Monday, November 15, 2004 Macau Trip Here are the pictures taken in Macau. A very nice place to go. I find this place very funny as you get to see English, Chinese and Portuguese signboards. You will see names like Fruja de Hua Xin or Mercado de Macau. :)Macau is a former Portuguese enclave that was initially established as a missionary trading post in 1513 and thereafter became Asia's first European colony. In December 1999 it was reunited with China. Over 400 years of Portuguese rule has endowed it with a distinctly southern European feel. Macau's balmy climate, outdoor cafes, Portuguese place names written on colorful tile squares, cathedrals and public squares. It doesn't feel like you are in Asia. Our first stop was to this place called Margaret's .... NATA. The tarts were DELICIOUS. At the end of the trip, we actually went to this restaurant to get more tarts to bring back to Hong Kong. Delicious..delicious!!! The tarts...YUMMY! Santa Casa da Misericordia.. I like this picture. Took it on purpose. No idea why.... :) The most famous relic is the Ruins of St. Paul, once dubbed the "greatest monument to Christianity in all the Eastern lands". Museu de Macau... Before we left Macau, we went to a famous Portuguese Restaurant called Solmar. But the food was SO-SO only. A great place to go too. I only spent one day there. I will definately want to go there again in future. Air Asia will have new flight to Macau in December 15. Check it out at Air Asia. Macau NEW! 1st flight December 15, 2004 from RM 636.00 per person Everyone is still on vacation tomorrow. But I will be working. :( I know a bunch of people who are not working tomorrow. Cheerz!
