Macau January 2010

Went to Macau some time back.

Checked in the hotel upon reaching there. I was still not well at that point of time. Coughing my lungs out.
The weather was chilly when i reach there. Bout 15 degrees.

Casino everywhere.. I m so not interested.. The streets were pretty empty..

We walked all the way to Fisherman's Wharf
Some Restaurant @ Fisherman's Wharf

The next morning, we board the bus to St. Paul Ruins. 1 ride cost MOP3.20 if i m not wrong.

The place is crowded with people from mainland. 

I had my breakfast at a small char chan tng there. The ham n egg sandwich is superb!!! Hot n yummy.. 
I was full after the sandwich, but along the way there's so many temptations!!! The bak gwa, the egg tart, pork chop bun, etc etc.. I couldn't resist the egg tart.. n it was yum yum yummy!!!

Climbed up the ruins, see see look look, n went back to the hotel.

Rushed back to the hotel for Shenzhen after that.I m not reli keen on going to Shenzhen but well, the other person wanna go so I did not say anything.

For the first time in my life i experience seasick... I dread for the journey to end...

Ooh yea.. we did try our luck at the casino while waiting for our ferry, and we manage to win our ferry ride to Shenzhen!

The traffic jam at Shenzhen is horrible.. Took the long journey to one of the mrt station, changed to a train n met his brother for dinner.



We never make any hotel reservation for Shenzhen. The brother suggested us to stay the night over at the Spa.. I wasn't keen but i did not say anything. I m a light sleeper. I can't sleep at funny places like a spa.
Well, the spa was big.. I was ushered to take a shower. Then someone offered to give me a scrub. They sent me to the steam room before scrubbing me. After the scrub, they gave me a form to put a tick on the amount for tips.. Sigh.. Cheats!!! well, after scrubbing, i got lost.. Finally i saw him by the lift and he bring me to level 2 and i ordered a drink n rest at the chair n watched some program.. Soon, some lady come bug us for massage, hot stones, lymphatic bla bla bla.. so annoying. tat's y i don't like China.. Sorry to say that.. 

Went to level 3, n ordered a aromatherapy massage.. think we need to do at least 4 hours in order for us to spend the night there(it's very common in Shenzhen). Finished our 2 hours massage n its time to sleep. I did not sleep well the night before coz I was coughing my lungs out. Then, I can't sleep again with the phone ringing outside, people walking around, talking.. bla bla bla.. So my mood was like.. ok.. i m in super super bad mood.. 

The next morning, had our massage done, take shower n its time to leave the place where everyone is out to cheat your money.. My tips came up to a total of RMB120. Damn it... 

Leave the place, did some shopping, my most enjoyable part of the trip!I tried not to be angry but its difficult. 
Spend the night at some motel rather than hotel after walkin round the whole god damn place searching for a hotel.. Night time was pretty boring. had steamboat n almost stuffed myself to death!
The next morning took ferry to Hong kong before going back singapore.. 

Nothing much to shop in Hong Kong as it is winter time. Ate alot though.. 
Took the ferry back to hong kong, Went Venetian, bought some last min souveniers.. n can't wait to board the plane. I was darn tired. N i must say that i did not enjoy the trip at all. I was constantly tired, and stupid people around me make my day even worse!!!
