Macao : Day 4,5,6 featuring Dreamworks Garden at Cotai Central!
Phew~ I never thought I would get so
much positive feedbacks from all of you to continue my holiday report! So thank
you for encouraging me to do this holiday report (again) and I hope this post
will also delight your eyes too with a lot of good quality pictures taken
freshly from my bad pocket camera!
The Venetian at the night |
As what I told you before in here, we
went to Macao on the fourth day of the holiday and stayed there for the next 2
days. We took the ferry to there, and here are some pictures I managed to snap
before I totally fell into asleep for being seasick and feeling not very
healthy atm. The weather wasn’t nice at all, there was a storm I believed, so
the sea seemed to be in a rage too—the ferry moved a lot up and down, side to
side and it was causing me seasick that I chose to sleep than to throw my food
up.
The journey took 1 hour more and less, I
wasn’t pretty sure about it because I was sleeping all the way LOL! After we
arrived there, as maybe some of you have known that we have to pass through the
immigration check all over again because basically, Hong Kong and Macao has
their own government in this case. Yet Macao has its own currency too!
the flower decoration at the lobby of Conrad Macao! |
We were staying at Conrad Hotel, at
Cotai Central. It was in front of the famous The Venetian®, and in between the Sheraton Hotel and
Holiday Inn. I love staying there that it was very convenient to walk whether
to the Cotai Shopping Central itself, to the Holiday Inn hotel (to sneak some
pictures LOL) or to The Venetian® area because they were all connected.
What delighted me the most was this
Dreamworks Garden in the Cotai Central! OMG there were this Dreamworks animated
film booths and everyday at noon, the characters were going to come out and
people could take pictures with them!
quickly snap a picture while we just had our breakfast. look at the coffee cups lol |
this sakura tree is artificial man-made one, but as beautiful as the real one! |
The time schedule itself was not very
clear to me, but glad that I made it to snap some pics with Shrek (even though
I saw that flabby Panda over there, Shrek’s booth was the most beautiful of the
other ones!)
In the middle of the garden there was
this fountain, and it sang. Yep, it did. The water in the fountain was
following the rhythm of the song itself; when the tone got high so did the
fountain. The higher the tone, the higher the water would be! It was very amazing,
and the garden? Needn’t I have to say more, you can see how beautiful it was
right? *wink*
After the pictures *click click* we
walked through this Bridge Of Stars, to The Venetian®. This bridge was very beautiful and
interesting to see how actors, actresses and all the big famous names were
there! Most of the famous people who had their hand stamps there were old Hong
Kong movie stars and such, the only name I recognized was Wu Zhun…while my
Granny and Grandpa recognized almost all of the rest.
there were my crews! LOL |
The Venetian®'s buildings |
Really wished I could’ve stayed at The
Venetian® someday! It was a very cool place, the
hall, the paintings, the shopping center, the gondolas…too bad it was very
crowded being famous for a luxury, beautiful hotel in Macao and when it came to
holiday I wanted it to be quiet and enjoyable, which meant there were no chance
for me to stay at a crowded one like in The Venetian®. I hate to hear people walking and
talking with loud voice at the hotel’s corridor—this is a personal opinion, but
you must know that feeling.
the lobby near the entrance! see the cool paintings on the ceiling? fly to the 18th centuries already? XD |
Aaaaaaaaaand when every stores in The
Venetian® Shopping Center were a luxury,
designer and high end brands of fashion and beauty, the store that attracted me
so much were this store! I never thought I would ever come to this store
physically, I mean I wasn’t so into Lush even tho I wanted too, and I never
thought it could have a store here! Buying some items from them also ~~ I REGRET WHY I ONLY BOUGHT TWO ITEMS ATM ASDFGHJKL
LUSH I MISS YOU ALREADY |
The gondola riding seemed fun too, but
maybe next time…I got almost no time but to
walk to some
famous
and proved-delicious restaurants…
Here’s some pictures of my hotel room
at Conrad Macao, I love it very much! LOL the pillows were very comfy, I couldn’t
get my head up no matter that I had already slept for a great amount of time or
not…
the complimentary candy, I swear they're sweet and delicious! |
Seeing this picture quickly make me feel so sleepy again... |
B-duck fever was all over da world! Found this on the top of toiletries drawer inside the bathroom... |
The next day we walked to another area
of Macao—it was the real Macao, the land we stayed at, where The Venetian®, Cotai Central built on reclaimed
man-made land (upon a sea!)—and as predicted before, be prepared to see the old
buildings mixed with the modernity there!
Lisboa was the first casino there, I
heard about it from my Grandpa and correct me if I’m wrong kay? I love how they
didn’t rebuild the old building instead of building a new one, with the same
name and a better, more beautiful and futuristic building of Grand Lisboa!
the old Lisboa! |
the new Grand Lisboa! |
I walked inside the Grand Lisboa
awhile, and here I managed to snap some pictures. And some selcas. With my almost
bare face.
this fountain is AWESUMMMMMMM |
After the walk inside, time to walk the
road down deeper into the Macao’s streets! I really wanted to enter some
places, old buildings and such, a market too but the time just was too short
for me to grant my wishes. I really want to come back there one day, and really
have the walk to the places I wanted to walk! (‾‾◊‾‾”)
Closing the day after a tiring walk
here and there, with a dinner at O Santos, an amazing Portuguese restaurant at
Taipa! I didn’t manage to snap a pic of that amazing restaurant with the
amazing foods—because of the cam’s battery ugh—but thank God I still managed to
take this picture of Serrandura ice cream, from Bitter Sweet Desset. It’s also
located at Taipa, and the ice cream was supaaaaaaa delicious for being not too
sweet and the topping was Marie cookies I believe, an old favorite of everyone,
eh?
And I think that’s all I can tell you
about my journey when I was in Macao for sure. Not so many pics, and not all of
them are beautiful due to the usage of pocket camera—you know how DSLR’s
quality right…and price—but I hope you will enjoy this report! Yet, I think
this report is worse than the part one here, ugh, but I’m trying my best to do
the reports like so. For the next trip I promise, I will upload a more decent
report to all of you—so please pray for me that I can go back there again in no
time! Part three of my reports is on the making, anyway.
