“High School life , Oh my High school life”  Don’t really know the song but these famous lines lingers to me as I write this entry. As we explore college, my Highschool friends and I rarely see each other, weren’t able to go out every so often and so it’s nice to be able to rekindle the friendship every once in while. Thus, we plan to go on a trip tp MACAU!

Why Macau? Well, we’ve heard so much about the place and I think it is the closest thing to Las Vegas we can get here in Asia. Not to mention a touch of Venice experience in Venetian hotel. So why not, right?

Macau is compose of 3 Islands - Macau, Coloane and Taipa.

Macau Island is more of the Busy place where tourist activities and business takes place, Taipa is more of a residential area, a more laid back place to stay and Coloane is more of a historical heritage site.( Thanks to a Semi- Macanese native Ate Vanj, Diana’s cousin for all these infos ).

Will tell you more about the places and my adventures with my HS buddies in the next entries, For now, I’d focus on one of bravest undertaking I’ve made. My Macau SKY JUMP EXPERIENCE!

The Macau Tower, is the tallest  SkyJump tower tower and is the 10th tallest building  in the world ( Up to date ).  Height measures 338 m (1,109 ft) from ground level to highest point.

The lower Observation Deck

You can see a panoramic view of Macau from the deck. There is also a coffee shop and a souvenir shop in this area

Glass bottom floors allows the guests to view the tower from below. For thos afraid of heights, this might me a real challenge to walk on.

View looking down on the glass flooring… Whew, I’m a bit scared to look down.

A 360 degrees of Breathtaking view of Macau

On the way up to the 61st floor we met a Chinese guy who made the first BUNJEE jump of the day! Of course, I need to take a picture with this brave soul!

And Just about before I to head for the elevator, I am happy to grab my Sanrio Buddy - Hello Kitty

Price list on the activites to do here at the 61st floor. Skywalk ( Literally just walking around the tower but outside the deck! ), Sky Jump  ( I think the carzy ones do this ), Bunjee Jump ( I think the uber crazy ones to this! HAHA!)

Whoo! Prices are pretty costly too, huh?

I think I’m good with the skywalk… I think I can handle that!

The guys in orange doing the sky walk….
 
Hmm.. this looks fun!

Amotivational line that made me and my freinds to consider jumping… After all, 10 years from now, we might me too chickened out to try it even more..

The dressing andlocker room for the jumpers

Gear rental area

Guess what I am about to do??? These guys are making sure I’m all gear up!

Do I look frightened?

Having fun to ease the tension… LOL!

Checking equipments for safety..

WHOHAAAA!!!! That’s me doing the SKY JUMP!!!!! You just didn’t know how many times I tried to back out. HEHE! It was a CRAZY, CRAZY experience but is all worth it!!!

Free fall jump  with NO parachute, just a harness attached to my back!!!! I lost my voice shouting and I haven’t reached the bottom of the tower yet. That’s how high it was!

Got free Tshirt, a baller, a certificate and a membership card! I’m a certified sky jumper now! YEBA! ( You can get a DVD copy of your jump if you want to. Well, I did!)

WHOHAAAA!!!! WHEW! SOMETHING I WILL BE PROUD OF FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!

Cheers to all the ones who jumped the tower!!!!

San Francisco is one of the most visited city in California. It boast of many tourist attraction such as the ever famous Golden Gate Bridge, Fishermans’ Warf, Piers, Fine arts Museum and Alcatraz to name a few.
It a very tourist friendly city. Going around the area is really easy and most places are accessible via the electric bus, train or cable car.

Posing at the Golden Gate Bridge! Say Cheese!

The Golden Gate Bridge - is said the be the most famous bridge in the wold. It is also the longest suspention bridge ever made by man. It was called the “Golden” since the redish color ( which is actually a vermillion orange) color turns goldish when the sun reflects it light on it during sunset. TRIVIA : Unfortunately, the Golden gate bridge it is said to be the most reported place to commit suicide in the world)

More info click here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge

Here’s a dedication stone for all the brave seafares who crossed the Pacific Ocean at the park overlooking the Golden Gate bridge

Alcatraz Island

This is the museum of Fine arts in San Francisco. Beautiful structures ( Kinda remind me of Julius Caesar’s era) Too bad the central dome was closed when I visited the place. They say carvings are even better inside

The Famous zigzag road at Lombard Street

.

The Cable car at Fisherman’s Warf ( You can ride this to go around downtown San Francisco )

Here’s another popular attraction along the Fisherman’s warf  ( Brad and Angelina- What a couple!)

At Pier 39, San Francisco -Sealions? Or Seals? ( Sorry not really good in telling the difference)

San Francisco city hall. This serves not only as a public service building but a function hall for school balls, weddings and other private affairs.

The Port located along the Piers

At Union Square , Downtown San Francisco with my cousins

Trivia: Not many are aware that this monument at Union Square at Downtown San Franscisco is dedicated to the brave soldier who fought at the Manila Bay, Philippines during the World War II ( It’s written at the lower part of the post )
