Let's Go M-A-C-A-U

I have 5 days vacation and we're in Hongkong, so why not stop by in Macau, which is just a ferry away from HK Mainland, right?

 

If it's my sister's task to tour us in Hongkong, it's my job to make sure we're not getting lost in Macau, but the thing is I'm not really good in reading maps. They said to experience a country, one must get lost and so our Macau Adventure starts when we we're not able to get down in our supposedly bus stop. We ended up walking instead until we reach our target hotel, which I'm telling you is not easy as it seems.

Obviously, we need to start exploring Macau immediately and so after settling ourselves in Hotel Kou Va, we immediately went to Senado Square and started our walkathon. Our first stop is obviously the Ruins of St. Paul. There are a lot of tourist, lot of shops but what I definitely like going to the ruins are the free taste of the bakeries out there. Why waste money for food when you can have it for free...wag lang magpapahalata...hehe :)

But some foods are not just free, you need to buy it like the Portuguese Egg Tart and Steamed Pork Bun. Anyways, our walkathon didn't end in the Ruins, after that we went to the Monte Fort, then to the Camoes and Casa Garden.

Thank God for the sign post like this...it helps tourist a lot,if you still get lost while following its direction then you have a major problem in your sense of direction...

If Macau is alive during the day, the night life is not different. With all the lights a blazing in every Hotel and Casinos in Macau, I don't know if the people still sleeps or not. Of course, our tour in Macau will not be complete if we don't visit the famous hotels and casinos out there right...and with all the free shows they have could we ask for more? Free shuttle bus, free shows...this is how we tour Macau the cheapest way. :)

Our first stop is the City of Dreams, where the free Bubble Show is being shown. It is on the other side of Macau so we need to ride their shuttle. Before the show starts, we decided to tour the Venetian Hotel first. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to explore the Hotel that much so we just saw the lobby and that's it. After seeing the show, we immediately went to the Wynn hotel for the Fountain Show and the Tree of Prosperity Show.

The following day, we decided to tour the rest of Macau with the first stop in A-Ma Temple followed by the Flora Garden where we rode a cable car to reach the Guia Hill and Fortress. We then went to the Lotus Flower then spend our time looking for the Grand Prix and Wine Museum, which is just a few blocks from where we were standing.

Of course, one should always try the food of the country you're visiting, so we decided to buy some of their traditional food, or rather their street foods, which is almost like the street food here in the Philippines although more authentic. We also tried their Milk Tea, which for me tasted the same like the one found here in our country.

Street foods (fish balls, etc), Serradura (saw dust pudding)

Our short stay in Macau is fun and more colorful, with all the picturesque scenery. But I still love HongKong with all the shopping store you could find left and right. Anyways, if given a chance I would still love to visit the place and play some games in their casinos.
