Minhas férias de Macau

Minhas férias de Macau- Means "My Macau Vacation" in Portuguese. It's been years since Macau was colonized by the Potuguese but its effect it is still very evident up to the present. Most people speak Mandarin or Macanese language but customs and traditions still roots from their Portuguese ancestors. This explains why there are lots of Catholic Churches in the area. From a humble fishermans village, Macau has come along way. It is now known as the Las Vegas of Asia due to it's countless Casinos and entertainment sites.

Continuing on my Macau vacation with friends, here are some shots of the places we've visited.

The Macau Business Tourist Center located at the downtown. You can see exhibits and maps of the area in this place. Macau currency is called the MAcau Pataca ( MOP ). Most shops accepts Hongkong Dollars of $20 HKD denomination and up. They do not accept any value lower than that, as per the natives it is because its hard to look for Money changers that accepts smaller HK currency.

"The Ruins" - The face / front side of Saint Paul Cathedral is what's left of it after a fire burned it down centuries ago. This now serves as a popular tourist spot.
