Macau Part III: Fisherman’s Wharf
I undoubtedly declare this as my favourite place in Macau.
Basically a themed attraction, with alfresco dining, shopping, tram rides, and various attractions such as a miniature Roman Colosseum, a little ‘volcano’ which you can climb up to (which I had to miss since I still wasn’t well enough to maneuver stairs and steep slopes) and a miniature ‘Tang Dynasty’ Chinese cultural themed city.
Quaint, colourful buildings lined the streets of Fisherman’s Wharf and natually, my DSLR (Mickey) went click, click, click.
Walked and walked and walked, until I got tired (and the symptoms of my condition started appearing again so we resorted to taking the tram so that we could continue viewing the place).
I think I took the most pictures there, after our hotel, at least. (I will talk about our hotel/resort in Macau Part IV.)
The place is very different when you go there at night - instead of seeing the bright, colourful buildings, you see the streets and walkways lighted up … for Halloween. (It was about a week before Halloween when I was there.)
The buildings are also brightly lit too - which meant that I got the chance to practice night photography with Mickey.
The highlight when I was there?
Employees dressed as ghosts and goblins roaming the place and practically scaring the life out of the several groups of girls milling around the place. (Which resulted in them screaming my ears off.)
I think the ghosts and goblins were pissed off with me though because they just couldn’t scare me no matter how they tried. (I was too engrossed with Mickey!)
And … marking the return of the comic strip which everyone seemed to like! ;)

Meanwhile, I’ve uploaded pictures from the entire trip for your viewing pleasure. Proper photography will be added into the ‘Viewfinder’ collection later on.
Stay tuned for Macau Part IV! ;)

That sounds like it was a lovely visit. Now I’m off to look at your pictures!
Mmmm…food. Congee, buns and other stuff which I don’t know how to say in English. :P
Haha. I actually feel sorry for the ghost and goblins. they’ve been made fools of. Ah well, least you got some nice pictures, which I will look at later.
