Macau

I went to Macau. A very nice and relaxing little port. Take a look of the pics I have taken!

Any differences?

These are the tallest buildings in Macau (left) and Hong Kong (right). Can you spot the differences?

A very nice restaurant

'Little flying elephant' is a very nice Portuguese restaurant in Taipa. I have been there twice. Can you see the desserts on the right? Look very attractive!

A bit horrible isn't it?

It's a quail. Stuffed with garlic in portuguese style. My friend INSISTED I must try it. Taste nice but look abit horrible......

Yum Yum!

We enjoyed the feast! Yum yum!

We are coming, Money!

Then we headed to the latest casino, Sands. Very grand front doors. Sands can really take care of all customers' needs. If you like gambling, you can go to different sets! If you like gambling without smoke, you can go to a particular room; If you like slot machines, there're different slot machines around the entire casino; If you hate gambling, you can enjoy the so called 'Las Vagas' style buffet. Everyone is happy (if you win)!

Sands toilet

Very luxurious isn't it? But nothing close to hotel style.

Risk my life

I risked my life when I took this pic in the Sands Casino! The yellow guys are all security guards and they looked at me when I was taking the pic...... Don't wanna be slapped or killed so put it away immediately!

Wonderful high tea at a reasonable price!

We then went to Sao Diego for high tea. Nice food and reasonable price for two. $95 dollars for the food shown and a cup of coffee. We enjoyed the nice view and a very nice chat. Very relaxing and very colonial feeling. Worth a try. Besides, it's quite close to the new landmark of Macau- Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre. I guess a nice walk of 20 minutes after the high tea will be a good choice too.

Miss Secret in Sao Diego!

After the wonderful and relaxing hightea, we went for a walk around the fortress. I really like the cap!

I just love the redbean cake!

Local delicacy, redbean cake. When I went there 5 years ago, an old lady sold the cakes. Now it was sold by a couple, I guess they're her son and daughter in law.
Very delicious but very fatty too because it is deep-fried. I drank herbal tea in advance so that it won't be heaty!

Isn't it wonderful?

Does it look like a place in Europe? It is next to the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro. It is the tourist areas with shops at the ground floor. A little walk in the plaza is nice for free walkers like me!
There's a church there. We were so lucky for there's a mass and experience the exotic mass for it was conducted in Portuguese.

Beautiful Portuguese alley

Isn't it beautiful? This is the little alley between the buildings in Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, which is San Ma Lo. Very exotic isn't it?

Desserts

They were famous Macau's desserts, steamed egg and steamed milk. Now you can try them everywhere in Hong Kong. Don't think that they are easy to make. Well I should say they are easy to make but it is difficult to make delicious ones. Well, some money has to be spent while some weights have to be gained......

Eurotrip

My parents went to easter church with my aunt. My sister went dating. So I am all alone by myself tonight.
I am not alone actually as I watched a DVD tonight. This is a funny crazy American Pie style movie. A good laugh. The rock music is so nice that I danced a bit at home. Shake my butt butt a bit :P
A great step of getting used to living by myself.

Happy birthday

These are the presents I received from my students. I was surprised too! All together 25 pieces.

Work it out

Dear my friend,
I have faith in you. I believe that you can settle the issue.
