Macau


Self-taken photo of us while waiting for the ferry.



Kelvin, Shawn and I went over to Macau for 2 days, 1 night. Macau is a really beautiful place, with an interesting blend of historical buildings alongside flashy casinos.



Boatride leaving Macau, note that long white bridge.







I love the Portugese style buildings along the streets, it has a nice European feel to it.




















This bookshop sells books written/translated in the Portuguese language.






Three of us in front of the ruins of St Paul's.
















A close up.































The streets are completely empty at night as everyone flocks to the casinos. Very very extravagant places, these are.

















The next morning, we went over to the Black-Sand Beach. As its name suggests, the sand on the shore is black, which makes it rather unique.




































I find the mishmash of languages rather interesting. Every signboard in Macau is written in Chinese (traditional) and Portuguese while people usually communicate in Cantonese.

Yay, Jesus!
