Hong Kong VI: Macau

Day 5 was a day trip to Macau and dessert at Hui Lau Shan.

This morning, saw a cruise ship coming into HK harbor

And this morning, it also rained... again...

From HK Island, we took TurboJet to Macau... it was fast and smooth like a regular plane even though it was on the water

TurboJet had comfy seats

We were able to see lots of islands on the way to Macau

Welcome to Macau

First glimpses of the casinos... what everyone seems to go there for

Not a very clear picture, but can you explain to me what "tampon mode" is?

Preferred method of transportation around Macau (it seems)

Temple of A-Ma in the Inner Harbour

Carving at the temple

Near the top of the temple which is built into the rock

If you didn't know where you were going in Macau, you might have a hard time... it seemed like all the street signs were like this.. posted on the buildings

Lunch at O Porto Interior near the Inner Harbour

Appetizer: basket of fried Macanese snacks

African chicken and minchi, Macanese dishes

Had a lot of trouble getting a taxi, but when we finally did, we went to Senado Square

Cute phone ad

More of Senado Square

Some of the old architecture houses stuff like McDonalds and Starbucks

Haagen-Dazs has ice cream mooncakes

Old European architecture + neon Chinese signs = interesting
