A Night At The Venetian Macau

The Venetian Macao – one of my few 5 star hotel experiences

-->

We arrived at the West Lobby of The Venetian at 6-ish PM. The lobby was quite crowded. It was Saturday night in the Chinese New Year holiday season, no wonder.

We came to the high end palace as our usual semi-backpacker selves, still wishing we had warmer coats and probably long-johns on. The lobby was warm enough, but cool breeze would blow in to the room each time people went in and out of the entrance.

The receptionist spoke English fluidly with rather hard to understand accent, so several times we had to ask him to repeat what he was saying.

2 Girls With Bad Sense of Direction Were Getting Around Macau. Imagine The Chaos :P

-->The ruins of St. Paul’s Church

At the back of the St. Paul Church ruins, there’s a wide space where the church used to be.

--> And at the far back there’s a gallery that shows religious statues and symbols of Catholic. We took a look at the collection, which were amazing works of art. Don't worry, there's no entrance fee. Anyone can go in, as long as you don't bring food nor beverages passing the church's wall.

The Start of Our 12-Day Trip!

Woohoow.., another long trip I’ve accomplished. 12 days of going abroad, 4 countries and 5 cities. From Jakarta to Macau to Hong Kong to Guangzhou to Shenzhen to Bangkok and back to Jakarta. Only the two of us, Renny and I.

Usually I blog about my trips as a whole trip, but after failing to do so for my Vietnam-Cambodia trip, I realized that it’s almost impossible nowadays, so I’m writing it in parts. Here it goes.

HONGKONG, the fragrant harbour

This story is dated back to JAN 29 – FEB 2, 2006

5 days and 4 nights touring the city of HONGKONG had enough freshened me up and thrown away my stress from work and daily life 5 days full of getting off and on the tour bus, walking here and there, windowshopping, posing for pictures with any kind of background, tasting various kinds of Chinese food without pork, and calculating the conversion between Rupiah and HK$ using my cell’s calculator.
