After lunch, we promptly checked into our hotel. We hopped onto a shuttle bus to the ferry terminal, followed by another bus to Venetian. To get to the Venetian, we had to cross the bridge from main Macau to Taipa.
The Venetian was built as identical to Venice as possible. Sixian, who just recently came back from Venice, said that the real deal is much dirtier and uglier, but the original has a 'feel' that cannot be transferred here. Also, the water is brown in Venice, not blue like in the Venetian.
Wow, i love the ceiling, although it is not the original painting. These are things that i love, i think i'll love Italy.
This is at the entrance of the Venetian Hotel...anyway, the moment my boss saw this photo, her question to me was : WHY IS THE GUY 'WEARING A GREEN HAT'? ( in the Chinese context, it means that his wife is cheating on him ). Ahh...naughty, naughty~
This is the Venetian from afar, taken from Hard Rock Cafe right opposite. My friend had to buy a souvenir T-shirt from Hard Rock Cafe, but after walking there, we realised that the shop no longer carries the signature tee. Gah....
While killing time before our dinner reservation, we alighted from our shuttle bus at Sands. Right opposite Sands is Macau Fisherman's Wharf. It is a big theme-park, fringed by fake landmarks and European fake buildings. We walked through the wharf once and the time was just right to go for dinner.
They tried to make the buildings within the wharf colourful, with a Mediterranean feel. It was very pretty, although a little fake.
This is a nice building, totally like those i saw in Europe! Macau is a great place, if you adore Europe...kinda like a cheaper alternative.
This photo turned out a little blurry and eerie. On the cab during our ride to the restaurant, we passed by the Kun Iam statue situated at the pier, so i quickly snapped this photo.
