Macao, the Chinese special administrative region (SAR) often twinned with Hong Kong, is known as the Las Vegas of Asia.
But travelers who are willing to dig in a little deeper can explore Macanese culture, which mixes Portuguese, Chinese and Southeast Asian heritages.
Macao is comprised of two islands – the north one, Macao itself, and its southern neighbor Taipa.
“In Asia, [people] think that Macao is full of casinos, and I think they do not understand the other parts of Macao,” says Lai.
That means that they can live in Macao without a work visa and do not need a company sponsoring them.
