Macau Trip - Day 1 Zhuhai

Finally the day came where we throw our work behind and depart for our long awaited trip.
This is the first time i travel with Sheryl, Xiao Ying, Fion and Kwek.
initially Cyn was supposed to join us, but somehow she didnt make it for the trip.
Anyway, the total amount spend on air tickets plus accomodation for both Zhu hai and Macau only cost less than $300 for a 3 night stay! its so much cheaper than travelling to Thailand or even nearby resort.

We met for lunch in T1 transit.

Landed in Macau Airport, we checked the map to Zhuhai custom.

Crossing over to Zhuhai the very minute we touched down.
Its really human traffic here! Everyone just moved like they were on invisible travellator.

the famous shopping mall right infront of the custom. The place for imitations!

We finally settle our dinner in a chinese restaurant.
P1050522

This is nice!
P1050523

This tasted awful!
P1050534

We saw this takopochi along our way to the restaurant. A box of 5 tako balls cost around RMB 4. Its super cheap!
P1050535

Checking into our hotel, about 10mins walk from the custom.
P1050539

Very high tech switch system

Our Room!

We were guessing the hotels in Zhuhai are more or less a Sex hotel looking at the amount of "products" in our toilet!
P1050553

There is a 24Hr KFC right outside our hotel!
P1050556

Some street shots along the way to the underground mall

And finally reaching the Mall!
The Mall basically looks like golden mile, and its like some major pasar malam!

XY All ready for a picture!
P1050568

P1050567

Look Sleazy Right! Its all Manicure shops la...
P1050569

You get to see tech stuff like these all over the places! N you will have to bargain and bargain!
P1050572

We bought a whole lot of iphone chargers and batteries! Its super cheap!
P1050576

The next morning, we went for dim sum at Charming Hotel, recommended by XY's mum.
Its a 5 mins walk from our hotel and we reached there around 10 plus, and its already pack with lots of people.
But we managed to get a table within 20mins of waiting time.

Before food was served!

Some pictures of the dim sum we ordered...frankly speaking, I think our imperial treasure and crystal jade is around the same standard as this restaurant and its not very cheap to dine here as well.

The chicken feet are nice thou!

So after breakfast, we went for one last round of shopping!
This is something interesting that i saw at the mall.

There is a small stall selling pets but apparently, he store them in really tiny cages.
P1050638

Although the cages are small, this stall owner really take good care of them, i cant even spot any dirt in the cages or smell any odour from there. He feed them food and water.

We left Zhuhai for Macau since XY needs to return to Singapore on an AM flight, we bring her to explore part of Macau so she wont really miss much of the itinery. Partly also there wasnt much things to do in Zhuhai too.
