Macau Trip !!!

Finally decided to venture out of HK to other places after 1 month here. The first of which is macau, pple told me tt it is about the size of tampines and i can simply finish touring around the place within one day. Actually, tts quite true, provided that we arrive there earlier and dun spend too much time at the casinos. Started the day pretty early, at 830am, one of the days i woke up so so early over here and set off for the hk-macau terminal to take the turbojet to macau, but we only like reach macau at 11am.

So first stop of the day is The Venetian, mainly coz there is free shuttle bus from the ferry terminal str8 to the casino, so it kinda save some money..haha...To be honest, we did not really plan the route for this trip, and merely just made impromtu decisions along the way. Ok...the design of the place is quite classy and elegant and all their shops and restaurants are obviously targeting the up-class consumers with their super high prices. So poor pple like me, will just entertain myself by taking pictures and more pictures..haha....I must admit tt this place does look very nice, BUT one thing is that there isnt much "life" here..maybe coz there are not many pple(except in the casino) unlike what was shown on tv a few months ago. Guess the hype over this place is gone. Just hope that when our spore IR which will open next yr will have more "life" and more crowd...Alright..just some nice pics of this place....

Next up..we visited some historical sites in macau which is classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO, namely the ruins of st paul, the st dominic's chruch, senado square and st augustine....din manage to have time to finish walking the whole heritage trail coz of the rain and coz no time to do so. There are a lot of churches around, think its influenced by the portugal culture. The architecture of all these buildings are nice too. If i have more time to take a look at all the hertiage buildings...The street food here is slightly different from hk, they sell the pork cutlet burger, egg tarts and rou gan everywhere...but then tts all their street food is all about...always so limited choices lor...Also bought quite a bit of goodies from the bakeries nearby...hopefully i wun finish eating them in my room these few months, so tt i can bring some back home..haha

i love this pic...=)

the pork cutlet burger shop everywhere.

I initially mistaken it as a MTR station siaz..haha..

The night scene in macau is also very nice....lots of neon light..colourful lightings to brighten up the night.... we were also treated to a fireworks show near the macau tower as it was part of the macau international fireworks festival the day we went.

of coz this is NOT taken using my camera, but it was taken by ME..haha..nice pic right..

And finally, we also went to watch the unique dog racing and this time round i decided to gamble coz the minimum bet is quite low....But we lost..haha..shi du jiu shu siaz....

the gamblers...we bet on 3 different dogs..but still, none won..haha
