hongkong trip! :) part II; IN MACAU

Macau photos :) Took a ferry from HK to Macau, then took a free shuttle to our hotel(Casa Real Hotel-the hotel lobby stinks of smoke so if you're a non-smoker-like me-DON'T stay there, stay somewhere else, if you want to spend extra money stay at the Venetian)
On the way to the hotel:
Wahahaha cos of renovations the floor above our room, they upgraded us to a family suite. Bahahaha. It was like 2 rooms with the bathroom in between. I managed to persuade my parents to let me have the king(or queen?)sized bed ALL TO MYSELF! :D Cos my bed has always been single. :(




After checking in, took a bus back to the terminal and took ANOTHER bus to The Venetian. (We took a total of 16 bus rides. To the terminal, to the hotel, to the terminal, to another hotel. ._.)

The really cool touch screen map :D


Some part of the hotel(it was HUGE)



Those type of people who act like a statue, then when people give him money he'll start moving.


At the gift shop:


GONDOLA:




On another bus to somewhere; Macau's Fishermen Wharf:



At Wynn:


Prada ;D


Hermes:



Big brands, you name it, Wynn's got it. :S


Ferrari:


Versace:


Gucci:


Prada(I love the shoes! :D):

Grand Lisboa:


MGM Grand Hotel:



The next day, we went on the city tour, first we went to the A-Ma Temple, where they had this awesome bakery selling baked goods. Guess where we went? All the angmohs went to look at the temple and all that, while me and my dad just went straight to the bakery. :D

Then we went to the St Paul Ruins. Or something along those lines.
(BTW, I know this is a little too late to be telling you this, but some of the pictures have captions, so LOOK CLOSELY! Cos my font is kinda small compared to the size of the photos. :D)





Another temple(?):


Wait. This^ is the temple, i think the one above is the Old City Wall. Or what's left of it.

Which is this:


Then we went to the Musuem of Macau.
Terracotta warrior!


These little people were damn cute:




SEE WHAT I MEAN?!? SO CUTE.


The box in the reflection next to me is a confession box:)


I WAS BORED.






LITTLE PEOPLE! <3

SEE. DAMN CUTE RIGHT. *insert smiley here*




Went to the Fisherman Wharf to eat, I loaded up on fries :D Bowlful of fries. :D


Went to the Macau Tower after that. Ohmygod. It was AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Everything looked tiny!

And they had these glass panels on the floor, so it's like YOU'REGONNAFALLANYTIME. Damn scary lah. My hands were all cold and sweaty. ._.


See what I mean:




(Heh heh you can see the humongous Grand Lisboa in the distance)



See I was forced to walk on the glass panels.

Someone was PREPARING to bungee jump :O But he/she didn't. See the CREW working there. But that person was Too Much Of A Wimp.






Omg the ISLAND looked TINY TEENY WEENY.


Then we went up to the 61st floor(we were at the 58th floor).







At this waterfall/fountain thing after the tour, at night. On our way from Grand Emperor hotel to Grand Lisboa hotel.
GRAND LISBOA(which is the new one):
My mom went to try out their casino for like 30mins and me and my dad just took photos of EVERYTHING in sight -.- alot I didn't upload, cos they were just lame, lol)

Turns out we were right next to:

(ooohhh and MGM Grand too, in the corner -.-)




Stanley Ho, the founder of the first casino(which is the Lisboa chain) or something.
They had these two HUGE diamonds on display, like 200 over carats those kind. INTERNALLY FLAWLESS as well. Flashy much?


This is 218carats, if I remember correctly.



210 carats.


Some really cute statue :D





Heh heh so cute :D



Damn grand.



Bahahah quick shot in the equally chio/shiny/sequinful bathroom, cos someone was coming out, LOL.



After that, the next day, went back to the terminal and went back to HK airport and LANDED IN BKK. :D End of my journey.
Heh heh drew this Stitch while waiting for the ferry. CUTE RIGHT. :D Hand drawn okay, albeit copied from the Disneyland map. BUT STILL. :D
