Phase 2!

so i have now figured out the best way to do this......write a little every day or so...and publish it on my day off...that way i can keep you all up to date....and posting more often...which has been a struggle of mine.....

so tomorrow will be the soft opening of our 2nd inside canal....we call it the "Marco Polo" canal...which features lovely italian architecture and even some chinese flare....as soon as they let me bring my camera in...ill have some pics........so we will be opening that...it is quite a bit more difficult to row that the other canal due to blind spots and stuff...so we will be relying on communication and awareness for this one..........the official opening will be on monday......but i am feeling it will not be so popular because there is not a store on that side of the mall which is open....but hey...who knows.....

this means there is one more final canal to open as with about a 1000 rooms and the cirque de sole theatre and just about everything in the venetian will be open........

food here has become quite good......when exploring.....we have found many places to dine that bring back the memories from home....my favorite....being the most expensive of coarse...(good taste comes from mom and dad....thanks guys!!) is a brazilian steak house call fogo samba.....f=for 350 MOP a person...one can go upstairs.....dine at a buffet which includes....salads....cheeses.....appetizers....some meats...fruits...veggies....all while your "personal" cantadores i think they are called deliver fresh hot cheese rolls...fresh fried polenta.....the best green beans i have had...as they are pretty much INJECTED with garlic...and of coarse mashed potatoes.........and then they offer you the MAIN coarse...you flip your poker chip to the green side to signal "go" and they waiters proceed to bring you 15 different kinds of meats....from chicken to lamb...to BEEF...oh beef!
just about every cut you could think of...they serve...after being freshly rotated slowly over a pit of coals.....they bring these meats on a long sword/skewer and carve it for you fresh right on the spot....and if at anytime you need a break...or would like to resumer service...a turn over of the poker chip is all that is required.....
and then the dessert.

picture this....fresh, ripe delicious pinnapple......good along right? imagine this freshly carved and coated generously with brown sugar...cane sugar...and cinnammin.......and roasted over hot coals so this sugary madness turns to carmel and coats this beautiful fruit...and once they serve you a piece....time to "RECOAT" the thing in sugar until you would like more.......
you may have as much meat and this as you want....MMMMMMM.

and of coarse they have other stuff too.......

wow....its 3 in the morning and this sounds glorious.

anyways.....food is no longer the issue....health of the food in the employee dinning room may be tho....things have never been quite right in there....worms WERE spotted in the broccoli.....guess its going to be cup of noodles again.....

and finally...all of the trainers have left...the rest of the training will be done in vegas and finished here.....but who knows when more will arrive....i let one of my good buddies know there might be a spot here as a supervisor....a pretty cake job....it would be great to have another familiar face here.

this seems to be it. pictures ARE coming.......
oh...i did change my name...its
