澳门 Macau - There's More Than Sin in Sin City!

The post on my photographs of Macau is way too delayed. Better late than never!

Bem Vindo A Macau - Welcome to Macau

By the Rivers of Babylon....

The Guan Yin (觀音) statue - her legend reminded me of our Meerabai

Macau Science Centre

Macau Tower in the distance....

Amazing glass structure on the streetside...

Lovely view of the Grand Lisboa...

The Grand Emperor...

Amazing reflections...

The Ponte Governador Nobre de Carvalho Bridge - the bridge connecting Macau and Taipa

Looking up to the Torre Panorâmica - the Macau Tower

The Golden Lotus -- a sculpture of the floral emblem of Macau

Bungee jumping at the Torre Panorâmica

89 days to go for the Shanghai Expo

Pousada De São Tiago - a 24 room boutique hotel - the epitome of luxury...

Mr. Ho pedalling us on his Trishaw....

Ohhh, that's Guangdong province of the People's Republic of China - a PLA frigate just passed by - photography was sadly not permitted

They even pray in Sn City! A-Ma Temple - how close the Chinese are to Indians, both culturally and spiritually...

Streets of Macau - An epicure's delight. Smoked layers of pork in various flavours. Lip-smacking, delicious and flavourful.....

Ruins of St. Paul's, the façade of what was originally the Cathedral of St. Paul built in 1602

Fake medicines?

Relaxing!

A wonderful blend of Oriental and Portuguese architecture and lovely riot of colour....

Instituto para os Assuntos Cívicos e Municipais -- A beautiful library block, reminds a bit of the Asiatic society at Horniman Circle, Bombay. But an decrepit building behind.... So much like Bombay

Santa Casa de Misericórdia -- The Holy House of Mercy -- the oldest social institution in Macau established in 1569

A street scene....

Largo do Senado all decked up for the Year of the Tiger -- Kung Hei Fat Choy -- 农历新年

Relaxing at McDonald's...

Banco Nacional Ultramarino -- A relic of the bygone Portuguese era....

The footpath designed smartly reflecting the Portuguese heritage of Macau....

Night fall brings out another aspect of Macanese life...

A Macanese Matador?

Grand Lisboa in all its splendour....

A huge diamond on display..... Guess the caratage ....

Simply opulent.......

The bridge to Taipa...
