Macau Trip

Besides the grand and luxurious hotels and casinos, two things I like most about my trip to " The Las Vegas of Asia" are the Ruins of Saint Paul and Macau's Egg Tart. For sure there are so much more about Macau besides these two, but it was raining hard during that time and I have a flight back to Manila later that night.

From Hongkong,we travel for about an hour and thirty minutes via ferry. As soon as we cleared our way out of the immigration, we took a bus to Senado Square without any specific itinerary but to see the Ruins of St. Paul. It was after all one of the most touristy and and photograph icon in Macau. 

Wet look and peg namin :)

We snake around cobbled street of Senado Square visiting some shops and trying out free samples. By the time we reach the Ruins of St. Paul which is a walk from Senado Square, we're full. Lol.

We also visited The Venetian Macau and City of Dreams for some gambling window shopping. :)

Celebrating my Birthday at Hong Kong Disneyland

Pagbigyan na, its my Birthday Lol.

I just celebrated my 29th birthday at Hongkong Disneyland. Why? Because I maybe 29 years old but I will forever be a kids at heart and a Disney fan.  Too bad, I was not able to make an appointment at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique for a makeover. Lol. I've also read from other blog that you can get a birthday badge for a special treatment and magical surprises during your tour. I didn't get mine but the trip is still special because I had my first ever carousel ride. Lol. 

No one is too old for a carousel ride.

Here are the picture of the trip.

The Temple of the Reclining Buddha

Regarded as one of the oldest and largest temple in Bangkok, Wat Pho (The Temple of Reclining Buddha) or Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangkhalaram is a home to a 46 meters long and 15 meters high Reclining Buddha. Lying on his side head held up by his right hand, this gold-plated statue depicts Buddha's passing into Nirvana. 

The intricate details, such as the eyes, the carvings on the box shaped pillow and the feet which is highly ornate with mother of pearl is remarkable.

Besides the Reclining Buddha, Wat Pho Temple complex contains a large number of structures, such as an ubosot or ordination hall, viharns and chedi or stupa.

The complex is within walking distance from the Grand Palace. There is a 100 Baht entrance fee and since it is a temple the visitors are required to dress appropriately.
