macau recap

as you can tell from the past couple posts, i was just in macau not too long ago

i didn't stay there that long either

just a bit over 2 hours to be exact

landed in macau around 11am on tuesday (3/20), flew back to taiwan around 1:20pm

i ended up being awake for over 35 hours

not fun

the reason for the short stay in macau is because i was playing the role of delivery boy

i had to personally deliver some parts for our factory in china

our engineer for this project came out to macau to meet me, took the parts and rushed off to the factory

why not use a courier like dhl or fedex you are asking?

because there was simply no time

so why was i up for over 35 hours?

because i was out in our factory in taiwan with our crew trying to make good enough parts for china to use

we were there until 5:30am when we finally made enough good parts

as soon as i got them, i went home, packed the stuff, took a shower and rushed off to the airport to try to hop on the earliest possible flight out to macau

i got there at 7:50am

i missed the 6am and the 8am flights

8:55am flight it was

i was some expensive delivery boy too

the flight cost nt$18,000 (approx. us$550)

regularly, flights to macau are under nt$10,000 (approx. under us$310)

if we had used a courier service to deliver the parts, it would probably cost $550 as well... nt$ tho', but it would arrive the next day, and that's not even guaranteed

there was simply no time

when i flew back to taiwan i went back to work instead of going home

it was only 3pm when i got back and if i go home i would definitely fall asleep and wake up in the middle of the night

not fun

by the time i got off work, went home, took care of some errands and went to sleep it was 9:30pm

which makes that a bit over 35 hours since i last slept

not fun
