Trip to Macau

Friday, we took a trip to Macau on the Turbo Jet, It was really cool, and it took about an hour to get over there. Macau is another East meet West country. It is an formal Portuguese colony, from the mid 15th century to 1999.

In 1557 Macau was rented to Portugal by the Chinese empire as a trading port. The Portuguese administered the city under Chinese authority and sovereignty until 1887, when Macau became a colony of the Portuguese empire.

Symphony of Lights Show

On our way to Causeway bay, we decided to watch the Symphony of Lights show in Tsim Sha Tsui.

 Afterwards, we caught a ferry to Hong Kong Island.

 In the area of Causeway bay, we went to a popular desert spot, Yee Shun Milk Company. They make steammed milk puddings.

I did not get the chance to do my own recording of the Symphony of Lights, but below is a video I found of the show:

Two other classmates and I decided to take a trip to Central on the MTR. Our assignment was to get a customer profile (find women that live the lifestyle of the clothes)

Central is just like NYC. The district is very fast paced, people dress really nice, and full of luxuries
