The True Macau & Ivan Kow In Hong Kong
How big exactly is Macau? Well, Hong Kong is 40 times bigger than Macau. Can you believe it? Hong Kong is already small but Macau, 40 times smaller than that! I had a half day tour in Macau. It was enough to visit the whole of Macau.
I guess everyone who goes to Macau visits the same place. A Chinese temple, the church that was left by the Portuguese and famous casinos such as The Venetian and Sands. Not to forget Portuguese Tarts. They are great to try.
Before arriving at Macau, I thought Macau was a messy country because of that bad impression given by some movies which depicts Macau as a country fit only for gambling. However, once I reached the Macau Harbour, I took back my thoughts (The port is much more better than Port Klang). Besides that, the structure of the buildings were very special and all of it were casinos. (Macau has more than 30 casino)
The feeling that Macau gives is something like Malacca. Maybe because both of them were under the Portuguese control sometime in the past. There was a road by the name of “Road of Malaca”.

Macau Chinese Temple - this temple have few hundred years of history
See the camera man with a reporter? They made a small survey about China on me but I do not know whether I will be in the China news. Hehe
After visiting Macau, I went back to Hong Kong for a night. I met up with Ivan Kow, my secondary school classmate. He has been in Hong Kong for around 2 months to continue his studies. He is healthy there. We explored the local food in Mongkok and alsoTsin Sha Tsui to have a nice view of Central. Then, we took the cheapest transport in Hong Kong - the ferry to travel from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central which only costs 2.20HKD.

Testing the Smelly Tau Fu and Curry Fishball - both are nice but the Curry Fishball was a bit too spicy for me

The Mongkok Singer With His Dog - the dog knows how to follow the beat and shake its head, man
It was nice to meet a good friend especially when we are so far away from our home land. Take care Ivan. Release stress in toilet:)
Coming up next, Shen Zhen, China.
