Macau is a very nice place to visit because it is quite a modern place and there are many UNESCO listed heritage places to visit. We covered almost 80-90% of the must-see places on foot. We walked and walked into almost every corners and streets. Macau is not that big and one can practically walk from the east to the west in a matter of 2 hours…. non-stop. The weatheris not that hot as compared to Malaysia… around 22-24 degree Celcius. Most of the local people wears a jacket/sweater at any given time which I don’t understand. Ok…maybe because I walked and I felt hot but…… actually it is the airconditioning in shops/buildings which are very cold (ranging around 14-16 degree Celsius) that made the surrounding cold. And the shops dont have doors and cold air will be flowing out of the premises to the open air outside. I wonder why the people are pretending to be like in a cold country… their energy consumption carbon footprint must be very very high.

There are tons of churches and temples to see. Road signs are in chinese and portuguese…. somehow I wonder if the people really can speak/read portuguese. Our first welcome in Macau is the taxi driver at the airport. We hopped onto the taxi and showed him the email with our hotel booking and the address. He quickly replied he don’t read English. Oh shit… we dont read chinese either… so we calmed down and try to recall what the name of the hotel Ole London in chinese… “Lon ton chau tim, ng kuoi lah, hai ko koh San San chau tim kat lei”. The driver immediately nodded and replied he knows where’s the place. Once at the hotel reception, we quickly took some namecards of the hotel just in case we need to take a taxi again.

So the next few days were spent walking… going to all the UNESCO Heritage sites like Ruins of St Paul, Senado Square, Guia Fortress, Lou Kau Mansion, A-Ma Temple, Penha Church, Mong Ha Fortress, Lou Lim Ioc Garden, Dr. Sun Yat Sen Memorial Centre, Church of St. Lawrence, Jesuitas and the list goes on….the modern places such as Fisherman’s Wharf, Macau Tower etc… at night, we went visiting casinos…Grand Lisboa, MGM Grand, Venetian, Wynn, Sands etc… we did not gamble a single cent…we just go and see most of the big casinos… Grand Lisboa being the grandaddy of them all.

Eating is part of traveling and to enhance the cultural experience of a place. Forget all those traditional performances, folk dances etc…. eating is like heaven. One important note is that Portuguese food in Macau is for scaredy cat…. Malaccan portuguese food is anytime way better (think Portuguese grill fish/ikan bakar)… our ikan kembung (suk yi) is better than bacalhau. The African chicken I had there is like chicken curry (or maybe I was conned). Isn’t it supposed to be like Nando’s peri-peri chicken? However, their wanton mee, suikau mee is superb. Their porridge (congee) is good but to have it for breakfast is a bit out of place but thats the norm in Macau. When you’re in Rome, do like what the Romans do..

Shopping here is also nice… clothes are cheap due to the close proximity to China… rejected original Levi’s jeans are goin for about RM60.00…. the best thing to buy here is  jacket. You will regret if you don’t get a sweater or jacket in Macau. I wanted to buy shoes… but am afraid that it could be immitations.

So, overall… Macau is worth going – for the historical sites, churches, food, gambling, shopping… 4 days is sufficient to cover most of Macau. I’ll do Hong Kong in the near future.

We all had eaten crab for almost 80% of our life…but ever heard of pondan crab (transexual crab)? Ha… its a small crab… blueish green in colour and the size is more or less like flower crab. However, it has more meat and eggs than flower crab.

Its very nice to eat… the shell is not as hard as meat crab and you don’t need to use a hammer or plier to crack open the shells or its claws (kong).

There are about 5-6 crabs for a kilogram of pondan crab. Here it was cooked with salted egg yolk.

Here’s the bill for our dinner during the first day of CNY. They surcharged of 20%.

Yeah yeah yeah….. I went to Liverpool…. except to those two lame saddistic stadiums which one is in red and the other in blue. For all Beatles fan… it is a must to do a pilgrimage to Liverpool. Ok… we were there for the Beatlemania although I’m some 45 years late. I confess I’m a fan of The Beatles. Szer said she is also a fan.

The tour cost was about £12 per person. The tour starts at Albert Dock and ends at Mathew Street. The tour cover areas where the four band members – John, Paul George and Ringo stayed when they were kid. We also saw the places that was mentioned in their various wonderful songs – Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and Lime Street just to name a few. My Szer and I were the youngest among the “young” people in the bus. Some of the ladies grew up there seeing the Fab Four perfoming gigs before they became famous. They had since moved elsewhere and now they came back for a reunion and for the Beatles Magical Mystery tour. Some other guys came from as far as America to just to go on the tour.  Geez… the band may have disbanded many many years ago and 2 members were no more living….. but the mania still very much felt in Liverpool. Beatles is so timeless in Liverpool that it is part of their culture and proud history. Young and old people alike still move adn sing to the tunes like She Loves You, Please Mr Postman, Hard Days Night etc.

Beatles Story, Albert Dock. There’s even a Beatles-themed Starbuck coffeshop there.

This is where George Harrison use to stay when he was a kid. the house had long be sold to other people since  then.. and sometime I wonder how the current occupier can cope with the nuisance everyday that there will be a bunch of crazy people taking picture of their house. Ah well, I guess they must be very proud to have a connection or to be linked somewhat to the Beatles.

A closer view. We were early that day. The owner may be still sleeping at home at that time.

Ok… I forgot the name of this church..seriously. The tour guide however said they found a tomb of one “E. Rigby” in the church. Well, this must have been the mystery of the song Eleanor Rigby. Father Mckenzie writing a sermon? Anyone?!

This is the house of John Lennon. A semi-dee. And it has the blue-plate on it.

This is put up at the former house of famous people who had passed away for at least more that 20 years.

Ok. This is where Sir Paul McCartney used to stay… with his mom, Mary (of the “When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be… “ fame). The church were so fanatic of that song they made it into the collection of hymms in a book which you can find in the church. The guide told us it was here that many of the the famous songs were penned…. including Penny Lane and of course, Let It Be. See, Szer was so excited and smiling. “All you need is love… all you need is love… love is all you need…”. It may not be relevant in today’s materialistic world though. Kids, do not try this at home.

The guy on the right was our tour guide. A wacky and lovely chap… who is a hardcore Liverfool (read: Liverpool FC fan). He showed us photos of him with Sir Paul taken not long ago… telling how close is him to Sir Paul and all sorts of other Beatles related stories. He’s Liverpool local and the first thing he’d ask as his opening speech was ” Is there any Liverpool FC fan on the bus??” Well, of course he was obviously looking at the cap I was wearing, although it was a discreet brown coloured cap with a badge of the (Red) Devil… which I thought no one will recognise it is a MUFC cap… which I bought in Old Trafford the day before….. You just can bluff the eyes of the arch rivals. He kept on dissing Man Utd and praising the Liverfool team…. even Everton was not spared the diss.

There’s a Sgt Pepper signage on this disused building. Could it be the Sgt Pepper Lonely Heart Club?

Strawberry Fields….forever. It is the orphanage where John used to stay. Man, its a disused place. The local authority should keep it clean, restore and make it place nice for tourist alike. maybe they should turn the place into a museum. This can be a very important landmark in Liverpool.

Penny Lane. This is actually the Penny Lane in Liverpool. Not the one as describe in the song where there was a barber and so on… no shop is seen along this street.

The bus. It is so old school that the interior feels so 60s or 70s. Beatles music were played from the tour guide’s iPod.

The local authority replaced the signage countless time already. It is often stolen by pilgrims and Beatles fans alike as a memorabilia.

Back in town. They even name hotels to beatles related name….. like Hard Days Night Hotel. The Beatlemania is there to live forever…

Mathew Street… one of the most happening place in Liverpool where all the clubs, pubs and discos are located. It is here where the Beatles revolution started in a basement club, The Cavern Club.

There a names on the bricks, of those who performed here in the Cavern.

Marred by graffities.

Well, you dont see youngsters in these places doing hop hop. Haha. Those drinking at the bar are mostly twice my age.

The Magical Mystery Tour was something I wanted to do and at last I finally did it. The Beatles had became very much of the culture and history of Liverpool that will live one for generations to come. They even name the airport after John Lennon. I wonder if there is any other place where a rock band/music figure is so connected to the culture and history of their hometown. Perhaps, Elvis Presley and Memphis? The Selayang Connection Club Band and the town of Selayang? Hmm….

Hey guys… the photos of Venice are ready. Please feel free to view it here.

http://fotologue.jp/endroog#/9103505/9103965

I love Venice because it is the only place that there’s no car ….yes.. car. Without the engine & exhaust sound, honking and tyre screeching sound…. life was better and not so stressful. There’s also cheap wine where you bring your own bottle when you buy it at the shop and they sell by the litres. It was a shop flocked by the locals….. we came upon it out of luck while walking around the “local area” where local people stays.

We’ve seen a lot of Venice in movies (The Italian Job?), postcards, photos, magazines, etc…. I’ve been to the real Venice. A lot walking to do, you’ll get lost despite having a map…. that if you are not careful enough. My first encounter with Italy was Venice. The blokes are stylish…. the ladies are hot.

The day when we were there, Venice was full of tourists especially Chinese. I saw quite a number of them. Piazza San Marco is the landmark. Should you get lost, go to Piazza San Marco. Thats what the tour guide told us. Plenty of al-fresco cafes thereat the piazza. Street performers & pigeons everywhere.

Coming up very soon… Italy.

Innsbruck was the host city of Winter Olympics oof 1964 and 1976. We reached there in the evening after visiting Swarovski.

As the name suggest, this is a theater house. That Indian guy is Muhammad…. the only South African in our group. The other 2 ladies in jeans seen here are the Brazillians.

This is where we bought our lunch. The shops at the aldstadt are interesting.

Pork shop. Meat, sausages, ham and bacons.

Schnapps. There’s a shop where they allow schnapps tasting for free. Our tour group swarmed the shop and I dont know if any of them buy anything from the shop. Schnapps is liquor.

Food is expensive here and the most value for money food is italian food. Pizzerias are everywhere. The spaghetti I had here was great… one of the best cabonara I’ve ever had. Italian bierra. I’m not interested in schnapps. Also the al-fresco dining is great as the weather was cool and there’s no car moving around there. Sitting there and just lepak, watching people around is surely a relaxing experience.

Free flow drinking water. They also have it in Florence, Rome and Venice.

The famous Golden Roof in Innsbruck. Whats the significance? The Golden Roof (Goldenes Dachl) is a landmark in Innsbruck, Austria built in 1500. It was decorated with 2657 fire-gilded copper tiles for Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. The reliefs on the balcony show coats of arms, symbols and other figures in his life.

The Golden Roof was built by Archduke Friedrich IV in the early 15th century as the residence of the Tirolean sovereigns. The Golden Roof actually is the three-story balcony on the central plaza at the heart of the Old Town. It was constructed for Emperor Maximilian I to serve as a royal box where he could sit in luxury and enjoy tournaments in the square below. Completed at the dawn of the 16th century, the Golden Roof was built in honor of Maximilian’s second marriage, to Bianca Maria Sforza of Milan. Not wishing to alienate the allies gained by his first marriage, to Maria of Burgundy, he had an image of himself between the two women painted on his balcony.

Ross (slapping his face) and Noemi.

I just love the mountains and the sceneries.

Sill River (Wipptal).

Taken at the bridge.

A chinese restaurant up ahead….. the residential area road is going uphill.

A nice building. Szer is entering a second hand bookshop.

I don’t know if its part of the itinerary, but the visit to Swarovski (while heading to Innsbruck, Austria) was interesting… firstly for the scenery… the Tyrol region…. the Alps, the vast green fields and country side. We all love these postcard-picture/calendar scene and this is it. I would certainly want to spend a few days at these “kampung” (village) but too bad…. I dont think I’ll have such a chance.

The headquarter of the world reknown crystal manufacturer, Swarovski.

The eyecatching fountain…… the exhibition centre inside that “giant head”.

Crystals are everywhere… “Yes to all” is filled with tons of crystals.

One of the displays in the exhibition centre. We have to pay an entrance fee.

The jewelleries they sell here are cheap as compared to elsewhere in the world.

Guten morgen ! The breakfast at the hotel was great….. the best breakfast for the entire trip… where they have free flow of real german sausages….. thick fat thin small short long…. all sizes for your liking. I whack a whole plate full of sausages.

So after that, we checked out and headed straight into the city again. Munich at night was nice…. the buildings were lit up brightly…. weather was just nice.

The bus dropped us here and from there we ventured ourselves. Here I was standing on the bicycle lane risking my life to take this picture.

Ok… now where do we go? I dont know… anywhere… we’re tourist. No we’re traveller. No we’re tourist. Ok, whatever.

Kaiser Ludwig’s statue in the background. And a Mini….. haha. Was wearing the Mannschaft tshirt.

Englischer Garten…. travel guide book said this park is more expensive than Kensington Park or Hyde Park in London.

It was cold and foggy…

Teathiner Kirche

The entrance to the aldstadt… old city…. inner Munich.

Maggi… and their showcase and retail shop.

Munchener Detektive…. private investigator service

St. Peter’s Catholic Church, the oldest church in inner Munich.

I like the idea of putting mannequin at the window

Spielzeugmuseum, (Toy Museum) at Marienplatz

Some of the toys displayed

The Glockenspiel….. everyone was waiting for it to come to life at 11.00am. Munich is world famous for this structure.

The clockwork is actually boring….

Guten tag. Alright….. here’s the long overdue post. We reached Munich in the evening after visiting Dachau. Checked into a nice brand new hotel…. Azimut.

We were supposed to stay in the hotel next to azimut but there was some last-minute glitches and contiki switched the hotel for us. Well, we were glad as the hotel is nicer, cleaner and its new. Maybe it just opened recently.

A bunch of italians occupied the hotel that nite. Bayern Munich vs Fiorentina for Champions League that night.

So, the first stop in town…. Glockenspiel. Everyone was hungry but Richie insist that we see it first. Thats the main attraction in the centre of Munich. This is the best nite shot we’ve got. After that, we headed straight to the best beer garden in the world…. Hofbrauhaus.

From left: Amanda (partially covered), myself, the senior American couple, Gary and Steven. Seen here in the picture on the next table is Niki and Shanell. I love this beer. By the way, give the jolly Steven a vote. He’s a nice guy.

The lady is Maria. Szer took the pictures.

My favourite beer. Now I prefer this to Paulaner.

Together with german sausages…. it was great dinner.

Germans take their beer very seriously. They even have their personal stein locked up at the beer hall so that they can used it when they come here for a drink. Behind these steins was a bunch of fellow tour mates with our tour manager, Richie. He was later kicked out by bouncers immediately after bringing down his underwear let alone his trousers. They were piss drunk.

After dinner, szer and I separated from the rest and we explored the city on our own.

Just some random pictures…

One thing I realised is that europeans like to put statue on the corner edge of buildings.

Passed by a pub and a bunch of local Bayern Munich fans was watching the game. Just as I stood into the crowd to check the score, Munich scored their 3rd goal against Fiorentina. Here I was celebrating with the locals with both my hands up in the air…

The taste of Paulaner there is different from the one we got here in Deutsches Haus and Bavarian Bierhaus, two of the more famous german food joint.

The dream of every football fan is to visit the home ground of their favourite team. It was so kind of Uncle Robert… a hardcore Aston Villa fan… to take us to the home of their archrival. Well, for appreciation of his effort, I’ve agreed that he take us to Villa Park in Birmingham, the home ground of the strongest team in the Midlands to catch a glimpse of their stadium. I’m not going to show the world the picture I took at Villa Park. Haha.

So… from there, we went to Manchester….the United part of it only though.

The legend.

The megastore is HUGE. Well, when you are a club as big as this, your cash cow is merchandise.

Frankly speaking, I dislike the No. 7 in the background poster. He’d better off being in Hollywood.

Fergie’s achievement in his career.

The famous Stretfod End. It was named after the nearby town, Stretfod, that the West Stand is facing.

The name that needs no introduction.

My lovely photographer and I at the south-east corner of the stadium. The pitch look very near and small as opposed to what you see in TV.

The clock is frozen in time.

South Stand is now also known as Munich Tunnel since Feb 2008… to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Munich tragedy….

The International Honours Board. What happened to Johan’s son, Jordi?

Q: Platini or Zidane?
A: Cantona !

The captains.

A friend asked me to get him a jersey exactly the same as this…. with Giggs 11 on the back minus the EPL/Champions League sleeve badge. The jersey £43, “Giggs” £7 and “11″ is also £7. Altogether £57.

Coming out from the tunnel.

I touched the grass. Luckily the tour guide did not see me sitting on the curb for this pose let alone touching the grass. I would’ve been prosecuted by the club.

The United Trinity – Best Law Charlton.

After the tour, we received a certificate. It was a memorable visit. From Manchester, we went off to Liverpool for a night after that.  Thanks to Uncle Robert to drive us all the way to Liverpool to drop us there.

The word “Dachau” would send shiver down the spine of those living during that time of the great conflict.

Being a fan of WWII history, my wish of visiting a concentration camp came true…. thanks to Richie and Antonio, the Contiki tour managers. If not for them, I would’ve had difficulties finding the way to the camp from Munich and with limited time. The study of WWII history would not be complete if you have never visit such an inhumane place. Other bigger and more established camps such as Auschwitz and Mathausen would be more educative to visit but Dachau is the prototype for other concentration camps that followed. This is where it all started.

Ok, for more info, read here.

Tablet at the main entrance dedicated to the liberators of the camp. Go and watch Band of Brothers…

The main entrance of the camp. There’s a small river in front of it.

“Arbeit Macht Frei”, the word that gave millions of people nightmares and false hope. It means work will set you free.

Near the entrance of the museum.

One of the vast exhibits in the museum.

The main courtyard.

This is where rows of prisoner barracks once stood.

The prisoner bunks.

Prisoner sinks.

Prisoner toilet.

“Never again”.

We reached London in the evening and it was cold. To me it was very cold… and thats why I chose this time of the year to go. Just sick of the hot weather we have here.

Travel post cannot do without touristy photo such as this taken at Piccadilly Circus. That structure may be one the most photographed structure of its kind. I need not elaborate much of this place as it is so famous that you may have heard about it. The nearby Regent Street is a shoping haven.

Went to Chinatown for lunch… KL hokkien mee. Eh… the food is comparable to some of the famous hokkien mee you can get in KL. Granny was so happy to see Chinatown. After lunch, went to places around there…. Trafalgar Square, National Portrait Gallery, Covent Garden Market, and places around there. I just couldn’t remember all the names.

Roads in London are very narrow even for many main roads.

In the evening, went to Contiki’s basement office near Russell Square for a briefing and check-in for the trip… we’re going to Europe the next morning. 

After the briefing, we walked around looking for the tube station but was made walking around by a man selling bus ticket at the Euston bus station. Arrgh… there’s another tube station, but the guy showed us to Euston Square just down the road. We didn’t know…. and walked…. then we looked at the map again and felt something is wrong. Turned back and we found the station we wanted to go is just right behind the bugger’s office. Arrgh. He’s from africa anyway.

When Szer was taking this a picture of me at the subway, this bloke just jumped in, standing next to me. I was shocked at first and thought someone gonna rob me. Then when i see him in his friar robe, I know he just wanna have fun. A bunch of his gang were heading for some play I’d guess.

And so, we headed home and packed our luggage that nite for Europe. By the way, I think i should invest in a good tripod so that next time when we go holiday, there will be more pictures of both of us together. For now, mostly are single person pictures.

The night flight was rather bumpy and cold due to the rain. When we reached Suvanarbhumi Airport, it was cold and the bus ride to the terminal was quite scary. A busload of people heading to i-dont-know-where. The distance could have been like Selayang Mall to Kepong Jusco. Yeah, it was that far.

Luckily the hotel we booked was near the one of the main nightspot in Bangkok, Nana. After checking in at midnite, the night was spent drinking a bit and slept early. Wong reached Bkk the next morning.

Come morning, went for the complimentary breakfast by the hotel… Omni Tower serviced apartment. Breakfast consist of just two slices of bread, two sunnyside-up (ho pau tan), butter and jam. A glass of coffee and orange juice. Its not a buffet breakfast and it was in a small conference room.

When Wong reached, we went out for breakfast again. Wong took us to a roadside stall where they sell stewed pork, intestine and other stuffs. Something like lou chi yuk. They all had their breakfast while Sean and I went looking for supermarket to buy mineral water and Oreo biscuits. Saw some imported new Guiness Stout in can which can be shaken. I forgot its name. I REGRETTED it for life that I didn’t buy it despite carrying a 280 baht price tag. Read on if you wanna know why.

After breakfast, we went to the Grand Palace for sightseeing. Wong, who has been there regularly for work and family trips, was our tour guide. Btw, always adhere to the no-smoking policy in buildings and certain public places.

Yea Chern took this photo.

There were many local and foreign tourists buying tickets and here’s the way leading to the entrance of the tour. The schoolgirls in uniform as you can see in this pic, asked us in Mandarin if we’re Chinese. Wong answered in Mandarin telling them we’re Japanese and the girls walked off. Man, we’re not paedos.

I just love the vast murals.

Ng touched the wall….. catch him !!!

Temple of the Emerald Buddha. We saw the Buddha in rainy season attire.

So hot we have to buy overpriced tasteless fruit juice to quench our thirst.

Saw some statues of men of ancient China. The Thais originated from China anyway I’d guess.

The Palace with mixed French and Thai architecture.

I wish my house can have the same colourful roof as that in the background.

Baris… baris sediap. Jangan senang diri. The royal guard must have wanted to stab tourists with the bayonet who make fun of them by doing all kinds of poses next to them. The guards are emotionless. Well, thats the protocol.

Ok, after we’re done at The Grand Palace, we went to Pratunam Market. The taxi driver who took us there was an ex Thai boxer. He suffered an accident to the leg. He’s now a coach and he showed us muay thai training ground as we pass by along the way to Pratunam.

The guys wanted to shop for themselves and the ladies at home. This is the beginning of the shopping madness.

After shopping at Pratunam, we went to this post shopping mall for dinner. Central Plaza or something, I forgot the name.

We skipped lunch and we certainly needed dinner after walking the whole day. This is taken at a Thai restaurant, Banana Beach Restaurant, while waiting tom yum and other authentic Thai dishes to be served.

After dinner, accompanied my best buddy for a fag. I smoke when I want to.

Ng, Ken and myself were looking at the nice bags from outside as we thought it was expensive as Sean was so busy browsing the shop. Then Wong called Ng to ask us to go and see the cheap bags. At first we dont believe… but seeing is believing.

Ended up, everyone bought bags for the ladies back home. So cheap you cannot say you’re not buying any of it.

While waiting for Ng to do his big business, we sat here for a rest and look at the stuffs we’ve bought.

The lady on the phone turned away as we were talking too loud. Yea Chern caught sms’ing his wife to tell her he bought bags for her. Geez.

Fountains. We were heading towards the BTS station. Their train service is very efficient.

Yet another shopping centre, Erawan. Ng, overlooking the shrine of 4-faced Buddha.

Every building have a nice shrine for the 4-faced Buddha. Wong said this is the most famous shrine in downtown Bangkok.

After getting back to our apartment for shower and a short rest, we headed out to Nana entertainment centre (a renowned sex mall as stated in some websites)…. which is just walking distance to the place we’re staying. Saw some pole dancing show and ladyboys show. Sometime its hard to distinguish who is real and who is fake. When the place closed at 2am, went back to apartment to drink and chatted as there’s a crisis happening to one of the buddy. Im not gonna elaborate more about it.

Btw, I can’t find any Guiness Stout in Bangkok. 7-11 doesn’t have it, mini market, restaurants and pubs also don’t have it. When I asked the people do they serve Guiness Stout, they dont know what the hell is it and gave me a strange look. They just dont know what the fuck is Guiness Stout. I dont mind if they have only Royal Stout or any other brand…. I needed stout but… they just dont know what is stout. Arrgh. I wanted to shout “Where the fuck can I get Guiness Stout in Bangkok???!!”

Stay tuned for the Day 2 happenings.

Bangkok is great !

Went to the hot spring while on the way to Ipoh the other day. Its a nice place. They have chalets there and run by Federal Hotel Group. Landscape in clean. There’s even a giant octopus at the resort. The place is quite a nice place for a weekend trip but to go out to the nearest town is quite far away. But if you plan to spend the whole weekend in one place, this should be a nice place. You can picnic, play water and go for massage. I love putting my feet into hot water. It kills all the germs that linger between your toes.

I’m standing on water.

How to get there? You take the PLUS highway and exit at Sungkai interchange. You will see signboards leading you to Sungai Klah Hot Spring. You’ll pass by a lot of Felda oil palm plantations before you reach the place.

I have more pictures in my Gimping Photos under the CNY2008 directory.
