02 Feb to 05 Feb. Trip with aunts, uncles and cousins to Zhu Hai (珠海), China and Macau. Took the inaugural flight from Singapore to Macau via Jetstar Airways? Flight attendant from Japan was really a disaster. His English I mean. Couldn't make sense what he was talking. "Budget Airline What" some would say, but these people are the one who're going to help you passengers to evacuate in the case of an emergency. How to when he can't even communicate with the passengers?!
Overall, the trip was urm..... rushed. nothing really much to see. Just an experience. Just a little comment or two. Culture in China really is.... from traffic culture to social culture... though this wasn't my first time in china, but its still really an eye opener.
Traffic was really terrible. Motorist doesn't abide by the traffic laws... don't think there exist... and one will ponder how those motorist get their license? Does it exist at all? Everyone just horn and horn... very irritating... and this "phenomena" is getting its way into tiny Singapore. Horn-Horn-Horn.
Smoking can be considered a past-time in China. Almost everyone smokes. And worse still, everywhere! Even inside an enclosed area like the shopping center. There are even litter bins with signs on it stating "No Smoking" of "严X禁烟", but people still smoke around it! and around the shopping center. Don't think they really understand....
Macau is really a paradise for avid gamblers. There are 3 islands according to the "guide", and the one we're on has 28 casinos. Can you imagine that? Went to a couple of them. Actually, its owned by the same company, "Sands Casino". According to the "guide", Sands built its casino, hoping to recoup everything by 3 years, but they 原本代利 in 8 months. How wonderful can that be? The owner of Sands Casino was so frustrated that the casino has such a small capacity (163000 Square foot), that he built another casino "Venetian".
Think there's a lot more than casinos in Macau, like the famed Portuguese Egg Tarts. People there speaks mainly Cantonese, and they weigh in pounds, not kg. If time permits, I would like to return to Macau and visit the places of attractions as well as the local food.
