Hotel Taipa Square

... cannons and enjoying the breeze before heading back down into the main square for a well earned iced drink. Fully refreshed we walked across town to find what the locals called the 'red door' street. This street was once home to the local prostitutes hence the red doors that thesedays is home to a variety of shops. We really like Macau it has a great vibe and from all the casinos that we saw on the harbour front we can fully understand why it ...

I thought about all the people who walked in the same narrow and winding streets to visit the Cathedral of St. Paul's before me since the 17th century. Upon reaching the foot of the steps that led to the church, they must have felt as if they were looking up at Heaven after a long journey.<br><br>Now the stone façade and its 66 steps leading up to it, was all that is left after a fire ...

... qu'on aurait pu manger par terre tellement c'était propre) mais quand j'ai eu fini j'ai été fort étonnée que la chasse d'eau se mette en route toute seule ! Pareil pour le chauffe main les serviette ! puff...vraiment c'est du délire ! Je suis retournée sur mon siège au bar et j'ai demandé un Jack Daniels avec une pensée pour mon Parrain et j'ai regardé le spectacle des filles jusqu' environ 22H puis je suis rentrer écrire un peu toutes ces émotions et me couchée vers minuit

... a table with a live dealer.<br><br>I find a table with a few people and stand in an inconspicuous spot. I watch a few hands and then place some bets. I win a few hands and lose a couple. I am beginning to like this game. As I am gambling, I notice a grumbling, graveled voice to my left. I look up to see who it is. I have to do a double-take. The voice is coming from a lady that must have been 60 or so ...

... FREE BEER!!! YES! So the buffet is ok. It has a lot of what you would imagine at an Asian casino buffet &#8211; sushi, sashimi, rice, noodles, soup, tea, chicken feet, blood cake, and a bunch of other stuff I can&#8217;t remember. What I do remember is that they serve fallopian tubes and chicken heads. Yes you read that right. So, being the smart aleck that I am I put a chicken head on a plate and set it on the table. I think it ...

Museums can be very time consuming so make sure you visit only those the interests you. If you walk a little further the ...

Took an excursion out past Mong Kok today in search of one of the computer malls here in Hong Kong. I looked it up on the Internet and based on the description on the webpage it didn't seem like it was going to be difficult to find. Um...yaaaah...riiiiight. Stepping out of the MTR station and into the baking heat, it looked like our adventure was starting off pretty good. Of course, that would be ...

Yesterday I believed that the Peak was the only place that you could find some peace and quiet in Hong Kong - that was before my trip to Lamma, the 3rd largest of the Hong Kong islands. When you first get off the ferry from Central you are confronted with masses of bikes chained to the pier, probably from people going the other way, as Lamma have virtually no roads. The streets of Yung Shue Wan, one of the larger ...

... learned that 'snake wine' is actually fermented snake bile. I took a sip and nearly passed out. I don't know the alcohol percentage in it, but I'm going to say it's a conservative 80%...maybe 90%. It took me awhile to get through the glass. The people I was with were thankfully able to lend a hand, but none of us could take more than a small sip at a time. By the time we finally landed in Yangshu, I was feeling pretty good off of the snake wine. Yangshu had been dubbed in our ...
