the night lights of hong kong and macau

"but if the bright lights don't receive you, you can turn yourself around, and come on home" - matchbox 20 (bright lights)

and i'm back!

or did you not know that i was gone? haha!

a lil over a week ago i took a lil 5-day vacation to hong kong and macau with the parentals. the trip was good. it was better than expected. i've actually been to hong kong before, in 1997 before the handover to china. and back then i didn't think it was that fun. but somehow i had more fun this time round. maybe i'm older and different or something.

i didn't do much shopping or gambling 'coz the clothes aren't all that cheap and i'm not exactly the gambling kind. i just play a bit of the slot machines, figure out that i'm not gonna win anything that way and just give up. however what i did do was to sightsee and of 'coz eat a fair bit of food. hmmm yummy!

even though this wasn't particularly yummy...

fried pig's intestines anyone?

here's the gorgeous city night lights of hong kong.



the view in the day ain't too bad either...


macau boasts some really lovely hotels...


and casinos...

and the best view of all had to be from the 58th floor in macau tower...

the bright night lights in macau is certainly a sight to behold.
