Shengri Macau

Eine Reise Zu Macau - a July voyage to Macau.

Another oppurtunity to travel presented mid-May lasy 2008. This time in the land where east meets west.

A patchwork metropolis of old and new, a place where Portugal meets China, grilled sardines meets dim sum, and ancient tradition presses against the glitz and glamour of the betting world...my birthday destination in 2008.. Macau!

My "star studded" Bangkok Trip in July 2007 failed in comparison to the cast of Viejeng Macau. Yes, you counted it right, Fourteen! 14 young professionals trooped to the cultural and architectural heritage of Macau on a one intially-sunny-turned-rainy-day in July 2008.

We went to Macau in two batches - Mark was already in Macau even before the 1st batch arrived. First batch comprised of Carla, Charles, Bong, Che and Van while Elsa, Ron, Dex, Lynn, Christian, Mich, Sol and I were the 2nd batch.

We toured all of Macau's tourist spots in 3 days nd 2 nights. We island hopped from Macau Peninsula to Taipa to Coloane and back. We went to Cotai strip, feast at the sights of Venetian Hotel including the St Mark's Plaza. We rode the Gondala in San Luca Canal while listening to very romantic italian song. Of course, the bungy jumping at the Macau tower was included in the Viajeros itinerary.
