I'm saying this because we went on a day trip (no, make it a two-hour trip) to Macau and visited two landmarks: The Venetian Macau and Holiday Inn Macau.

Yes, just that. Just the hotels.
Sure, I enjoyed the glitter and glamour of those hotels. But personally, I want to explore more of that. I want to eat egg tarts. I want to dine at the dai pai dongs. I want to sit around the Senado Square. I want to admire the ruins at Sao Paolo.
But I did not. Even if I want to.
"Kasi walang perang pang-libot."
"Papa-tatak lang ng passport na Macau."
Oh, the ever-stringent travelers.
And don't ever get me started at why I don't go my own way and head to the Portuguese part of Macau. It's a long story that stems way past this topic of traveling in Hong Kong and Macau.
But as I said in my previous post, enjoy the rest of the trip. And enjoy I did, amid the grumping inside. :D

| Soy-braised chicken and sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaves. Pretty fancy for a breakfast meal, IMO |

| For HKD5, I wrote my wish for the Chinese New Year and hung it on this tree just outside The Venetian. |
