Ok, so i know i just blogged like a few minutes ago...but hey, i stumbled upon the pictures i took on my recent trip to HK/Macau. =D
So here goes! Pictures!!!!
*
The interior of the Cattle Class in Tigerair. =D The seats hough comfortable, are only as comfortable as the legroom they provide....which honestly, isnt' alot. Well, but hey, its just a 3 hours flight, surely it won't hurt to sit still for a little while right?
WRONG! When you have a big group of PRCs playing and gambling in the plane, with the noise it makes, you'll be better off taking a sampan and rowing it to Macau. At least its quieter. Hahah =P
My Aunty and uncle at some steamboat restaurant in Macau. In Singapore, our habit is to have a plain soup base then add ingredients in. Over there, the ingredients are already in the soup. The soup is very rich in flavour and thick with fats. Very unhealthy though!....Lamb stew hotpot is in the smaller pot while the bigger one contains the piglet hotpot....
The longest bridge i have ever driven or got driven / seen before is this bridge known as the Taipa bridge. It connects the mainland portion of Macau to the Macanese islands of Taipa and Coloane. There are altogether 3 such bridges of similar lengths in Macau.
It was a chilly and cold 10Degrees at night due to the winter wind comng down from mainland china. It was friggin cold but i chose to wear a Abercomie Fitch shirt my dear bought for me.....yes it was cold, but i was enjoying it! Note the Taipa bridge behind my mum....its so long you don't even see where it ends!
First breakfast consisted of wonderfully good Wanton noodles and "Ju pa boh" or pork chop buns. =D oh and that plate of nondescript fried rice, none of us actually really....touched.....sad...
A view of Downtown Macau, note in th background, the towering struture that looks like a....i don't know what its supposed to look like...but yea...a flower.....thats the Grand Lisboa....one fo the big Casinos in Macau, had its roots in the Casino Lisboa, which is beside it....the first casino in Macau...
At some old Fort......all that remains of this fort/church is the front facade which has since become iconic of Macau, just like the Tour De Eiffel in Paris and the Durians of Singapore.
At the entrance of the Grand Lisboa Casino......its huge......
Entrance of the first Casino in Macau, the Casino Lisboa....owned and operated by Casino magnate, Dr. Stanley Ho (Almost all casnos in Macau apart from MGM Grand and Sands are anyway...)
Woot, Wynn Casino......i liked the structure as it gives it some kind of Vegas feel to it =D
The cattle buses (Ferry\ies victims of greed by the masses!) to The Venetian, the largest building in Asia and second in the world..it is even bigger than the original Venetian in Las Vegas...
Standing in one of the huge hallways leading to the massive casinos....it is so huge that it is beyond compare nor beyond discription...
A stolen snapshot of one of many entrances to the casino proper......a few minutes afer taking this, the Guards chased my camera away and i had to keep it, and get it tagged with a "No Camera" Sign
The Venetian is not just for Gamblers, it is very shopper savvy to....the famous Grand Canal Shoppes was beautiful recreated here in the Macau Venetian.....there are a total of 4 spannign canals, each with its own walkways and rivers with the singing coxswains on them....they can really sign and when they do, their voices fill the surroundings. =D
Some of the signing coxswains =D
Huat AH!
My cousin and her kiddos
I'm kinda tired to actually comment on all of them as i believe they are self-explanatory.....hahah
Alrighty...leave with a last funny photo...
Taken at the Hotel Lobby......lol!
Blogging is a tiring business! =D
