ME & MACAU - PART 3

Day 2 - Part B

Letih melawat Museu De Macau & Ruins of St Paul tak habis, we were then escorted plak ke Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre. By the tranquil Macau waterfront, Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre, overlooks the panoramic view of the Pearl River Delta as well as the horizons of Macau city at 338 meters above the ground. Kira kat Malaysia, Macau Tower ni macam KL Tower la jugak cuma dia rendah sikit ketinggiannya.

Macau Towers ni adalah the 10th tallest freestanding tower in the world and the adjacent Convention & Entertainment Centre offers a variety of facilities; including exhibition and conference space, a 500 seat theatre, several restaurants, a shopping area as well as an outdoor plaza.

Among team building activities available here at Macau Tower are bungy jumping, mast climbing, sky jump and skywalk X. Our group were offered to try all of these activities but I guess we all semua penakut.....termasuklah aku. Anyway, 3 of us have decided to try Skywalk X - a thrilling walk around the outer rim of the tower at 233 meters above ground. I tell you, although this is consider activity yang tak le gayat sangat tapi aku masih tak berani nak buat dan surely benda ni takes the hair rising fun of skywalk to its limit.




Pemandangan dari atas Macau Tower ni memang menarik dan seluruh area Macau ni dapat dilihat dari atas nih. Sama macam KL Tower, dia pun ada Revolving Restaurant dan Observation Deck.





Kiranya trip we all ni memang a bit tight sebab we have to cover lots of places dalam masa yang agak singkat. The next place tempat yang we all lawati adalah the infamous Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel yang merupakan one of Asia's most exciting entertainment destinations and preeminent convention and exhibition venues.

Tempat ini memang besar bangat dan large enough to hold ninety (90) Boeing 747 jumbo jets (no kidding man). Another thing is nowhere else in Asia will you find such a rare combination of facilities, attractions and amenities than at this 3,000 suite flagship property. Ambik ko!!!!

Kat sini ada more than 350 premium retail shops dibina begitu elegant dengan ciri-ciri macam kat Venice, Italy. Jugak kat sini ada over 100,000 square meters (1,000,000 square feet) of convention, exhibition and meeting facilities . Not to mention over 30 world-class restaurants, with award-winning chefs from every major culinary tradition creating dishes with flair and imagination . Last but not least ada 15,000 seat Venetian Arena that can be configured to hold events of any type. The latest was Konsert Beyonce......wadusss....yangtak jadi kat Malaysia tu lah!!




One thing yang aku tak suka kat The Venetian ni ialah ianye terlalu besarrrrrrrrrrrrrr sesangat dan letih dibuatnye berjalan dari sini ke sinun. Sampaikan we all rasa give-up sebab letih berjalan. Oh lupalak nak kasi tau. Kat Macau ni almost all hotels ada kasino dia orang sendiri. Kat The Venetian ni, kasino dia adalah yang terbesar di dunia......ahhhhh amik ko lagi sekali. Kiranya Kerajaan Macau ni mengadaptasi konsep "Macau Boleh" la kot......suma nye nak besar!!

Kerja kat Macau ni memang loaded maklumle gaji seorang driver bas pun dapat dalam RM9,000. Yang kerja kat kasino tukang carik-carik kad poker tu pun dia bayar RM10,000 bayangkan lah..........that's why ramai sangat bangsa-bangsa asing kerja kat sini...termasuklah Malaysians.

Letih pusing-pusing kat dalam ni, we all pun lepas tu dibawa ke hotel restaurant dia yang dipanggil 'The Bambu'. The makanan not bad dan seperti biasa aku pun terpaksala makan seafood aje.....maklumla yang lain-lain tu bukan nye halal pun. Tapi satu yang mengejutkan aku, kat area pastry dia boleh ada " Banana Fritters Malay Style aka Pisang Goreng dan Ondeh-Ondeh.....ni mesti chef dia dari Malaysia nih....kalau tak macam mana ada benda nih...kan???
