Why Macau? Well, we've heard so much about the place and I think it is the closest thing to Las Vegas we can get here in Asia. Not to mention a touch of Venice experience in Venetian hotel. So why not, right?
Macau is compose of 3 Islands - Macau, Coloane and Taipa.
Macau Island is more of the Busy place where tourist activities and business takes place, Taipa is more of a residential area, a more laid back place to stay and Coloane is more of a historical heritage site.( Thanks to a Semi- Macanese native Ate Vanj, Diana's cousin for all these infos ).
Will tell you more about the places and my adventures with my HS buddies in the next entries, For now, I'd focus on one of bravest undertaking I've made. My Macau SKY JUMP EXPERIENCE!
The Macau Tower, is the tallest SkyJump tower tower and is the 10th tallest building in the world ( Up to date ). Height measures 338 m (1,109 ft) from ground level to highest point.

The lower Observation Deck
You can see a panoramic view of Macau from the deck. There is also a coffee shop and a souvenir shop in this area
Glass bottom floors allows the guests to view the tower from below. For those who are afraid of heights, this might me a real challenge to walk on.
View looking down on the glass flooring... Whew, I'm a bit scared to look down.
Admiring the view...

On the way up to the 61st floor we met a Chinese guy who made the first BUNJEE jump of the day! Of course, I need to take a picture with this brave soul!

WHOHAAAA!!!! That's me doing the SKY JUMP!!!!! You just didn't know how many times I tried to back out. HEHE! It was a CRAZY, CRAZY experience but is all worth it!!!
Free fall jump with NO parachute, just a harness attached to my back!!!! I lost my voice shouting and I haven't reached the bottom of the tower yet. That's how high it was!
Got free Tshirt, a baller, a certificate and a membership card! I'm a certified sky jumper now! YEBA! ( You can get a DVD copy of your jump if you want to. Well, I did!)
