Mahjong anyone?
Just a note to let everyone know that I've been invited to participate in the World Series of Mahjong competition! I leave home to catch the ferry to Macau in just a few minutes. Wish me luck ;-)
I haven't been over to Macau for a very long time. Casinos and casino gambling don't interest me. It will be interesting to see how it has changed, and if it has changed for the better. I suspect that a lot of culture and history has been lost which would be a shame. Glass and aluminium can become boring very quickly.
Cheers all.

I guess you look at the game from a cultural point of view then there's a lot to contemplate about. My folks used to tell me that folks pick their son-in-law over mahjong table, where people show their real personality.

thank you. somebody with the company thought it would be interesting if the local 'gwai lou' entered the competition. they were really happy to discover that I actually know how to play!
the competition will be on again next year. the tournament will probably get bigger every year.

funny
I find it quite funny that you can play mahjong, even well enough to enter an international competition :D
You really take the Chinese culture to the full don't you?
Be careful don't turn into a 賭鬼啊!!!
Good Luck Greg.
