2017 June: Hong Kong: Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha)

If you can skip month of June in Hong Kong, as most of the attractions are under maintenance, do so.

During our visit, Ngong Ping 360 cable car was under maintenance. You can take New Lantao Bus No. 23 from temporary bus station in City Gate Outlets.  What's the positive side of it?  Taking bus will only cost you 17.20HKD/weekday or 27HKD/weekend per way compared to 185 HKD/standard (1110 PHP) to 240 HKD/roundtrip (1440 PHP, 2017). (Pricing and Packages in Ngong Ping)

2017 June: Hong Kong: Disneyland

After 8 years, this will be my third visit at Disneyland.  New to my eyes are the lands of Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Point in Disneyland Hong Kong.  For anyone, how can we skip the ever amazing performance of Lion King.

2017 June: Hong Kong Monetary Authority

An amazing art piece on this floor, is the horizon displayed...

2017 June: Macau: Casino - Gaming Industry

The day after what happened in Resorts World Manila, is when we are flying in to Macau.  Still with heavy heart to the wounded and lost, this is a reminder to stay guarded and alert whenever or wherever you are visiting casinos, malls or other places.  

Some believe that these are only for betting place lovers or for gambling den, well in fact a reality.  But this is also for those who just simply want to enjoy capturing moments on flashing lights.

2017 June: Macau: Foodstuff

Egg Tart Shop
Location: nearby stores in St. Paul Ruins
Food: egg tart

Personal Preference: 7 out of 10. Enjoy the sight while eating this famous sweet snack in the streets of Macau.  In case you like to taste the version from Lord Stow, why not visit the original store in Coloane (G/F C Houston Court 21 Largo do Matadouro, Coloane Village, Macau).

Value: Affordable 8 MOP (52 PHP, 2017)

Price: Expensive (PHP 10,652.78 (Included: Hotel tax 15%, 1 Room, 2 Nights)).  Comparing to other countries, this is expensive for 2 nights.  However, considering that the country has many 4-5 star casino hotel rooms, this “motel” is way much cheaper.  You read it right, it is considered as “hotel” in agoda.com, but their map guide says “motel”.
