9th April 2010

Got my immigration pass and passport ready.

was stuck in the line to pass the immigration check point for almost 1 and a half hour.

It’s so easy to go Macau from Zhu Hai. Like I mentioned in previous post in Zhu Hai all we need is to go over to GongBei port and walk to the immigration thats it. Don’t need to involve any transportation at all just your two feet.

After came out from here

Hello MACAUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Met up with our tour guide Miss Chong.

And start receiving all the messages like this.

Macau is a sin-city I guess. Too much casino here.

Everything in Macau look so Portuguese. This is called Portas do Cerco.

Saw an Esprit Outlet. There are alot in Hong Kong and I always thought Esprit in Hong Kong will be much cheaper than here but it prove me so wrong. It just the same like what we can get here. Deyammmm…..

How does the bus in Macau look like.

Their school uniform

and I guess this is the primary school uniform??? or different school got different uniform there?? I don’t know

Normally people go Macau they will certainly visit the St. Paul’s church and I don’t know why.

Spotted a boutique name Fatima and it reminds me of Farhana haha

In Macau they drive Toyota Corolla as taxi

Even the road sign board also in a very Portuguese style

Here we go

This is how the back of  The Ruins of St Paul’s Church look like

The Front.

Family’s shot.

went into the Crypt

Alot of Jesus statues in there

Paintings hanging on the wall

The Ruins of St. Paul’s (大三巴牌坊) refer to the façade of what was originally the Cathedral of St. Paul, a 17th century Portuguese cathedral in Macau dedicated to Saint Paul the Apostle. Today, the ruins are one of Macau’s most famous landmarks. In 2005, the Ruins of St. Paul were officially enlisted as part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Centre of Macau.

Timeline

Cute doggie

and there’s a dog fight.

And beside the church it was a Na Tcha Temple 大三巴哪吒廟 is a Buddhist and Taoist temple in Macau dedicated to the worship of the deity Na Tcha.

The temple became one of the designated sites of the Historic Centre of Macau enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

and the Old Macau City Walls was made out of  clay, sand, rice straw, rocks and oyster shells. The city wall sections are now part of the Historic Centre of Macau UNESCO World Heritage Site also.

Friendly guide.

This are a few houses in Macau

a small road side stall selling books and newspaper like we always saw it in the movies.

Aha! Caltex in Macau

Golden Dragon Casino

Hotel Golden Dragon

It’s a buffet lunch this time Woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Fuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yay!!!! Buffet.

1st round

2nd round

Actually I start to felt full but I still go for 3rd round. Yada yada yada I know I am greedy indeed SUper greedy

but you know the food in Villa Picasso *mmmmmmuaaaahhh* Delicious! or maybe just because for the past few days all the food I ate are always the same? Probably.

I realize in Macau they used to parked their bikes under the flyover and in Macau there’s alor of motorcyclist as well

we stopped at a Souvenirs shop to get our souvenirs bought and bring back home fresh.

Orient Arch 东方拱门

The Statue of Guan Yin, a blend between the traditional images of the goddess Guan Yin and Holy Mary. This Guan Yin statue looks sad and what according to my father was because Guan Yin feel sad to see all those people who came over to Macau just because they are all gamblers 赌鬼 hahahaha lameeeee joke.

The buildings in Macau all very Portuguese-ish nd the road are all quite steep.

Here we reached A-Ma Temple 妈阁庙 one of the oldest and most famous temples in Macau. The name Macau is thought to be derived from the name of the temple. It is said that when the Portuguese sailors landed at the coast just outside the temple and asked the name of the place, the natives replied “媽閣”. The Portuguese then named the peninsula Macao.

And I tend to like taking pictures with ROCK hahahaha WTF!

The blessings.

I like how the buildings structure in Macau look like

even a lamp pose also look nice to me. So vintage.

The famous Koi Kei shop.
