Macau in October

First we visited the casinos in Macau island. The famous ones are the Grand Lisboa, Sands, Star World and Wynn. It is true that Macau is the city that never sleeps. You can catch live concerts and cabaret style performances at regular intervals in all the large casinos while gambling away your fortune.

 

 

 

 

  

 Sampling various types of Chinese tea at the Macau Tea Centre in Senado Square.

Visited the famous ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral. Fortunately the weather was not so hot. We bought loads of almond cookies as gifts for friends.

The interior of the newest casino, The Galaxy over in Taipa. Very impressive!

Inside the Venetian. The roof of this section is painted like the sky so the weather is "perfect" all the time.

The main lobby is painted in gold to signify wealth and good luck to the gamblers.

  

 

We also enjoyed visiting the places frequented by the locals like the Red Market. I found out that people prefer to buy live fishes to take home to cook. We enjoyed rice porridge sold in this shop accompanied by a plate of roast pork. I bought several kilos of Chinese sausages to take home in preparation for the Chinese New Year.
