HONEYMOON IN THREE COUNTRIES

Monday, June 24, 2013

J and I were psyched for our honeymoon trip. We both love to travel and it was our first time to travel together abroad. We decided to have our honeymoon in three places: HONGKONG, MACAU and SINGAPORE.



HONGKONG




We are a total geeks. We spent out honeymoon in a Science Museum, hehe. We also did a lot of crazy poses at the Avenue for the Stars and hang out for a bit of fresh air at Victoria Harbor.



We did a bit of window night shopping at Temple Street and Mongkok Market. We sampled the HongKong cuisine. Some we like, some we will never try again, ever, hahaha!


We went to Central and rode the tram to The Peak. We love it there. We also visited the Madame Taussauds' Wax Museum. We had so much fun there. I am so happy to be sitting beside my idol, Audrey Hepburn, even if she was just made up of wax, hehe.

Of course, even with a limited time, we dropped by Disneyland. Too bad, our flight was on the same day we went to Disney so we hurried to the airport and we weren't able to catch the fireworks. We will be back, HongKong Disneyland! We promise!



MACAU


Macau is just a ferry-ride away from HongKong. J and I visited this Asian mini-Las Vegas even on a rainy day.



Visiting and exploring the different casinos and hotels in Macau was cool. We get to transfer from one casino to another with the free shuttle buses of the hotel, not to mention free mineral waters in every hotel. People in Macau gives  away a lot of free stuff, hehe. Our favourite casinos are Venetian, the new Galaxy and The City of Dreams with their digital mermaids swimming about.


We give the Macau food with its Portuguese influence a four-thumbs up. We love their food. We love their egg tarts, their bakwa and other yummy dishes. If only we can bring a box load of egg tarts and it won't get spoiled.


Getting to know the history and culture of Macau, one must definitely visit Senado Square, The Ruins and The Mount Fortress. I love visiting these spots because it is what made me fell in love with Macau before, and of course the area near the ruins where vendors would shove free bakwa on our faces. Hahaha! I love it!


SINGAPORE

The last leg of our Asian honeymoon was in Singapore. My hubby was accompanying me back to the place where I am currently residing because of work. It was nice to walk the streets and the places I know in Singapore having him beside me. 


Singapore is a shopping city, so many malls and all the signature brands are crawling in this city. We took a stroll in the busy shopping center of Singapore: Orchard. I also made J try my fave Singaporean foods: chicken rice, prawn mee,, bbq chicken wings, etc.


By nightfall, we went to Marina Bay to see the wonderful lights that illuminates this Lion City. We also caught a bit of the nightly water fountain show on the decks of Marina Bay Sands.

Last but not the least, we have to experience the Universal Studios together. And it was awesomely-great! It was amazing to be trying all the rides, scary or not scary, with someone beside you who you know will be there for you in times when it may be scary in life or not. We had a jolly good time.



I find the Mummy ride still scary but since I am with J so I didn't mind. But we both find the Cylon roller coaster to be kick-ass! One more time? Yeah!


Can't wait for more travel adventures with my hubby.... :)
