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!
