Reached Macau at 1:30pm, the flight was 3½ hours... The first hour of the flight was interesting, its my the first time on the plane after so long... When we took off, the sun has already risen, so we could see everything outside clearly... The sight was great, not magnificent but just great...
Touched down and Weida's sister, Yiming, was waiting for us already together with her boyfriend (they arrived one day before us on an earlier flight); Weida's girlfriend, Rita, was there as well... They were laughing when we stepped through the sliding dooes and I was wondering if we had done something wrong... Weida's hair was jutting straight out, much like Suneo (阿福) from Doraemon, too bad they didn't take a picture...
The rest of the the day we went around looking at Macau's tourist attractions as well as trying the famous Portuguese eggtarts... It was nice and crispy but I didn't really try to find out why it was so famous, was still trying to get used to the new environment...
In the evening, Rita's father treated us to a very sumptuous dinner in an old chinese restaurant... The first dish was shark's fin double-boiled with chicken, the claypot was so huge you can fit a basketball in it!!! We each had several servings of the shark's fin and was quite full before any other dish was served...
After dinner was a trip to the nearby shopping district, the buildings and roads were rebuilt, maintaining the Portuguese style...
At the end of this street was the ruins of St. Paul... Since it was night time, we couldn't go exploring in it; but isn't it more exciting to explore it at night?
We went to the Sand's casino next... The live band there was great, their energy level was very high, not something you see often in Singapore bands... I just went around touring the place while Weida tried his luck... We left the place at around 1am; Weida left with an extra HK$1000 (S$200) in his pocket...
Went back to Rita's aunt's apartment to watch the World Cup Finals, everyone was tired and dozed off in the middle of the match...The television stopped working a few minutes after half time and we just went to sleep, was too tired to complain or carry on watching...
PS: The pictures will be added when I reach Singapore...
