++聆听+倾诉++: Macau~1st Day

Family 'Backpack' travel in Macau....

Arrived around 1600, after checking into the hotel and putting our luggage which consists of four backpacks... Here starts the thrilling journey on this '既陌生，又熟悉的国家'....

The moment that you step out of the kastam you will find lots of maps and handbooks about travelling in Macau and its ALL FREE!! You can just grab any that you are interested and start exploring and travelling all by yourself. It even told you which bus to take, where you can stop, how much is it and its quite hard for someone to get lost.. =) Well, Macau was once ruled by Portugese, thus you can see on the sign board or instruction board with portugese and mandarin.

<Emperor Hotel is where we stay and its actually located at the centre of the city.

< This is the room for 4 of us..haha

Two single beds which me and my sister shared one and my parents shared one.. It might sound a bit strange to you but is a quite common thing for us =)

'Photo Mood ON'
Is almost Christmas that time and that explains the beautiful, gorgeous Christmas decoration everywhere.. You can really feel the Christmas atmosphere with all the nicely decorate christmas tree, freezing cold weather, and the jingle bells floating in the air..
Just can't help falling in love with all these things as you know I really like these Christmas stuffs though I don't celebrate it..

Started wandering around after settling down.. Its only 1700-1800 that time and you can see the sky is getting dark like 2100 in Malaysia. It makes me feel like is getting so late and I should have my dinner and tuck myself in the warm and cosy bed.. Especially in this cold weather..

After walking for quite some time, my sister told me: Jie..I feel so sleepy.. I should be in bed now.. I looked on my watch and it shows 2200.. I said.. I feel the same.. But we usually still playing computer games during this time =x

The symbol representing Bank of China (中国银行) which you can see it where ever you are.. I feel that its even more significant than the Macau Tower as its more obvious than the Tower. lol.

< This girl was starring at the old building and started to day dreaming.. LOL

< See this building? Is their post office if I am not mistaken..

At first I thought it was a church or something which does not relate to these kind of office.. After all, post office in Malaysia is too easy to be recognised with the obvious red and blue colour.

MACAU is a world FULL of CASINOs....lol (leave that for later)
The so called 'exploring' is actually to find food for dinner.. There is a place with lots of foods according to my father which his colleague bring him once when he came for job purposes. Walking along the street to try and find out the place.. The streets are all full with neon's light and decorations.

>>They are having some function at the small 'dataran' there.

With the big big Christmas tree at the middle and lots of people surrounding.. I don't know why I started to think of 'Home Alone 2'.. Am so lucky I am not alone lol

<< Santa Casa Da Misericordia (仁慈堂)

< Instituto Para Os Assuntos Civicos E Municipais (民政总署) and it has become my mum's photo background haha

<< Mummy and sister

< Family =)

> The big, fat santa claus with this smiley face.. =)
>> Ignore this.. Wrongly combine lol shows how significant it is =p

> Well, I never know that 'Ba Gua' can have so many different types and tastes until I see this.. =x
They have: Pork Fillet, Fillet of Piglet, BBQ Neck Pork, Thick Boars Fillet, Beef (with a word '极品' beside..), Sesame Pork Fillet and etc...etc...

>> Patio Do Cotovelo (德隆新街)

Christmas decorations inside the Instituto Para Os Assuntos Civicos E Municipais (民政总署)

Saw two hot chicks taking photos while wandering around this place. I thought they were from Korea at first and I was like...Fuyohh so white, so tall, so pretty, so hot...with the skirts and boots they wearing.. lol

After that when they ask me to help taking photo for them only I know that they are local.. Still, pprreeetttaaayyy =)

>> Can see the Macau Tower??

> Lake with some small fountains. I thought the music fountain is here according to the map.. But not sure whether we found the correct place or its just a name without the 'performance'.. So sad.. I like music fountain A LOT!!

Random pictures taken for fun..
And.. Obviously I need to take a picture of myself for every location haha..

A nearer photo of the Macau Tower.. Does it look like our KL Tower? Because, I keep have the feeling that all the towers have similar look. Till here.. The exploration of streets stop.. And trips to CASINO starts!! lol

Entering Casino is like one of the things that you should do when you reach 21st. However, here... They allow 18th and above. Seeing all those casinos there which i can enter legally.. I start getting confused why is everybody making enter casino once you reach 21st a big deal..

Its full with smelly smokes and its noisy and you can feel the 'sin'. LOL

*所谓的赌城啊~ 金钱，烟酒，女人~ 过着这种纸醉金迷的生活~ 想要一步登天的人们，无法自拔地押下所有的财产以至于伴随而来的倾家荡产。这就是赌场与当铺相邻的原因吧？只要身上还拥有一点值钱的东西就代表还有希望。翻本、翻本、再翻本。小赌怡情~ 可是有多少人能在赢的时候及时收手，而不是一睹再赌妄想成为亿万富翁……？

话说，赌城的布置还真不是普通的豪华~ 有那一瞬间，觉得自己是置身于皇宫中。金光灿灿的挂画，镶着金砖的地板，梦幻般的色彩，高贵的装饰。可这些光鲜亮丽的外壳里头，有着另一个能使人堕落的世界，糜烂的生活。反差，有点大……

一间一间的酒店，既是一间一间的赌场。不同的风格，不同的装饰。走马看花般的闲逛也能带来一声一声的惊叹。这就是赌城。
