Experiencing Macau

Another "must visit place". Last July, my niece went to Hong Kong for a much needed vacation. It's been a while since she last traveled abroad, so when she got the chance, without second thoughts she grabbed the opportunity. After learning from a friend that one of the local airline companies is having a promotion where they offer very low fare rates for future trips in all their international destinations, she booked a ticket right away. Excitement was all she felt especially since this was her first time to travel with a friend. Thus for safety, I even contacted a friend of mine who's now based there to give her a tour of the place. Luckily, my friend was the one who fetched her by the time she arrived and was also her tour guide at the same time. To maximize her travel, we suggested that she go to Macau even just for one day to have a quick tour there. On her third day in Hong Kong, indeed a side trip to Macau was realized. It was just an hour ferry ride going there. She narrated that after getting a ticket for the ferry, she and her companion lined up right away in the immigration. As they waited for their turn, she noticed a group of tourists ahead of them whose plastic passport covers are identical. It caught her attention since these are very attractive. After seeing it, she also thought of buying her own cover for protection and personalization purposes. After an hour, they arrived in Macau and the place is magnificent. Hotels offering tourists lots of activities that are very hard to resist are like mushrooms that are visible everywhere. The gondola ride and bungee jumping in one of the hotels there are must try activities. Since those are very scary, she ended up just watching the more adventurous tourists who tried it out. The experience was definitely amazing; hence, the thought of going to Macau one day is already included in my future plans.
