BLAST FROM THE PAST: Macau & Hong Kong Trip

It's been 3 years since I graduated from College.

I'm a Broadcast Communication graduate from Polytechnic University of the Philippines and yes peeps (with that long-maroon-with-round-bronze-thingy around my neck), I graduated with flying colors. They say that in surviving through the College jungle as a Cum Laude, one must be matalino or masipag or both. As for me, I think I'm just masipag. (hahaha!) Anyway, that is not exactly what this post is about. It was just the reason behind my Macau and Hong Kong Trip, an all-expense-paid vacation with my big sissy, Ate Rollaine, as her pre-graduation gift for me.

The trip was so last November 2008. I know. But I just want to share my memories in these 2 special administrative regions of China.

MACAU  

As the "Montecarlo of the Orient" and "Las Vegas of the East", its economy relies on gambling...but there's more to Macau than its casinos and I can attest to that. Here are some of the tourist spots that we've been to and you should go to if you're planning to visit Macau in the near future.

RUINS OF ST. PAUL'S
It was my first time to meet my Ate's office mate, Ate Ana and her friends but look at us, it was like we've known each other for ages.

SENADO SQUARE

Queuing at the Money Changer??
FYI: The currency in Macau is Pataca

THE VENETIAN
A Hotel-Casino resort with an Oooooh-Mmmmy-Gooooosh-Architecture

FISHERMAN'S WHARF
It's the first theme park in Macau and the best part is....Admission is F-R-E-E. :)

HONG KONG

Look closely. See? I have a bank in Hong Kong. Ha! :)

Hong Kong is just a 1-hour-TurboJET-ride from Macau. We were there for a day (or even less) and we spent it in.....(drum roll pleeeeease).....DISNEY LAND!

When I saw the Disney Train, I was so excited that my whole body was trembling. SERIOUSLY!!
(Shaky Hands + I hid them in my pockets = Jologs Pose hahaha)

At that moment, I felt like I was the happiest kid in the happiest place on earth. 

"A whole new world. A dazzling place I never knew. But when I'm way up here. It's crystal clear. That now I'm in a whole new world with you."
LSS FOR A MONTH

We weren't able to explore Hong Kong so I promise myself that I'll be back....with a vengeance. :)


Thanks for visiting my site. I'd love to hear from you.
