Macau – The Venetian

April 30, 2009
People come to Macau mainly for two reasons: To see the colonial buildings and for entertainment but mainly for entertainment. There are not a lot of malls in Macau. I think they have one or two. They have boutiques though. So if you’re into branded products, it is great to visit Macau… and of course if you didn’t mind the price as well.

People usually go to The Venetian for entertainment. The Venetian is a resort located near the Macau International airport.

How to go to The Venetian?

If you’re coming from Senado Square, you may take the bus no. 3. It will take you to the Fisherman’s Wharf, at the Jetty Point. It takes about 20 minutes to get there from Senado Square. From the Jetty Point, there are shuttle buses that go to The Venetian. Again, to go to The Venetian, you can either go to Cas1n0, or just walk around the Shoppe, which is the shopping mall.

Langkawi – Island Hopping

April 19, 2009

The highlight of our Langkawi trip was the island hopping we took. We thought it’s about time we do something more adventurous as a family. We went to see 3 beautiful islands.

The boy had problem with the speed at first. He said it was too fast. So we asked the “boat driver” to slower it down a bit. Good thing he complied.
We stopped at Dayang Bunting first. Dayang Bunting is an island that has a huge lake in the middle of it. We trekked to the lake again.

And had a fish spa at the side of the lake. And the fish? You won’t believe it… but they were cat fish. I thought only Gararupa fish are good for fish spa. Cat fish is equally good. But cat fish are more gentle. That means more ticklish too. I didn’t stay long there because it was extremely hot.

You could actually do a paddle canoe at dayang Bunting… but we didn’t do it.

The next stop was eagle feeding. It was an amazing sight to behold, seeing the eagle glide down to take their food (which was chicken skin).

The last stop was at Beras Basah Island resort. We spent almost two hours there just to enjoy the small island (or probably you can call it an isle) and the fine white sand beach. The kids enjoyed their time so much.

We paid 35RM each for this half a day island hopping. Schenker paid 25RM and Samantha had it for free.
