people at the Venetian could have cared less. Gamblers.
