Uwa , I can't believe a week ago I was in Macau @_@ which's so scary but I had a great time there :D
Some pointers that I have noted down when I was in Macau :
- it was my 1st time in Macau . I was expecting the place to be quite run down & etc but it's NOT !
It's like a mini version of Las Vegas with all the casinos & etc . There're 26 casinos in Macau & counting & seriously 1 casino in Macau is enough to kick Genting's ass
casinos like MGM Grand Macau & Sands have something like 5-6 stories worth of just casino alone D:
- the casinos (be it stand alone ones or hotel casinos) in Macau are so rich to the extent that they even have a bus terminal built specially to house all the shuttle buses X___X (including the hotel that I stayed in)
I was shocked when I saw that because wow , I didn't know such a thing exist prior to my arrival in Macau .
Needless to say , transporation wasn't a problem when I was there for the week .
- casinos casinos casinos ! The legal age to enter a casino in Macau's 18 so Hui Li was going yay xD
The stakes were really high when I went to those bigger casinos . Like the minimum bet for a barracat / card game can start at HK$300 & even HK$500 D:
- I also went to Zhu Hai , China . Just like Macau , I find that their milk tea are fantastic & way better than here .
I don't know what secret ingredients were being used D:
- the food Macau served were great ! the portugese egg tarts , milk pudding , pork chop bun were faboo
- the hotel I stayed at , they had room service & you even can order cigarettes there D: . The alcohol they had on the menu , it's quite cheap too
talking about cigarettes , you even can purchase specially made ones from casinos / hotel casinos , can you imagine ? Damn
- I put my Cantonese usage to good use ! er sorta ... since I speak better Cantonese than my original dialetc Hokkien
The Macau people are most comfortable in Cantonese but if that fails , I switch to use Chinese & sometimes English to converse
- I felt that I wasn't in Macau sometimes . I felt more like I was in Europe . Just look at the pics that I took using my camera phone & you know why so .
Some of the architecture structure in hotels that I went to such as The Venetian , damn , how much $ was being spent in the interiors ?! @_@
- Macau is really like a mini Las Vegas . Yup I said it again but at night when the lights & etc are being switched on , it's so pretty :D
- I went to MGM Grand Macau (the same place where ayumi hamasaki shot the pics for her A COMPLETE best album) & there were so many pandas inside the hotel LOL xD
- When I went to the Macau Tower , I saw pics of Ryo Nishikido inside the tower that they took of him when he went early this year (3 days before my 22nd birthday) to bungee jump to get over his fear of the dentist (yeah no link really)
Hui Li & I were going kyaaaa xD xD
- I also videotaped/recorded a clip that's 2 mins + with my camera phone which is a fountain performance which took place outside of the Wiynn hotel .
I got a shock when it started because I wasn't expecting it to start & there were fire blowing out from the water . I was quite far from there but I still have feel the heat @_@
