I was very pleased that I managed to squeeze in an afternoon at Macau this time round. However, the journey there was marred only a slight hiccup because of my carelessness.
\nI woke up early on Sat 22 Jan and met my colleagues at Sheung Wan where we were supposed to take the ferry to Macau from. At the point where I paid for my ticket at the counter, the man behind the booth asked me if I had brought my passport. And I’m like “Oh shit!!!!”
\nYes, scatterbrained me didn’t have my passport with me! And it’s wasn’t because I forgot–I honestly thought there wasn’t a need to ‘cos I thought since I had already entered HK, I wouldn’t need to have to go through immigration again. So anyway, I had to rush back to TsimShaTsui to grab my passport. In the end, I arrived in Macau an hour after my three colleagues did. I definitely had my morning exercise cut out for me that day, what with all the running back and forth.
\nAnyway, we had fun that day walking around Macau. I think the only thing I missed out on was going to the new casino.
\n\"St<\/a>
\nThe famous St. Paul ruins of Macau. You haven’t been to Macau if you didn’t pay homage to this! In any case, nothing lies on the other side of the wall. Only the facade is left standing. Around the surrounding area there are still some ruins and a fort which now houses a museum.
\n\"Sun<\/a>

\nWe walked to the Sun Yet Sen museum and there we saw photographs taken of this revolutionary’s family, his younger days, and other historically significant moments of his career. His first wife lived in and died in this house.
\n\"Pitstop<\/a>
\nOh, how exciting! We made it to the pitstop of the Amazing Race! We found this by accident as we were walking at the top of the Floral Garden.
\n\"Macau<\/a>
\nOne of several buildings in the town centre which features some lovely architecture, a legacy of the Portuguese colonialization of the island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
