The Venetian

After about 3km of walking, we finally reached our destination...It was a hotel,resort and casino all in one...The outlook was great but the interior was excellent...After walking further into Venetian, we saw a open air casino which I think was filled with gambler...The second level was better, shopping arcade for all, all branded stuff which was cheaper than what you can find it Singapore.That aside, the food in food court was more expensive then our food court.After 2 hours of shopping,we had to leave...cause all the shops were close.

Interior design

While we were back tracking all the way back to our hotel, we found ourself lost in the middle of Macau street.Luckly, a local couple who was dating offered and lead us back to our hotel...I was thinking what was a young couple walking the street in the middle of the night and how can they dun mind having three light blub behind them...

one day trip to macau

This day finally came...I happily left my house around 12pm to make my way to Spencer's house only to find he had just wake up...After some time we took a cab to the budget terminal...It was my first time to travel oversea without my parents... and it was also the first time which I took budget airline...Budget Terminal mean a lot... there is only 1 restaurant and 1 ATM around... The whole decoration was so simple...You could see couple of workers sleeping at corners of the building...That woman who did our check in was putting on a back face which made me think was this the service standard of budget terminal ? but worst was to come... Our flight was suppose to be 1415 but due to some technical problem the plane was having...it was delay until 1515 before we flew off... If those aircrew found out that the plane was having some problem, why did they ask us to proceed to the gate in the first place??? Another sub standard service by budget terminal...

plane which cost our 1hr delay

It was around 7 plus when we reach Macau International Airport...The weather was cooling ... around 17 to 20 degree...The hotel which we were staying overnight was at New Century Hotel...a 15min travelling time which cost around 80 pataca (Mop) which is about 15SDG. The whole hotel was design with Greek mythology... which of course include Zeus...it was really nice...but again the service at the reception was sub standard... they took us as some tourist from China....

Zeus and his gang

Our room design was quite simple but big enough for 3 adults to fit in. Out of the window was a fantastic view of Macau University and the Sau Van bridge...After setting down..we prepare for our first shopping destination...The Venetian
