Day 1 @ Macau [Part 3/3] -- Ruins of St. Paul > Praia Grande at night

Ruins of St. PaulRuins of St. Paul / St. Paul's museum / 炮台山 (Fortress Hill)Overview of Macau
Macau is mainly comprises of low-rise houses in which majority still stays in its original design.
It looks kinda like a old but cozy small neighbourhood town from above.I like this photo as it shows winter is here (the barren trees in the background).
This is certainly something that you won't get from Singapore I supposed...lolCasino Royale! :DD
Old Lisboa Hotel at night (and the new Lisboa is right behind it)
Wynn Hotel
This hotel targets the upper class crowd with its superior interior design and branded shops...one of the strong rivalry of Stanley Ho's casinoes.
Musical fountain performance! Macau is like a miniature version of Las Vegas...a city that never sleeps...lol

Macao-Taipa Bridge at night and Macau Tower (on the right)

Macau night life is vibrant and really colourful. Along the bridge people are allowed to play with fireworks in Macau. You can really see fireworks almost every now and then.

The experience at the casino is very shocking. Some of the people at the casino play like there is no tomorrow. I never could understand how people are willing to place thousands of dollars on a single bet. I wonder if they know the tokens can be exchanged for real cash when they play the game. It feels like they are just tokens to them. Super high risk takers...

Dad and I play a little with no intention to take back the money we used. So we win a little and lose it back after a few rounds. Nevertheless it was fun. To me, it is all right to go casino and play as long as your mindset is not set to earn money from gambling. Treat it as a game for fun ONCE IN A WHILE ya? ;)
