Hong Kong

I just came back from an amazing trip to Hong Kong and Macau in which i guess i did everything that was possible ............

1. Bungy jump from Macau tower : Easily the most amazing thing that i have done....... A bungy jump from 233m high making it the worlds highest bungy jump ........ Standing at the edge literally made my world go by........ The fear, adreanalin, excitement and the sheer pleasure at the end of it all made it one of the most memorable incidents of my life.

2. Gambling : The casinos of Macau are just amazing...... They can easily be compared to the ones at Las Vegas and the new ones that are coming are supposedly better than the ones at Vegas......
played the roulette and lost 1000 bucks...... made a couple of mistakes on not listening to people around me..... else i could have made quite a bit of money.... :(

3. Bellini Lounge : easily one of the best lounges i have even been...... A live band, an amazing DJ, hot babes, booze and the whole set up was just too good.... Had a great time dancing away to glory

4. Venetian : This was the resort that we stayed ......... The biggest resort in Macau..... and easily the biggest resort i had ever seen........ this hotel had 3000 rooms.... 3 swimming pools......... 4 casinos ........9 hole golf course ( on the 5th floor :O) and an entire setup just like Venice with the Gondola rides.......

5. Gondola ride : this was just too good........ there was this person who sang songs during the ride ....... asked me and my wife to kiss under every bridge and got us a great picture of the entire thing.... just amazing

6. Disney land : from Macau we went to Disney land which was really cute...... though everything there was for kids it was really well made.......every aspect of the hotel had some amount of disney in it.... it was a great experience

7. Paolin Monastery : A monastery built around a gaint bronze Buddha.......... huge and massive Buddha which is easily more than 100 feet tall.....A cable car ride to get there.......... made very well....... really a great place to visit....

8. Mong Kok : Ladies street as it is known as is a great place for shopping and great buys......... t shirts for 100 bucks were just too good........my better half had a ball shopping in the rain....

9. Ocean Park : another place in HK but dealing with more of sea creatures..... shark aquarium, atoll reef, dolphin show etc..... also my first roller coaster ride....... was good stuff.....

I did all this stuff and more and all in just 6 days....... Was a great experience....... and guess the memories would last for quite some time..
