This is the 2nd time I went to Macau. The 1st time was in 2004. Macau has got 2 islands: Macau & Taipa. Macau is where all the big casinos & places of interest are. Taipa is where the airport is located. I stayed at Pousada Infrante Marina hotel located in Taipa. The newly opened The Venetian is also located in Taipa and its pretty near the hotel I stayed. I visited The Venetian after checking in to the hotel. The Venetian is a 5-star hotel with the largest casino of 800 tables & 6000 jackpot machines. It also has a shopping arcade consisting of 350 shops. I nearly lost my way in the casino cause its really very big.
Macau is a pretty boring place except for the numerous big casinos. They have Sands, Wynn, Lisboa & The Venetian. Its more of a place for gambling than sightseeing. I didn't really gambled but my dad did and he invested about S$1000 at the casinos. Well I rather spend the money shopping or travelling. Macau is famous for nice food such as Pork Cutlet Bun & Portuguese egg tarts. You must definitely try the Pork Cutlet Bun at Rua Do Cunha in Taipa. They only start selling at 3pm and the queue is already long by 2.45pm. There was even a Japanese TV crew filming the shop when I was there. I must say that the bun is very yummy.
Besides hanging around in Macau, I also went for a 1 day trip in Hong Kong. The journey is about 1hr ferry ride. Managed to grab 2 pairs of Converse shoes + some clothes. Haiz, burn another hole in my pocket again. Need to pay off my bills and start saving for my next trip.
