2nd day in Macau 23rd April 2006


23rd of April morning at 7:00pm, we still in Macau airport. As we felt quite cold, so we waked up and went to see around the airport, do so exploration. Arriving hall have nothing, although we found a money charger which just open when we arrived, now was closed. A near by hotel but I think it will quite expensive. Hotel just outside the airport. Then we went to departure hall, use the left to go upstairs, very easy. No much thing, saw few travelers, a traveler just sleeping. We found a good place for us to sleep when we on the way back, not sleep now. At about 8:00pm something, we decided to leave the airport as Eng did saw some taxi appeared.

I cashed out MOP$1,000.00(B$200~B$250) direct from the HSBC ATM machine, easy and convenient.

It was so fast to arrived New Century Hotel, about 10 minutes. Charge MOP$33.00(about B$7.30).

We cannot checked in yet as the checked in time is at 2:00pm in the afternoon, but we can store our luggage free. We just walked out the hotel and search for something to eat, Eng saw the “Tim Sam” shop, we went in and went direct upstairs as the ground floor was full. We don’t know how to order, a women just asked us what tea we want, Eng ordered it. Finally eng asked me to went down stairs to get something to eat. I order quite a lot, very nice and luxury breakfast, a bit oily. Too full and we cannot ate all the Tim Sam. Cost MOP$44(about B$9.70).

We walked around, nothing to see, just took some city building, no shop was open as I think it’s quite early but it was about 9:20am already. May be that day was Sunday. We changed our directly to another road, still no shop is open. So we have to walked back to Hotel for a rest. Eng found a place named “Kun Ye” street, so at about 11:30 noon, we called a taxi to go there. The taxi driver was so rude, just ask us to say when we want to go when I try to point out the map. He mentioned he also don’t know where it was.

The building.




















Macau street.


Finally we found the street name and told him, he drove so rude to the place. Luckily the charge was quite cheap, MOP$13.00(about B$2.80). Then we finally found the good place for tourist, the special street with all the small shop, I forget to took photos on these street. Clean and tidy. Eng want to buy a pan which cost MOP$99.00 for two, but cannot test, so she refused to buy. We walked through the street and exploring some old small street and houses. Road only for people to walk, not for car. Waling inside the small street and finally walked out from the small street, we arrived back to the main street. Then we found lot of good restaurant and lot of nice dishes to select. Finally we select once and went inside to have our lunch, it’s right time for much, 12 noon.

We still walked around after the lunch, found one small temple and some Portuguese houses. One house also became a restaurant.

We also found the famous cookies shop. We decided we will bought some from here before we left Macau. We backed to hotel at around 2:00pm, right time to checked in. Checked in was easy as we booked in Brunei. This hotel cost B$105.00 per night. We will stayed two nights on this hotel.

We just want to have the shower after not shower for one whole day!

After the shower, we felt tired, watched TV and fall to sleep.

We have our dinner at near by restaurant. I ordered the web style fly noodle, but it was not what I want. Never mind, it was still delicious. Cost MOP$22.00.

We just went back to hotel after the dinner as I think we really felt so tired after not really rest for one whole day.

Eng slept until 8:20am, Eng will never be like that as may be she was so tired. I cannot slept very well as I always wake up to the toilet very frequently.

We will joined the one day Macau trip at 9:30am today.
