1st Night in Macau




Whoa! We're here, after an hour of travel. Exhausted since we started our day in the office and left in the afternoon. By 8pm, we're in different country.. all energized upon setting foot in Macau.









We're definitely not time-waster! We just plunked our things in Metropark Hotel (a very low-cost hotel with 5-star service..maybe I'm exagerating, I like their service and the room is nice) and jump start our gala moment--- take note--- on foot.









Overwhelmed with the casinos, resorts and hotels, we could

definitely deprive ourselves with sleep but not with sight-seeing the place in the evening. Night is awesome.
















My sister, a noodle-lover, can't wait to have her first-authentic Chinese noodles.













Triciclos de Macau- used to be the principal means of transport in Macao from the 1950s to the 1970s.


At present, there are only about 70 tricycles in Macau and the patrons are mainly tourists. Sadly, we never had the chance to experience riding triciclo. We have lots of similar pedicabs here in the Philippines though.







The very grand Casino Lisboa behind us.

Senado Square at night. This is the city centre, a very busy place during the day and a peaceful solace at night.
Macau is known for its beautiful sqauers, plazas and gardens all over the city. Buildings around Largo do Leal Senado are so magnificent -- an opportunity we missed since we quit to go farther Casino Lisboa. Good thing Celle's group made it at the square.
