My first look at The Venetian Macao – faux Venice of the Far East
DSC00047. The Venetian Macao Resort-Hotel was AWESOME. It's a must-see when you're in the territory because it's the latest attraction there. Bigger than its counterpart in Las Vegas and sitting on 97 hectares of reclaimed land on the new Cotai Strip ( Cotai being a combination of Coloane and Taipa).

One day and one night in Hong Kong
It's funny how I went to Hong Kong because I had so badly wanted to check out this certain store, only to find it closed on the Sunday I was there. So I ended up strolling through the malls, something which am already tired of doing in Manila. It was an eye-opener seeing Hong Kong's precious Filipino domestic helpers camping out in different areas of the city. They laid out their mats on the ground talking, laughing and eating from their prepared lunch boxes. I wished I had stopped to talk to them but I had a ferry to catch and a mission to see as much as I can in ... Continue Reading...
