one night in hong kong

Well, there's a lot of thing I want to describe about Hong Kong but I just don't know where to start. I'll just point out the important point to you guys according to the photo I shoot. Well, the first picture above was the view from the highlands which I forgot what's the hill's name already. It's the place where the wax house was located. For your information, there's no more detached or semi-detached houses for the citizens. Only high-rise. Detached houses are for president and some of the movie superstar like Jackie Chen.

This is Saddam. Looks real, eh? I saw him in the wax house.

This was taken at Hong Kong's National Expo Conference area

the old-fashion hong kong's ship

the view of hong kong. hong kong is divided into 2 area. This is the view from Arena of Stars.

Look at the hustle and bustle in Hong Kong. fucking lots of people. it's 50 times more crowded than Kuala Lumpur. Shit. They don't drive. They prefer walking. That's why the streets were full of people. Not even a motorbike that you can see.

look at the these olympics crowd when the traffic goes red for the car. it's so full.

this is the place where we call it the ladies street. nv ren jie. it's more or less like chi chong gai in KL but it's 10 times bigger, crowded and the stall keepers are easily annoyed and angry if you ask the price while you don't want to buy

i forgot what's this place is call but it's nice to see the streets were full of stalls and peoples. it's really what we call the street nightlife. i miss out the chance to go lam kwai fong. the best street nightlife in hong kong where you can have beers on the street and there's tons of bars all along the street. we doesn't have enough time to reach there. the time is so rush. people in hong kong walked fast and they don't really care what's happening around them. unlike we malaysian will stop by an accident looking at the victim or how was the car crash looks like or something. they don't even care. they're all up with their thing with the mp3s and so on.

This is the MTR which is their subway railway system. it's 5 times longer, faster and crowded than the one in malaysia. there's once in the early morning where we take the MTR. i tried to look how far could it be but i couldn't see the front neither the back. lol

their subway has 2 levels. be careful when you are riding their MTR. don't hop on the wrong train. lol. they have shopping malls underground in the subway which from my point of view it's hella convenient for these peoples to drop by and shop around. you don't have to go so far away just to buy a RM10 shoes will you? lol

the nightview of hong kong. it was consider the 3rd world ranking best night view of a city. this was taken using regina's camera so they view was abit spoiled lol

the other side of night view

hong kong museum of history. opposite of this is the science museum of hong kong. too bad we can't get in the science museum. it wasn't open yet so we left to disneyland after that :)

the museum was so huge and u need a map for that @.@

the map for chinese university of hong kong. it's so huge!! 5 times larger than UMS. they had railway system in their university lol. very convenient. we drop by for 10 minutes at their subway gate, took a picture and left. scroll down more to see the picture.

their highway packed with cars just like a very long dragon. mostly you can see are the trucks, lorries, busses and taxis. they don't normally drive here as far as i know cause if they were to drive, they have to buy a parking place back in their home or apartment. one parking space cost them HKD1million. that is so shit.

inside the chinese university of hong kong

if you ever watched young and dangerous, this was the place the movie was taken.

the train to disneyland. cute huh? lol it looks like mickey mouse

hey mickey

mickey is surfing

the main gate into HK disneyland. HKD350 per entry for tourist. HKD650 for one whole year if i didnt remember it wrongly but it's only for the locals. we didn't manage to get in. it's too expensive for people like us lol

disneyland's train. it's so comfortable. they had sofas inside the train

the ferries to MACAO. it took 45 minutes for these ferries to reach MACAO

okay. ocean park. more or less like sunway lagoons but its much better. Wen Xin, Kay Kay and Ah MA manage to go in there for 1 whole day. i'm trying to cut down my words here so in summary, it's a lot nicer compare to sunway. you can enjoy the ocean's circus by the dolphins if you like fish :)

this is the place where all the statue for tao's religious are placed. Ekin Chen lives nearby here. I'll show you when it is the picture's turn.

fuck. jay chou is alot shorter than me. i have to kneel down abit. pui

anyone likes wing chun!?

damn, she's hot. i love girl in cop's uniform. i forgot her name already lol. fuck while you dont know her name

damn, he really looks good in the wax. wonder what if it's a real person. tall and handsome guy

elvis presley

sui!

see the brown condo? ekin chen lives somewhere in there. lol

ekin chen residence. heard he moved already so we're not really sure whether he still there or not

hsbc bank

shopping outlets at Tung Chun. the only place with cheaper fashion outlets. most are the factory outlets. tourist first choice. as the shopping malls in the city area are shit smalls and compact. Tung Chun is located at the hill area nearby the Big Buddha statue guy. ah, fuck. we didn't manage to see the big buddha. not enough time. you have to sit in cable car to up that far to see him.

hahaha ting ting. that's what they call it in HK. the oldest public transport in HK but it's still in operation. look how they take care of their public transport. oh yes, HK is cleaner than KL but not as clean as MACAO. HK is starting to ban smoking. you can only smoke around the rubbish bin where there are ashtray and if you disobey the law, you'll get penalties of HKD1500. great?

sorry about this post. the post will be very long if im gonna explain everything about HK. the food there was so expensive which is around average HKD40 - 60. well, you can just asked me about it and i'll answer it to you about HK. it's fun in HONG KONG. LAM KWAI FENG. if you're there during saturday night, u have to drop by LAM KWAI FENG.

next time for me, adios.

macau

5 pattacas

1 pattaca

macau notes

one of the government's office in macau.

what do you understand about casinos? macau was the best place for gambling in asia. the only city in asia that provide the most grand and world-class casinos. for your information, they have 33 casinos in whole macau.

as in my introduction here, macau is a very small place with a very compact living. macau is considered as part of china's province but china's government does not have the right to manipulate their economy, laws and development. macau has their own government as they are the only place and city not only in china but asia that provide the most entertainment in gambling industry. macau is a very rich place for rich people. you hardly seen anyone with cheap clothes or accessories. you hardly seen a shop with reasonable price or cheap price. i'll tell you where to buy cheap cloths or accesories. you would had to choose to buy it at the stalls around the corner where all the tourist attractions are.

macau has lots of history of the portuguese occupation. they had all the portuguese building design, portuguese road design, portuguese walkway, portuguese food, portuguese casinos, portuguese writing all over macau. even in the food menu, if you can't read chinese then you gonna have to read the portuguese. it would freeze you deciding whats gonna come into your stomach. you point whatever fuck you want to eat and tell them. thats what i did. okay. whats in macau.

i love macau. it's very beautiful. so fucking beautiful. if you love history and arts or casinos, you're gonna love macau. dont be so stupid to hang out in the casinos whole day if you're gonna travel around macau because there are 33 casinos for you to choose. it's the asia's vegas. lots of very old building around macau. they had very good impression on their history during portuguese occupation. around 600 years if im not mistaken and it's rather a long time and longer than that in Melaka, Malaysia. the churches, the sanctuary, the fort were all still nice. you dont have to drive a car in macau. you just walk or talk buses. i would chose macau's girl rather than the girl in hongkong or malaysia. i dont know why but they all have this sort of attraction where they are different abit from the rest of the asian. portuguese mix probably and they had a very different way of clothing and i totally like it. probably due to those expensive clothing and accesories they had. and surprisingly, i saw secondary student using an louis vuitton bag to school. and some university's student carrying handbag like the LVs, gucci and prada. that was so shit. for your information as well, macau was clean. you hardly seen people smoking around the streets or throwing rubbish everywhere. they had police patroling every street and they are very discipline and strict. if you're gonna dump rubbish on the streets, think twice. each rubbish summons you MOP500 and thats around RM240++. people only smokes at the ashtray on every rubbish bin. they are implementing singaporean's awful clean law.

their economies are based on gambling, casinos and tourism. you would have to wonder why they don't have theme parks. they would rather invest their money on casinos as theme park wont bring income as much as casinos. it's rather rational and logic as well. all the nerds and stupids would have go macau to gamble all their money and donate their money to the macau government. for example, the casino Sands. they spend over 17 million USD to build up one casino and it takes 7 months for them to earn their cost back. would you understand how stupid we all are? macau citizens or residents wont gamble their life. they work hard inside the casinos. their diamond and jeweleries shop operates 24 hours everyday. generally, they're waiting the gamblers to win some money and buy some jeweleries and diamond. and the average diamond and jeweleries i saw is around MOP 200,000 - MOP 400,000. calculate it yourselves. im not joking.

pork chop burger. sorry for the muslims. no offense. im just sharing. you can buy it for MOP8 or more.

the police in macau

i dont know whats this place called but it's more or less like a town square

the musical fountain of wynn

we found lots of rolls royce around the casinos. lol. you can't touch but you can take photos of it.

the casinos

if you're a buddhist, don't worry. plenty of buddhist temple for you :) this is the path to all those buddhist temple.

they had a rally car museum in macau

st. paolo from far

the streets in macau. cars and motorcycles are not allowed here. people dont normally drive in macau. they walk. even if they own a vehicle, they dont drive alot. and the motorbikes here were all single seat unlike in malaysia has double seats and they drive scooters commonly

one of the streets in macau.

the ceiling inside the lobby of venetian

one of the sanctuary in macau

st. paolo main door church. the side walls are made of glutinous rice and amazingly, it can build up a church and this main door never burnt down eventho the santuary behind it was burnt down 3 times. the miracles of the christians?

st. paolo church main's door attracts me. st paolo church was burnt down 3 times but the main door never been burnt down. i dont know why but it's kinda miracle as you can see lord jesus and mother mary statue was on the design of the building itself.

las vegas invested some casinos by which are the Wynn, Sands and Venetian. these casinos are the casinos thats gonna stunned you with a WOW once you walked inside. they had musical fountain, indoor's venice gondola and trees of prosperities show inside. i dont know what does it called as but it's really amazing inside. it's grand. i felt like genting's casino is dropping out of their standard a way up behind. these are the casinos that was related to the bellagio back in vegas. and if you had watched ocean 11, bellagio was robbed in a clean way by these 11 pranks.

night view of the streets in macau.

the walkway path into the casino in venetian

they had a man-made colloseums for attractions but there's hardly people going around these attractions so the big boss made a big financial loss rather than making a profit out of it. it was for entertainment such as live dramas for people to watch. in Malaysia, we build buildings by using irons supportive to bring the workers up to do their job, but in Macau, they use bamboos. surprisingly, it can support them for such a high buildings.

China is trying to make a quota for those who are going to Macau. citizens of china can only travel to macau once in 2 months because Macau is 10 times far more rich than china. and they believe that is one of the reason that china never become as rich as macau. macau had their own currency which we called as MOP. 100 Macau Pattacas is around 42.6 Malaysian Ringgit. they called it Pattacas in Macau. in chinese, we called it as "OU BI".

the food there was so fucking expensive as for example, one plate of noodle is around MOP20 to MOP40 depends. the cheapest food or drinks you can get is in the casinos and most of the casinos provide free foods and drinks unless you are eating in their restaurant. google up their casinos in youtube and check out their casinos and you'll be amazed of their casinos. portuguese egg tart was one of the macau's popular local delicacies. you should try it. it's really nice. if you need a cigarettes, cigarettes sold in 7-eleven were all around MOP20 for marlboros but you can try the local china's cigarette for less than that and normally around MOP14 or less. one bottle of beer is around MOP7 and you hardly seen a smuggle type of beer. one of the thing i thought was, why maggie instant noodle never made it to china's economy? i saw INDON MEE and MI SEDAP in the local supermarket but not maggie instant noodle. only maggie's ingredient. I love their LOK LOK. almost same like what we had in Malaysia but they don't have the fried type. they little curry soup in your polystyrene cup you hold for your sticks.

if you're a gambler let me tell you whats their minimum bet. i made a survey for small gambler, minimum bet for

baccarat = MOP50 or HKD 50
sic-bo = MOP25 or HKD 25
roulette = MOP25 or HKD 25
caribbean poker = MOP100 or HKD 100
blackjack = MOP100 or HKD 100

these are the popular games. the rest of the games i dont know what's it like

if you like to play slot games, min bet is MOP20. ohyah. in macau they accept HKD as well especially in casinos but not on the stalls, shops or restaurant around the streets. HKD = Hong Kong Dollar. the rate is almost equivalent to MOP but if you can use MOP to buy food, it would be better as the rate are lower abit. but in casinos, i would advise you to use up your HKD.

man-made colloseum

this is where all the diamonds chandellier came down. as you can see, this ceiling is made of gold. this ceiling caused the casinos 2 million USD. it perform a very amazing performance once every half an hour.

night view of macau

one of the church in macau. i forgot the name

Venetian casinos and resort. one of the casinos in top-10 world ranking

inside view of venetian. the sky you see in this picture is the ceiling and is fake but it looks real.

I managed to snap the pictures of their casinos and getting caught. ahahhaa

this is where the tree of prosperity came out from the gold plated ground. and it synchronize with thousands of diamonds chandelier coming down from the ceiling. it's so fucking amazing

this is wynn.

night view of macau. that was grand lisboa

grand lisboa hotel's lobby

they had 4 seasons in macau. well, by the time we're in macau, the weather was windy. i never sweat there and it keeps on raining over there. i had to wear shoes the whole day walking around. oh ya, 98% of the people in macau wear shoes. they dont wear slippers or sandals. even for the old folks. hahaha. hard to believe right? i remember one night i had to walk to the casinos to gamble and it was so fucking cold that i shivered all the way to the casinos. what surprisingly is that the casinos and the hotel is not that cold as the outside environment. wtf. you can see lots of prostitudes around the lower standard casinos and hotel around macau. you dont have to ask them, they will come to you. giving you numbers. if you need them, just give them a call. i dont know about the price but you should know it better than me.

once in a lifetime, you gotta drop by Macau. a city of dreams. asia's vegas. they are awfully amazing places, too grand and it's out of my expectation. well, maybe you been to places or casinos better than this, but for those who are on low-budget, try macau. i would have to say i miss macau more than hong kong eventually.

good luck to you too if you're there :)
