spent a weekend over that region with my family and i must say that Macau is simply a Gambler's Heaven the way BKK is a shopper's heaven. There are SO MANY CASINOS that even the lower class hotel we went to had a mini Casino! haha.. Itinerary was planned by my mum and sis, so we had to visit some places like black sand beach on our last day.. which turned out pretty much like black soil to me. haha. oh wells. To sum up Macau, it's a place that is to my knowledge divided into 4 main regions where the middle 2 are mainly for tourist while the further 2 would be for residents and all 4 are lined up in a row. hmm.. haha tats my point of view. haha i could be wrong.
So we spent majority of our awake time at HK then Zhu Hai and lastly Macau which was kinda ironical. Macau = Casinos and Casinos doesn't really appeal to my family females. so we were mostly out of Macau. lol we crossed the macau borders more than we ever did singapore.. all in a short span of 3 days.. =.=|||
HK trip was insightful. I went there thinking that we could do some serious shopping, bt turns out that all we saw were all the big brand concept outlets.. and we wanted to watch IP man over there and turns out to be even more expensive than SG.. oh wells. bt it was surprisingly clean. i mean i luv the breeze there and temp was really cooling.. 25 Degrees Celsius. Rmbering that b4 heading for the trip, i was over at Orchard... we were dodging the open air spots cuz the heat was so tremendous that i would melt like an ice cream (exaggerating here. bt u do get wad i mean.) We took the electric tram over at HK and the MTR (mrt in hk) and i srsly like the tram.. u really get to feel the cool breeze and get to see lots of interesting stuffs like HK policemen that u would see in HK series and the firefighters + ambulance.

Went to Zhu Hai twice on seperate days. First day we went there, we just scooted round the area.. no idea why we didn't even spend our RMB. The only thing we got other than food was a signature done by a roadside "stall". 1 RMB for 1 type of signature done. Process is that customers would pass to him (roadside artist) his/her name in eng/chin/both and the artist would sign it out. 1 sheet of paper would hold 6 signatures so my sis and i paid him 12 rmb (tats like.... divided by 20??? some 60 cents??) and he taught us how to sign 2 of the signatures we each chose. pretty cool eh? for 60 cents.. lol. looks pretty neat. Bt he srsly can't sign english names haha. Second day we went there and we started scampering for stuffs (cuz its the last day), i bought a pair of slippers (reason is damn stupid... i was going to hw's to watch soccer and realised tat my freaking $15 slipper kanna stolen.. wth rite?????). My dad bought a badminton racket + slippers. My Mum and sis bought clothes + slippers.!!! realised that everyone bought slippers?? and its cuz of me! and if u were to really draw a line.. its cuz of tat dumbass thief that stole my freaking cheapo slippers!
