Macau & HK 5 Days Trip

I was on 30 days Landing Visa into Taiwan and that's to say I have to leave every 30 days.  So I have planned a few trips for this purpose.  The first one is Macau and HK.  I actually was planning for Angkor Wat but the direct flight schedule can not fit into our plan.  Therefore, we switch to Macau and HK as he needs to visit HK to arrange some banking stuff.  

We spend the first 2 days in Macau as I want to see Cirque Du Soleil's performance - ZAiA.  They actually have it now in Taiwan but the ticket is quite expensive and are almost sold out already. Because of this, we stayed at Venetian.  The room is really quite nice but the whole hotel/resort is too big and the managment isn't good enough to handle the huge demand.  Besies, there are a lot of PRC visitors and that makes that place like a market instead of a 5 star hotel.

Then we visited Macau Island itself to see the historical site Ruins of St. Paul's.  It's really a tourist site as there are tons of people around.  To be frank, I think Macau is really for Casino.  I might not have 2nd trip there soon unless there are some special arrangment. 

One of the important missions this trip is to get my Visitor Visa so that I don't have to be bond by the 30 days.  It's the same place that I got my working visa last time and therefore it's not easy for me.  Besides, we also spend 3 days on Hong Kong Island last trip and I've got to know the place quite well.  I requsted for Multiple Entry and valid for180 days.  Surprisingly, it's free of charge and they granted me 1 year.  It's actually 60 days for every entry but I can actually extend twice which makes up of 180 days.  Taiwan government is really friendly for people like us. : )

After that, I finaly got the chance to visit Pininsula Hotel for their famous Afternoon Tea. The portion is really for 2 people though I ordered the one for One person.  I just want to try the Traditional English Afternoon Tea.  I actually arrived about 30 minutes earlier and just sit down.  If not, I got to queue up for about 20 minutes as there are people starting to line up around 1:45pm.  The food isn't so fantastic and it's quite noisy because of the crowd.  However, it's a good expenrience to really try something which is recommended for long. 

The other important mission is to meet up with all my OLD Friends.  I haven't met up with Ceci after I left Singapore 2 years ago.  We had spend a good time together as Housemates.  We are just like family especially when we both are alone overseas.  It's realy great to know that she is going well also and really great to meet up with my whole gang in Hong Kong.  Thank you my Sis!!
