Episode #201 - The Return
February 21, 2017
This week we return with the first episode of season 2 after an extended break over the summer. We open with some talk about an interesting proposal for the Sunshine Coast in Queensland which recently got Council approval. If built, Actve will be a huge precinct complete with hotel, shops, adventure sports, and even a water park. We give our thoughts on the idea, and especially on the first phase which is due to start construction this year.
Sam then kicks of the first part of his series talking about his trip to Hong Kong. Part 1 includes talking about the AIA Great European Carnival which was in town along with their unique token system for rides. He also talks about one of his highlights of the trip, Macau, which has been labeled the Chinese Vegas. There's plenty of talk on the Disney-level theming of the Venetian and Parisian Casinos and the attractions within them. A favourite from the trip was Studio City which included the unique Golden Reel and Batman Dark Flight as well as the incredible House of Dancing Water show at City of Dreams.
Check out the album below of some of the photos from Sam's day in Macau.
