Budget traveling: Hong Kong and Macau #1

Hello guys, we’re in 4 friends went to Hong Kong and Macau last March (1 – 5 March 2013). We spent 4 days in Hong Kong and a side day trip in Macau. 3 nights we stayed at the yesinn @ causeway bay which 2 minutes away from the causeway bay mrt station. If you wish to stay there (it’s quite convenience for the backpackers) here is the website. http://www.yesinn.com/cwb/e_yesinncwb_aboutus.htm

Day 1 - We touchdown at Hong Kong international airport around 1pm and we took airport express train to Hong Kong city. Actually tak berapa nak ingat dah train route ni, so sorry guys. But its okay, at information counter ada train route map for your reference. Ermm if you guys want to use MRT for your transport then you need to buy octopus card. Ianya boleh didapati di airport & you may top up the card at 7eleven or any shop yang ada top up service. Hehe.

After done our check-in, kitorang jalan-jalan kat area causeway bay lihat apa-apa yang menarik. We entered IKEA and unknown mall (can’t remember the name) haha untuk habiskan masa kami & survey apa yang patut. Suasana Hong Kong city at night agak meriah dan selamat untuk tourist macam kita.

Dalam ikea- kami beli cup, sudu, garpu bagai sebab kami bawa bekalan makanan dari Malaysia. hehe

Day 2 – Off to Macau. We took Macau turbo jet from Hong Kong. Once we reached Macau, we went to shuttle bus station which is located at outside ferry terminal. We took shuttle bus to Lisbao casino. Sorry kami tak berjudi, just drop by je..hehe

Lets breakfast before we start our journey.

yeaaahhh lihat di sekeliling anda..CASINOOOO haha

Look behind, its The Macau Square!!

On our way to St Paul Ruin.

In front of church. tak ingat nama..hehe

Ok then we walked to Ruins of St Paul. It is one of the most visited Macau attractions. Originally built in 17th century, it was destroyed by fire in 1835 & what remains till today is the facade of the Church & St Paul’s college. If you wish to take a bus so do take bus no 2, 5, 10, 18, 19, 26A.

Tarian singa. Kebetulan kami datang masih lagi dalam mood Chinese New Year.

Then we went to the Macau Tower. A soaring 338 meters above the city and is the 10th highest freestanding tower in the world and the 8th tallest in Asia. And if you think you’re an adventurous person, do try the world’s highest bungy jump with 233m/764ft. I wish to try on it but quite pricey for me. Rasanya almost rm1000. Next time maybe. Hehe..

This is Macao Tower.

update status fb & twitter, upload pics in instagram..wifi connected at Macao Tower.. 

Next destination was Venetian Macau the world largest casino, is one of Asia’s most exciting entertainment destination, and nowhere else in Asia will you find such a rare combination of facilities, attractions and amenities. We took cab from Macau tower to get there.

We took a ride on an authentic Venetian gondola.

She's an Italian blood and she sang Italian songs. Chao Bella!!

Ooops forgot already. Actually before we went back to the hostel, we dropped by to Ladies Street, Hong Kong. Anyone who visits Hong Kong would surely knows the existence of this famous street. It is a must-visit destination for tourist to buy souvenirs or other stuff. To get there, take MTR Mong Kok Station Exit E2, then walk along Nelson Street for two blocks.

Okay guys...to be continued.... :)
