My Holiday Pictures - Macau

[Adrian Wong]

Picture 28 - Side corridor next to the chapel, going out to Senado Square.

Picture 29 - Oval window out the first floor.

Picture 30 - Out a window on the first floor.

Picture 31 - One of the church bells.

Picture 32 - Ladder leading out a trapdoor. Didn't try it though. They had cameras.

Picture 29 makes me think: Bag End! Hobbits!

[hyper_raider]

Macau looks really nice...

[Max_87]

Nice pics boss!

[Adrian Wong]

LOL! I should have practiced a LOT more before I left for the trip but I was just so busy.

Regret it, of course.. but oh well, it's too late.

Let's continue!

Picture 34 - Side entrance to the church. I think this shot would be a lot better if Jenny stood a lot closer...

Picture 35 - After that, we got pretty hungry. Headed to a nearby eatery and had this Curry Beef Rice. Basically, it's just curry beef with onions poured over a substantial amount of rice, that's it. Nothing special, except the price. It cost MOP 23 (RM 10.95, USD 2.88)

Picture 36 - This plate of dry beef noodles with wan ton cost MOP 23 as well. Man, such food, it's ridiculously expensive. The wan ton is very good though.

Picture 37 - Next, we headed a little further away from Senado Square to St. Augustine's Plaza. Here is where the St. Augustine Church is located. As it happened, there was a wedding going on at that time. But when people started poking their heads in to peek, they closed the doors. What, can't we celebrate with them?

Picture 38 - Took the opportunity to take this shot of a girl standing by the doorway of the building directly opposite the church.

[Adrian Wong]

Picture 39 - Nearby the girl in the doorway is this group of students. I assume they were discussing something educational.

Picture 40 - The plaza opposite the church. The fountain was not working though.

Picture 41 - Here's a shot from the plaza. The small road for vehicles is paved. Quite a nice place.

Picture 42 - It was getting late, so we decided to head for the Ruins of St. Paul's Church before it got dark. On the way, we saw this stall, selling what I presume is the Macanese version of take-away steamboat, dip-dip or lok-lok as we call them here.

Picture 43 - You choose what you want. She throws them into boiling water. And when they are cooked, she takes them out and put them in a styrofoam bowl. Then she pours a kind of curry into it. The curry's hot but rather tasteless.

The wanton mee looks nice....

[mahakanjus]

glad to read that you enjoyed your holiday! im "planning" more like contemplating going to Bali...

[Adrian Wong]

Hehe.. Yeah, the wan tons are really nice. Full of prawns!

If you do go, mahakanjus, make sure you take loads of pics!

Okay, let's continue with some more pics.

Picture 44 - A better shot of the Macanese steamboat.

Picture 45 - A street vendor on the same street.

Picture 46 - Later, we saw a Starbucks outlet in Senado Square! Finally! Unfortunately, this is the biggest size they had - Grande. And it cost me MOP 30 (RM 14.29, USD 3.76).

Worse, Starbucks in Macau do not have any WiFi access. When I asked them about Internet there, they looked at me as if they have never heard of it.

Picture 47 - Okay, 5-10 minutes away from Senado Square is the famous ruins of St. Paul's Church. It burned down, leaving only the front facade.

Picture 48 - A closer shot. The buildings on both sides do detract from the picture, I'll admit. But I think I have better photos of it coming up.
