so yeah i'm back from Macau/HK! to be honest, i didn't really want to go overseas, i mean, lookit at our homework! [maya maya maya oh gawt] so it didn't really seem like a very appropriate time to be traipsing off anywhere, you know? 'sides, once i get into the vacation mood, it's tough to get out of it. D8 lucky for me, the trip this time wasn't enough to make me go wild and high or anything. Macau was actually a pretty quaint place, a couple of days were enough to just about catch anything of significance. [..shopping? no no no, HK is good for that. veeeeery good indeed. :B] most of the photos were of Macau, since i've never been there. as for HK, come on everyone knows what HK looks like. if you don't, Google is your best friend.  trekked all over looking for this obscure little beancurd stall, cuz my dad could never get the taste out of his system.  omagwt dog-cement camouflage.  temple up the hill..  a glimpse of the ruins of the St Paul Cathedral, one of Macau's most famous landmarks, from a side alley..  The Grand Lisboa. want to know why it's so grand? click  lobster for you Ange.  my mother went nuts at this shop. the Portugese egg tarts were heavenly here.  the infamous ruins of the St Paul cathedral.. went up the Macau Sky Tower, standing at 338 m tall.  glass floor oh gawt oh gawt D8888  apparently this is the world's highest spot to bungee jump off. and i read that bungee jump was 笨猪跳 in chinese, literally stupid pig jump. i actually burst out laughing when i read it.  no way you'll catch me out there jumping off..  lookit at all the brave souls.. also went to the Maritime Museum for some education on Macau and fishing.  various methods of fishing.. i forgot all their names but they were pretty fascinating..   damn we Chinese were ingenious back then. check out the various primitive boats of the respective countries. which one looks like they'd last the longest at sea?  Japan's raft  Fiji Island's bamboo raft  Indonesia's Pirogue with double outriggers  China's inflated goatskin raft  India's rowing catamaran  Africa's papyrus raft  South America's bark boat  North America's canoe  Europe's dugouts  Macau Sky Tower from the outside  here we are at The Venetian! Macau's 6-star hotel. this place was huuuuuuuge. the third-largest building in the world, as well as the largest casino, according to Wiki.  guess which one we headed for..  the inside of the casino, as seen when going up the escalator  i spy a Haagen Daz..  the indoor canal.. yes they have both an outdoor and an indoor canal, complete with gondola rides.  roadside cafe where we stopped for a bite.  a monstrosity of a pork bun. i hear it's a local eat.  old colonial villas facing the bay..  oh look at the pretty flowers and the house.. anywhere but at the person sitting there. i don't know who that is. nope, not a clue. MOVING ON..  random idiot.  Macau Bay.. unimpressive i know. the weather there was a constant 24/7 haze. D8  spastic.  it tastes better than it looks, really. fish with an assortment of beancurd skin, radishes and other miscelleanous but totally edible ingredients. reminds me of oden.  fish meat wrapped in chili skin.. and totally nonspicy! :D  spring onion buns omnyomnyom  best roast pork ever.  faces in your leftovers. freaky or what.  finally, China comes up with its own fast food! McD has Ronald, guess who China has.  i spy rice! we actually ate here and the food wasn't halfbad. healthier than your regular fast food chain, at least. they had soup!  really .. not bad. :B  rabbits! i am aghast. they're for eating, but but but but THEY ARE RABBITS. D8  Franc Franc. a designer household store in Festival Walk, HK. someday half the furniture in my house [or at least my room] will come from here. :B  And it's goodbye and back to the real world. owell. thanks for stopping by. by the way, JetStar isn't bad for a budget airline. better than Tiger Air in my opinion anyways. hehe. |
the round one.
Just your average human specimen wanting to be something more. Also has an absurd fondness for potatoes and shoes, among other things.
