Macau in Pictures

Last Thursday, the boys and I went down to Macau for the National Day break!

As usual, everyone was late. AHEM*jartan*AHEM.

We headed to the Macau Ferry Terminal at Sheung Wan and purchased our return tickets back (HK$145 + HK$170 there and back respectively) where we proceeded to miss the earlier ferry we got put on.

Act cute lorh sommmmeeboooddyyy.

All of us fell asleep on the hour long ferry ride with some of us nursing sore necks from whiplash. The damned thing was seriously rocky. Fun shit.

YAY MACAU.

We finally got there and were prompty accosted by some tour guy who was trying to convince us to rent a car, but we chose not to because we're poor underpaid interns. So taxi it was!

Besides the ferry, many people choose to fly to Macau by helicopter from HK for only HKD$1500 for a 15 minute ride.

The first thing one would notice about the place is that it's SERIOUSLY MAJORLY CONFUSED. One minute you're looking at built up hotels with crazy neon lighs, the next you're driving pass a squater. We were confused and lost most of the time really. hurhur.

The taxi dropped us off at Senado Square, a major tourist attraction and we decided to walk from there.

Love the cobbled stone flooring!

JarTan needed Starbucks and I was so amused by the croissant. It looked like a lump of pastry with holes at the side. Why isn't it boomerang shaped?

Gorgeous european inspired buildings

St Dominic's Church, I think. (help JT and HZ)












Justaposition of old and new, European and Asian!





Zomg. HOLY SHIT. Best shaved ice ever.

As HZ mentioned on his fb photo album, everyone was hawking their bakkwa and cookies and bloody hell the bakkwa sheets were hella massive!

St Paul's Ruins








Mount Fortress (or so Jarrel thinks)















Comeos Gardens (I think)

Anyway, we got hopelessly lost alot of times along the way and it was absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to find the main road. After walking to almost the other end of Macau we managed to hail and cab and went down to the Venetian! HZ the lucky bugger won $200+ and Jarrel lost $50 HAHA. he was not happy. We had dinner at 3 monkeys before heading back to the terminal for my 8.30 ride back to HK.

The Gondola guy was serenading the lady lorh!
