Trip to Macau - Day 2

On the second day, we made our journey south. To the island of Taipa.


We took bus No. 11 to go there. The trip took only 15 minutes to reach one of the tourist spots. The main attraction to go there is try out the foods plus Venetian Macau.




Reaching Venetian Macau. The view is from the back of Venetian.




I'm now in Venice. Really!!








No need to travel to Venice to see the canal and gondola, Venetian Macau got it all.




A replica of St. Mark's Square in Venetian.





We were tricked into believing that we're already in Venice minus the pigeons!!




The hand painted sky ceiling is just so real. You'll believe it's the real sky at first!!




The man in white in white clothing is some sort of live statue. To see him in action, drop any amount of money on the floor and watch he changes his postures and actions. You're not supposed to consider this guy as money changer though.


I wonder if he can accept "Hell's Note". I got plenty of those back home. :P


P/S: The guy wearing the black shirt in the background is also a statue. To see him in action, offer him food. Hahaha...




The ceiling in the center of the Venetian. Some says that the ceiling are pure gold.




Take the escalator down and you've reached the Venetian Casino.




The casino here are so classy. They provide FREE mineral water, chinese tea, orange juice etc around the clock. If you're bored, can can hangout at the bar and see the stage show performance.




This ceiling mural is located above the Venetian reception.




This ball sculpture is said to be made fom pure gold.




The long hallway is leading to the suites, shopping center and restaurants. If you're lost, look for the people wearing the black and white stripe shirt and red scarf.




Pork Chop Burger. One of the popular food in Macau. The kopitiam was full with people by the time we reached there.






The pork chop was deep fried and later slapped between their hand made bread.





Arghh!!! Rows of delicious egg tarts. We ordered 4 egg tarts for our tea break.




Looks can be deceiving. It looks like a nomal egg tart selling in Kuching.




After you've taken the first bite, you'll be surprised by how soft and moist the egg tarts are. The egg white are seen still dripping from the center. DELICIOUS!!

Trip to Macau - Day 1

I've been MIA for some time due to my my trip to Macau. It's a wonderful trip to fill up one's stomach and feast your eyes on the cultures of Macanese.

Feels like you don't wanna come back after having such a wonderful holiday. Wish I can strike Jackpot so I can retire early and travel all over the world. Hahaha. 8-D

Here are some pics that we took.




A busy street in Macau. On our way to Ruins of St. Paul



The most popular tourist attraction. Ruins of St. Paul Cathederal.


A statue symbolizing peace. Perhaps I'm wrong. The real meaning is that the ladies here are more daring to give the men flowers. Totally the opposite way around. Hahaha...



Part of downtown area in Macau.



A shot from the top of Museum of Macau.

Grand Lisboa is the new casino opposite Casino Lisboa. It features a round sphere with led lights sorrounding it. Should see it in live action.
