Macau Series: Night Life

Don't go to Macau if you are just planning on staying inside your room at night (except when you enjoy staycation more).  Macau is more alive at night with its bright colors and highly spirited surroundings.

bright and colorful lights everywhere

wanna ride?



 After a quick rest at the hotel, we return to San Malo (which is just a few steps from our hotel) to see the streets at night.  It is now teeming with people and all of the shops are so alive.  We went with our usual window shopping.

can't get enough of egg tarts

The church is more exquisite at night.

We also tried some street food for our dinner.

this is a hit among the locals.. I hate the smell of the sauce though

mas masarap kwek kwek dito hehe

Then off to see some more of the hotels.

typical underpass

clean walls and cooler here

the oldest business on earth

the new bridge at night

1st stop - Old Lisboa

This is the mother of all hotels here.  Its design can attest to that.  These days, this hotel is more of a meeting area for escort girls.

Chinese dragon signs

2nd stop - Wynn Hotel

Another grand hotel.  This is where Mike works so he knows the ins and outs of this hotel by heart including the show schedules.

attraction at the entrance

At the entrance, there is the dancing fountain.  It's quite a wonder to watch the water dancing.  The best part of it, the show is - it's for free.

Oh LV!

more shops

and a Ferrari shop... too bad, closed already when we arrive

Like the other grand hotels, it also has a gigantic ceiling art work featuring the Chinese signs (made of steel).  It also has a show at the center where the tree of life will emerge.  However, my camera battery was already empty when the show started so no pictures nor videos from this point on.

the Zodiac signs

huge right?

We also went to MGM hotels which features a butterfly sanctuary.  There are still some few hotels that we were not able to visit since it's already past midnight after we are through with MGM.  Those are now on my bucket list for my next visit.

All I can say after visiting the hotels in Macau is - our hotels here in the Philippines look  so inferior compared to these hotels. "Biglang level up na din mga standards ko sa mga hotels ngaun".
