Shall We Go Macau?

I have a little time before work starts. Shall I go Macau? Shall I? Should I? And then lament over a small hole in the pocket and suffer from cognitive dissonance over spending on a trip I don't exactly need and had plans for initially. Argh...dilemma dilemma...

But...
Macau is the gateway to Hong Kong (dessert! shopping @ Mong Kok! CDs!) + China (incredibly cheap buys!)


I can spend 2 days in Macau, 1 in Hong Kong and 1 in Zhu Hai!

Macau is one of Asia's most European-looking cities


And Tiger Airway's tix to Macau is cheap - just $250 to fly there and back!

However...
Why not save the money for Japan next year? No matter how cheap, Macau's still gonna cost me around $800 for tix, hotel and expenses.

I've just been to China, and I don't exactly need anything from Hong Kong.

I can spend time at home, doing a lot more things.

I dunno. The devil is still arguing with the angel :S
