On the 4th day, we headed over to Macau; the famous casino-infested city:p
There are 3 ways to get to Macau from Hong Kong; by air, by land or by sea (like Duh!)
You can choose to fly to Macau, take a bus or like me, go for the most common method picked by everyone - board the TurboJet and get yourself there.
Okay, not so good idea; the sea was rough and the hour and a half journey almost emptied my stomach.
I was nauseous but I didn't throw up; almost did though when I heard all those sick and throwing up sounds (UGH!)
Save the description:(
I was definitely glad and relieved to land after the journey!
The streets somehow reminded me of Taiwan:)
They still have those scooters with loud hooters!
One of the casinos I spotted while I was on the bus to the Central Square (I think that's the name)
Even Yaohan still exists here!!
(I start to sound like a snobbish chic!:P)
The bus was comfortable; well air-conditioned:)
Arriving at the town centre
It was really hot (although it was cold and rainy in Hong Kong), and I had to protect myself with an umbrella while posing at the town square:p
Nice street cavern
The narrow streets with the conventional shophouses
Hawker food stalls
One of the famous temples in Macau (described on the map)
This is an ancient temple popular among the local folks.
It was actually the first of the Chinese Lunar month when i was there; and joss sticks were lighted up for worship.
In fact, the temple caretakers ushered us to make our worship too; and urged us to donate to the temple's funds.
Well, we felt a little awkward but obliged as a form of respect, to the deities; not to the caretakers whom we felt were a little pushy and taking advantage of the situation.
To be continued with the churches' visit...
