This is where you have to go to strike it rich -- Australia's mines.
And go to Macau on your week-off. Published on Feb 2, 2013
This week on Counting the Cost we look at one of the world's most unique economies. Macau's economy expanded 14 percent last year and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, quite the opposite. If all predictions are correct, the former Portuguese colony will have the fastest growing economy in the world this year with an unemployment rate of two percent. But all this is dependent on gambling, which makes up 95 percent of Macau's economy. So, will its reliance on high-rolling gamblers put Macau's economy at risk?

wealth and fame may pass away,

true love abides all way.
through the world i'll gladly go,
if one true love i know."
