Episode of World Heritage walking in Macau

After walking up "Calçada do Tronco Velho [Chinese: 東方斜巷]" street, Tomo&Chouchou reached St. Augustine's square [Chinese: 崗頂前地]. There were bright buildings and Portuguese stone pavement. It was beautiful square with european taste. There were several european style buildings around the square. Firstly, we found the emerald-color building. It was Igreja e Seminário de São José [Chinese: 聖若瑟修道院小堂]. We thought it was St.Joseph's Seminary and Church [Chinese: 聖約瑟修道院及聖堂]. But it looked different. It looked prohibited to enter so we didn't enter. Next, we found the orange building. It was Sir Robert Ho Tung Library [Chinese: 何東圖書館]. It didn't look like a library from the entrance because of gorgeous appearance. We entered the library. There was the beautiful garden in the entrance. There was the corridor to go to the main building. We followed the corridor, then we found the long stairs on the left. The architecture was very modern and beautiful. The long stairs and the passage connecting two buildings attracted us a lot. There was the short stairs to go to the courtyard. The courtyard was also beautiful and relaxing. The library had calm and peaceful atmosphere. If we live in Macau, we would come to Sir Robert Ho Tung Library so often. We could be away from the noisy sound and crowds. When we go to the exit, we could take a nice shot of the entrance. The entrance looked different to see from the front and back. After enjoying the library, we went to St. Augustine's Church. It was the yellow church. The yellow wall and emerald ceilling was pretty. It had Portuguese taste. The statue of Jesus Christ was in front of the big marble altar. It was worth to see the main big altar. We could also find the statue of Maria in the church. We went out from the church, then we found the emerald building diagnally to the left. It was the Dom Pedro V Theatre. It was the theater with beautiful columns. There was big banyan tree in front of the theatre. We felt the energy from the banyan tree. We wanted to enter but it was unfortunately closed. We continued to walk on Rua de S. Lourenço [Chinese: 風順堂街] until St. Lawrence's Church.

FYI, when we went to St. Augustine's Church, the statue of Christ was in front of the main altar. At that time, we thought it was normal. But while searching information about St. Augustine's Church for this blog, we found out it was not normal. Probably we suppose that the statue of Christ was prepared for the "Procession of Our Lord of Passos" event. 


Tomo&Chouchou's advice and impressions

St. Augustine's Square [Largo di Santo Agostinho] was must-visit place. Many attractive colonial buildings were gathered in this square. It was full of Portuguese atmosphere. We sometimes forgot that we were in Asia. St. Augustine's Square was accessible on foot from Senado Square. If you don't have enough time to look around all UNESCO world heritage sites in Macau, we recommend to visit St. Augustine's Square at least.

Episode of World Heritage Walking in Macau

There are 30 UNESCO World Heritage spots in Macau Peninsula. It is possible to visit all spots on foot in a day. It's about 2 km. 

Tomo&Chouchou like world heritage. Actually it was the main reason to visit Macau this time. We wanted to see the colonial remaining and learn history.

At first, we decided to go to tourist information in the Senado Square. We asked where the bus stop was just in case. Then we started to walk from the Senado square. 

When Tomo&Chouchou went to Macau, it was the end of Chinese New Year. There seemed to be the decoration of Chinese New Year in the Senado Square. They were removing the decorations in the morning. The pedestrian street from the Senado square to St. Dominic's square was still decorated in the morning. Tomo&Chouchou really expected to see the Senado square. We had kind of Portuguese image before coming. Therefore it was a little bit different atmosphere that we expected because of Chinese decoration. Anyway it was special Senado square.

There was Leal Senado (Royal Senate or Municipal Affairs Bureau) in front of the Senado Square. Tomo&Chouchou visited there just before closing at night the day before. There were Chinese New Year's decorations inside and outside of Leal Senado. It had Chinese atmosphere a lot. In the morning, they were removing the decorations so it looked different. We could see the European style of building.

We went to Kuan Tai Temple (Sam Kai Vui Kun) near Senado Square. It was the small temple. It looked the old temple. The appearance of the temple was unique. It was the first time for us to see such a temple. Once we entered the temple, we were suprised to see it. There were many golden decorations. We could understand how great the Lord Guan was. Kuwan Tai is worshiped as the god of business. So Tomo&Chouchou prayed for the success in business. 

We walked the main avenue "Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro". There were Chinese style of buildings and Portuguese style of buildings. It was mixed. The buildings looked mostly old. Then we walked up the street called Calçada do Tronco Velho. This street looked much older. It also looked a little bit dark. Less people were walking. We were surprised and learned the big difference between sightseeing area and residencial area.

Episode of Wakkanai Fukuko Ichiba

Tomo&Chouchou went to Wakkanai Secondary Port Market [Japanese: Wakkanai Fukuko Ichiba; 稚内副港市場] by tour. There was a Russian show called "Russian Ensemble" at Wakkanai Sakhalin Hall [Japanese: Sakhalin-kan; サハリン館] on the ground floor. Russian people sang Russian folk songs. They also danced. We could experience Russian culture while we were in Wakkanai in Hokkaido, Japan. It was very friendly cultural event. We could feel the peace.

There was the area of Old Japan in Wakkanai Secondary Port Market. It was the atmosphere of Early Showa period (around 1926 - 1989). Tomo&Chouchou don't know such old shops and electric appliances. But we could understand how much Japan had developped. We felt like we were time-travelling. :-)  It was nostalgic.

There was the shopping area in Wakkanai Fukuko Ichiba. There were many local products such as seafoods and sweets. We can get both fresh and dried seafoods. Here is the good place to get Hokkaido souvenirs. Tomo&Chouchou bought dried seaweed (=dried kelp) because Rishiri kelp is very famous. 

Mainly we came to Wakkanai fukuko market for Russian folk ensemble show. It was the special moment for us to feel the history between Japan and Russia.

 

Tomo&Chouchou's advice for Wakkanai Fukuko Market

We can send via parcel delivery service if we buy a lot of things or heavy things in Wakkanai Fukuko market. It's very convenient. Especially if we buy something fresh such as crabs, we can send it to home by refrigerated shipping. It is very useful. Normally the percel will arrive to home (Japanese address) within 1 or 3 days. It will be up to where you live. In Japan, we can specify the arrival date and time.


About Early Showa period (1926-1989)

Japan had developped a lot after the World War Ⅱ. Especially Japan had developped from 1955 to 1973. This period is called the Japanese high economic miracle period [Japanese: 高度経済成長期]. First fridge and washing machine were made in Japan in 1930. First television was made in Japan in 1953. First radio was made in Japan between 1925 to 1928. Many new convenient things came up. People's life got better. There was the time of full of energy for Japan.

Travel review of Hokkaido Snow Festival group tour

Tomo & Chouchou had dreamed of traveling to the snow festival in Hokkaido. Our dream came true with this tour!

There are so many snow festivals in Hokkaido. Sapporo Snow Festival is the most famous one. With this tour, we could go to two festivals "Sapporo Snow Festival" and "Sounkyo Hyobaku Festival". Normally it costs a lot to travel to Hokkaido during snow festival season. With this group tour, we could travel at a relatively reasonable price. So we were very lucky. We could also visit the northernmost point of Japan and board the drift ice crusher. Even though we couldn't see the drift ice because 2016 was not so enough cold to see the drift ice, it was enjoyable to look for the drift ice. All the foods that we ate were good. We were really satisfied with this tour.

Episode of restaurant in Hotel Lisboa Macau

Tomo&Chouchou arrived late on the first day. We walked and looked for a restaurant near the hotel. Any restaurants didn't hit us so much. We also worried about closing time. We decided to go back to the hotel and eat in the hotel. Restaurant "Noite e Dia Café" was open. We entered the restaurant. It was nice atmosphere. Tomo wanted to eat Macau cuisine during this trip. So Tomo ordered Portuguese Chicken [Portuguese: Galinha à Portuguesa] [Chinese: 葡國雞]. It was visually beautiful. The taste was also very good. Chouchou ordered Seafood spaghetti. We enjoyed meal in the relaxing mood at the restaurant in Hotel Lisboa. 

On the third day, we could eat breakfast in the hotel. We had Breakfast at the same restaurant "Noite e Dia Café". It was buffet style. We could eat Chinese and western dishes. There were so many varieties of dishes. There were fresh fruits and desserts. We really enjoyed breakfast. We were so satisfied.

After eating breakfast, we visited world heritage sites in Macau. We had to check out early in the morning next day, so we decided to go back to hotel and had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel. We went to same restaurant in Hotel Lisboa. We ate African chicken [Portuguese: Galinha à Africana] [Chinese: 非洲雞] as Macau cuisine. We also ate Fried noodles as Chinese cuisine. We ate Bisque (shrimp soup) in the bread. Everything was tasty. We really enjoyed all meals.

All foods that we ate in Macau was great. We don't normally eat in the same restaurant during the trip. But in Macau, we ate at the same restaurant "Noite e Dia Café"  several times. Even though, we didn't feel bored because of wide variety. It was the attractive point in Macau. We were in Macau but we could feel that we were in Portugual or China. The architecture, culture and foods were mixed well, then people in Macau created their original culture, cuisine and so on. 

Tomo&Chouchou recommend the restaurant in Hotel Lisboa Macau. It was easy to discover and taste many kinds of dishes. The quality and taste were good.

Episode of Hotel Lisboa Macau

Tomo&Chouchou booked Hotel Lisboa Macau through Japanese travel agency (JTB). Tomo wanted to visit Macau because Tomo liked world heritage and mixed culture. Hotel Lisboa Macau is located in downtown in the Macau Peninsula. So we thought it could be convenient to look around.

We arrived at Macau airport then we took a free shuttle bus to Wynn Macau. We across the street then we walked to Hotel Lisboa Macau. We could find Hotel Lisboa which was lit up in Red. We could not find the entrance. It was the backside of Hotel Lisboa, we understood. Then we looked for the entrance and entered. But we couldn't find the front desk. We walked inside the hotel and we finally found the desk in the entrance. We checked in there. 

The bellboy brought us to the room. He also explained that the place where we checked in was not the front desk. He showed us the front desk before bringing us to the room. He finely explained the room and service. Tomo&Chouchou was planning to go to Hongkong by ferry. We had to leave early. We asked many questions about it. He explained from where to take a taxi, how long it will take to the ferry terminal and so on. He also arranged our breakfast as we cannot have breakfast. He helped us a lot. He was extremely kind and generous. We really appreciated his help and great service.

Our room was very large. We were so satisfied with the luxurious room. There were many free drinks in the fridge (probably drinks were included in the accomodation fee). Bathroom was a little bit special. There were massage shower or jaccuzi bath. Unfortunately we couldn't understand how to use it. Anyway we liked the couch, amenities, closet and atmosphere of the room.

We arrived at hotel in the evening. We decided to go to have dinner. We found the another entrance lobby with beautiful stairs. We really liked this place. It was very beautiful lobby mixed with Portuguese and Chinese architectures. When we went out from hotel, we could see Grand Lisboa just in front of Hotel Lisboa Macau. The color of illumination of Grand Lisboa was changing all the time. Each color was beautiful. We couldn't stop watching it.

The reason Tomo&Chouchou wanted to travel was the casino too. It was the first experience for us to play casino. We could have gone to Casino Lisboa but we went to Casino of Grand Lisboa. There was the bridge walkway between Grand Casino and Hotel Lisboa. We could go there easily. We could enjoy Casino safely.

In conclusion, we were really satisfied with the staff service, room, hotel interior, location and foods. So we highly recommend Hotel Lisboa Macau to stay.
