June 21, 2011. We almost missed the ferry boat for Macau but fate did not allow that to happen as more adventure is waiting for us in this wonderful place. We arrived in Macau noontime.
Macau trip was not part of the plan. I just grabbed the opportunity to visit Macau because of the nice feedbacks I have heard from friends and people around. I have no idea on what to do and where to go in Macau.
As usual, I just relied on my very dependable guide - My God. I just prayed, "Lord God, please guide us and be with us throughout this trip. I have zero idea and don't know where to start. Keep us safe and away from any danger and harm. In Jesus name, Amen." As usual, God never failed me.
First and foremost, I don't know how to speak chinese, mandarin nor any of their language, I just know how to speak the universal langauge, English. Hmmm, I know how to read street signs and if worse comes to worst, I can use my all time universal language - the sign langauge with matching body language. It's more effective than talking ;-).
Onboard the ferry boat bound for Taipa, Macau ferry terminal. Travel time was about an hour and half.
After the Macau immigration officer stamped our passports, we're ready to invade Macau. Armed with a map we got from the terminal that was not quite of use, let's get around and see Macau.
Mini Las Vegas of Macau with hotels and casinos.
Macau or Macao is one of the Special Administrative Regions of China was a Portuguese colony. Thus, you can see signages and directions written in Portuguese.
This is the trishaw. This is the modern type of rickshaw in the early times. This used to be the mode of public transportation in Macau. But now it is only for sightseeing purposes.
When we're hungry and not sure of what restaurant to get into, we just have to find McDonalds. It's everywhere.
See you in part 2 of Macau Escapade.
