Day 4, Macau Trip

It's my Birthday!!! 

Woke up at 8.30 in the morning, started packing everything into my bag and returned all cards to Dailou before I began my journey to Sheung Wan to meet with Dee and Sunny to Macau.

As I arrived Sheung Wan, I was not allowed to take the escalator due to the luggage I was pulling along. I had to spend 15 minutes waiting for my turn to take the elevator up to the ground floor. I expected them to wait for me there but they were nowhere to be found. I couldn’t call out as my phone was in my luggage bag somewhere so I went around looking for a phone. The people who worked in the building didn’t allow me to use their phones. I had to ask a lady who was waiting for other companions for her phone. She was nice enough to give it to me with a smile.

Finally I went up with them for breakfast before heading to the customs. Having a big luggage bag is not easy if you are travelling to Macau via speed boat. You can either pay 25HKD to take your own luggage bag on the ship or have them ship the bag for you but having a delay from waiting for luggage at the other side. Thank God for having these two guys to help me with my 30KG luggage.

As I got on the speed boat, I felt a little dizzy as the boat was just floating and being very wobbly. As soon as it started moving, I was fine. I started taking pictures of my bunny, which I took all the way from Malaysia.

We arrived in about 1 hour. Dee got us some Portugese tarts and they were sure YUM! They were not from the famous stalls but just an ordinary one. It was already very satisfying for me.

We then took a taxi to our hotel, which was across the sea. I started taking pictures in the taxi like a normal tourist would do.

After leaving our luggage in the room, we had a walk around the casino before heading back across the sea for sightseeing. Seems like the place where we were staying is a casino paradise while across the sea is more to a tourist spot.

I bought some local snacks in a random biscuit shop before we headed on to our meals. The floor was very interesting, so I took some photos of my dirty shoes. LOL!!!



First, we had some wanton noodles and also some duck blood, which was something I never imagined myself eating. We also had some beef.

Then, Dee brought us to have some shark fin soup. It was sinfully good! The shop was so small that everyone had to queue up outside and going in there is a hassle.

The buildings outside however were just stunning! Here’s where I took the opportunity to test out my camera functions, especially with a professional photographer with me.

Just when I thought that it was the end of our meals for the time being, Dee says we were going for some milky dessert. It was crazy as we were so full already! It was some soya milky dessert that was super smooth! I can say I was really in heaven. This surely did make up for the Australian Dairy Company in Hong Kong that I never got the time to go to.

As we walked to find a taxi to take me back the other side, I had to take more pictures of the buildings. 

It was ridiculous as we wasted 30 minutes looking for a taxi that was willing to send me back the other side. After much failure, Nansin came to rescue us instead in his Golf GTI. How nice of him to be our driver. LOL.

I got to my show about 5 minutes late. I watched House on Dancing Water alone, since nobody else wanted to join me due to the expensive tickets. I started snapping pictures as I watched on, but after amazing scenes, I slowly put down my camera and just focused. I spent about RM3xx for Zone B tickets and it was sure worth it. It was only 1 and a half hours, but it blew my mind away! Imagine a circus that was performed on a stage which could fill up with water in seconds and also get rid of it in seconds? What about seeing a whole hut rise up from nowhere? The stunt bikers were so incredibly awesome!!! In this show, I teared up and nearly cried because of how amazing it was. It wasn’t even a soap opera!!!

After my show, the boys came to get me and went back the other side for more touristy spots. I’ll let the pictures talk for itself.

And here’s the famous Ruins of St. Paul.

Then, we took a walk around before heading to the casinos. 



Apparently the casino we went to was one of the oldest casinos in town. I saw many pretty ladies that dressed sexily but still acceptably presentable, who walked around and apparently, that’s what they do for attention. You know what I mean.

At about 11pm, we finally settled down for a nice Thai meal.

After our meal, Nansin drove us up the hill as we saw the beautiful scenery of Macau, which not every tourist gets to do. However, due to roadworks, we could only take a picture with my monopod stretched out and not with ourselves in it too.

He then drove us to the beach where there was street food. They barbecued all kinds of food from fish balls to cuttlefish and they tasted yummy.

Finally we got back to the hotel to shower and went casino hopping. The night only ended at 5am!!! Tomorrow is another day!!!

Here's a picture of me and the dragon from "Train the Dragon" movie at my hotel lobby.
