Galaxy Macau In Addition To Ruins Of St. Paul's (Hong Kong Twenty-Four Hours 4.2)
Agen BandarQ
For reasons unknown to us, Chelsea together with I assumed that Macau was an offshore isle to Hong Kong — much similar Sentosa is to Singapore. That couldn't hold upwards farther from the truth every bit nosotros later discovered that Macau uses their ain currencies (although they create select Hong Kong dollars occasioanlly too, especially at touristy areas); Macau has their ain airport; together with Macau is HUGE.
After alighting from our ferry ride, nosotros were horrified to acquire that nosotros were completely lost, together with nosotros didn't receive got connective either since our wifi device worked alone inward Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, nosotros followed our gut feelings together with planned our itinerary on the go. Left with no choice, Chelsea together with I went the quondam schoolhouse method inward Macau together with sought assistance from information counters together with traditional brochures/maps.
In the end, nosotros hopped on a cab (Uber wasn't pop dorsum inward 2016 — non that nosotros had wifi anyway) together with told the cab driver to only drib only off at a pop tourist spot. Our cluelessness garnered enquiry marks from the cab driver who questioned where were nosotros from together with if all Singaporeans move inward such a weird agency LOL.
He dropped us off at Galaxy Macau, i of the grandest hotels inward Macau consummate with a casino together with shopping mall.
There are daily unloose shuttle double-decker service from Macau Ferry Terminal together with other hotels too, if you're hotel hopping inward Macau.
Galaxy Macau had a greenish enshroud photobooth, which Chelsea together with I apparently utilised.
Since neither Chelsea nor I reached the legal gambling historic menstruum (we were 20) together with nosotros weren't into luxury shopping, nosotros didn't receive got much to do. After taking photos at Galaxy Macau, nosotros decided to hop on the unloose shuttle double-decker to notice Ruins of St. Paul's — the only tourist attraction nosotros knew inward Macau wth hahahha.
Thankfully, Milky Way Macau's staff were extremely hospitable fifty-fifty when nosotros weren't guests of the hotel, together with they guided us to the right shuttle bus.
On our agency to Ruins of St. Paul's, nosotros passed past times Rua de Sau Paulo, a street filled with Macau street snacks, international brands together with souvenir shops.
Got an eggtart hither because I'm a sucker for toruist traps LOL. Was delicious though. I mean, how tin you lot watch Macau without trying i of their pipage hot eggtarts?
Ruins of St. Paul's was filled with tourists, fifty-fifty on a weekday. To hold upwards honest, despite my dearest for historical mounuments, I didn't notice Ruins of St. Paul's especially grand or magnificent. It was adept to run across the intricate designs upwards unopen but that's well-nigh it. I'm sorry, no abhor here, but I don't run across the hype.
You tin run across how crazy it was that I was inward such sparse layers (and afterwards removing them for photos) when you lot compare me to the windbreakers other tourists were wearing.
The church building was destroyed inward 1835 past times a burn together with this facade is the only reminder of St. Paul's Church. St. Paul's Church used to hold upwards i of Asia's biggest church building together with its ruins are straightaway a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We made a modest plough into an alley amongst Ruins of St. Paul's together with institute a picturesque spot. That's my favourite affair well-nigh Macau — the streets reminds me of Europe since its colonial influence was every bit recent every bit inward 1999.

I institute it interesting that right contrary the historical mounument houses a street of similar F21. Much of Macau's architecture reminds me of Europe, together with I'm guessing it has to create with their Portuguese dominion from 1557 to 1999. Even the street name, Santo António, holds Portuguese roots.
I bought delicious egg rolls from Koi Kei Bakery, the store inward carmine on the right of this photo. Koi Kei Bakery provides samples of the confectionery they sell together with I spent almost one-half an sixty minutes at that spot picking out the snacks to select back. Their egg rolls were fragrant together with crumbly — I haven't institute anything similar to that inward Singapore!
