Fourth Stop - Hong Kong 25th Feb - 1st Mar 2012

To me, Hong Kong means Paradise of shopping. Why? Because they offer so many things with good price! Well, it was hard at first to reach our place of stay. Reached Hong Kong by Ferry from Macau, and then took the MTR to Causeway Bay. Luckily, the building just next to the exit E Causeway Bay station....How good is that???

First Day...Lantau Island which famous for its Big Buddha Statue. At first we were thinking to go there by cable car from Tung Chung Station, but the it was under maintenance so we have went there by bus.



It was so cold when we reached Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. When we bought the tickets to enter the museum inside the Big Buddha, Kevin was offered to borrow the jacket from ticket seller.
Went in to the Museum and saw this the Relic of Buddha Tooth. Had Vegetarian lunch which we enjoyed so much (maybe because we were hungry at that time, LOL)

The next day, we went to Disneyland, place where you become child again when you enter it. Took pictures with Mickey and Minnie. Then spent time playing around and pictures of course.




Stay Tuned for the The Peak, Madame Tussaud and Avenue of Stars

Third Stop - Macau 24th February'12 - 25 February'12



No, we didn't try our luck there and earn a big fortune unfortunately. Reached Macau and got scolded by a taxi driver because of short distance journey (well, i dint know that the distance will be like 5 mins by car)
Check in to Best Western Taipa Hotel, didn't really had a nice and warm welcoming (which i expected before hand)
First stop, The Venetian Hotel, Macau. When you step into the shopping centre, make sure that you hold your jaws (So beautiful and you'll forget what time it is)
Had this popular Portugese egg tart "LORD STOW's"l. When you bite it for the first time, you fell like crying.....because it is so gooooood.. (yeah, I'm serious)
Took some pictures at the bridge where the movie "BBF" shoot took place. Guess what? it's not only one bridge, soooo many, so i have to take all of the bridge picture.

In the morning went to the Senado Square by bus (WARNING!! if you going to pay the bus with cash, make sure you have some change, because they don't give change if you pay with paper money)
Finally arrived at Senado Square, took pictures of some churches (yes, churches...there are a lot of church in this area because it was colonised by the Portuguese)

Found the way to the famous "St. Paulo Ruins" and had this famous breakfast by the local "Pork Chop Bun" (crispy bread outside and tender pork chop inside.....yummy)

Lost and hungry, we decided to go where ever to have lunch. Ended up at this Portuguese restaurant which run by Macaunese. I had a beautiful omelet with chorizo. and Kevin had beef stew with potato.

Decided to leave Macau early and reach Hong Kong earlier than what we plan.

GB,
