Hey guys! I'm back from Macau, its really an awesome trip! Pictures will be uploaded on my next post cause i do not have the camara usb with me. For the mean time, let's talk about the trip :D
DAY 1 It was fine, everything went smoothly except that we were stuck at the Macau Airport for half an hour, waiting for the teachers to solve a money problem.They had to show the officers 5k Patacas before the 2 napal boys can go through. No one complained cause we were all busy talking or taking pictures. After solving the problem Denise our tour organiser brought us to a restaurant to have a dinner, during the journey he talked about the casino's and the food in Macau. The way he speaks english is really funny! But i held my laughter till we got down the bus. HAHA! When we were in the restaurant, the floor and tables were so sticky and dirty. But the food is not bad except for the beef MAGGIE noodles! The wanton mee is fantastic! After dinner went to 7-11 to buy some drinks and snacks, bought gums and cards for that night :D Went to check out our hostel, it looks fine except for the super hard bed that we will be sleeping on for 3nights! Put down our bags and started checking out the channels on tv, almost every channel is in cantonese or chinese. BUT! when i tune further up, SOCCER! everyone came together and began waching soccer, its really fun watching soccer with my roomates. Yoban is really a great entertainer, super joker!
DAY 2 Woke up early in the morning and went down to the alley to buy some breakfast. Woa! the wanton mee this time is super bad, taste like stale noodles. Lousy! Went to a more modern part of Macau to take a look at the oldest church in Macau, called the St Paul. After that went for a talk at MMC, Prof Ray is the speaker. Almost everyone doze off and i was struggling to keep myself awake. After an hour its finally over! Forgotten what's after this, but i rmb i slept like a log that night.
DAY 3 Woke up around 7, and went down to a restaurant to have our breakfast. Awesome breakfast, 2 eggs, 1 crispy toast, and 2 'bacon'(its actually ham) w/ ice horlick. After filling up our stomachs with smth nice, we went back to the colleage to have another 2 talks!-.- This time the speakers are Prof Fok and Dr Fok. This time i paid attention and learnt quite a bit about the Casinos in Macau. Finally, we went for our buffet lunch at the top of the Macau Tower, and it is a 360 degrees restaurant. It keeps on turning(slowly of corse)so we could get a view of the whole of Macau. The Food is the best! While we were eating we saw a man bungee jump from the top of the tower. Its dam freaking cool, jumping off a 61 story high tower. After dinner went back to hostel to pack our laggage for the trip to ZhuHai, China.
Day 4 Woke up super early, i tink its 630! Went to another restaurant to have our breakfast, that was the best breakfast i ever had in my life. Dim Sum style breakfast, yummy! After breakfast took a coach to China, went to check out the opium musuem and tiger door "hu man", and finally checked in to a hotel with SOFT bed. After putting down our bags went to the underground shopping centre to check out what cheap stuff they sell, so we could decide what to buy on the next day. The people there were not very friendly and wanting to force us to buy their products. Went back to hotel and playing cards with a few friends and watched a really funny game show. "LET'S GO!" the people kept on falling into the water, they really made us laugh especially the old uncle wearing sunglasses. Had a good sleep.
DAY 5 Shopping! immediately after our breakfast, we checked out and went to the underground shopping centre and shopped for 3 hours. :D Now i understand why girls love shopping. i bought quite a number of stuff, all black converse shoe for 11SGD,5 cute keychains 2SGD, 1 Lolipop live dvd for a friend 3SGD, 2 beautiful glass necklace 12SGD and more gums. We bargained like aunties, srsly! All this stuff are fake and pirated, but i got through the custom without any trouble. After shopping took a bus back to Macau airport, flew back to Singapore and here i am! (:
Really enjoyed the trip, will go back there when i'm 18 ;D Try my luck and win big money!
