A piece of Venice in Asia

My stay in Macau has been nothing short of Fun. My eyes festived with wonderful sights, my mind enriched with rich culture and history and my tummy's been filled with - err.. umm, let's say unusual cuisine.

In addition to this, here are some photos of me and my friends in our temporary royal-like "home" here in Macau. ( Thanks to Ate Vanj and Kuya for the huge discount they gave us!!!)




The lobby looks golden!


Look at those paintings on the roof! Looks heavenly! This hallway leads to the Casino but no cameras' not allowed inside so I can't show you how it looks like =(

The corridors to the rooms are just like that of a regular hotel - look at the bellboy peeping as I take the picture


Our suite has 2 double beds and a mini sala overlooking the golf course!




The bathroom has a tub and shower with an elegant interior finish
and to end our night, we had a little happy happy party in our humble suite! hehe..





Venetian inspired hotel interiors they say, makes you feel like you're in Venice!

This indoor Gondola ride is open not only to hotel guests but for all the visitors who wish to ride it

waitng for my turn to experience the Gondola Ride...

The Grand Canal looks much bigger in picture than its actual size
This is our Portugese boatmen singing some Portuguese songs as we ride the Gondola. TRIVIA: Don't you know that they actually auditioned to be boatmen of the Gondola. It's a must that you know how to sing well!

Here at St. Mark's Square you can watch the STREETMOSPHERE group sings some Venetian songs. Also lined here are variety of shops ( just like a mall)

The group taking picture with a human statue. By the way, those clouds are fake. This place is painted with clouds on the roof to look as if we are outdoor.
Surprisingly, on this really luxurious place there's a food court that sells good food at a fairly reasonable price!
Some healthy soya desserts! Yummy!!!
foodcourt offers wide variety of cuisinefrom Chines, Japanese,Vietnamese, Italian, etc...
The theather lobby ( south wing of the hotel) where the Circus is played on schedule
We watched ZAIA - A circus show. Tickets are bit pricey but they say if you can afford it, you better watch it! This show well recomended by everyone in Macau.

One of the outdoor swimming pools. We were told that there are really expensive rooms here at the hotle that actually have their own outdool pools!


Oh what a good life! I hope I can stay here longer....Anyway, more of Macau on my next entry!
