Sea of Pearls

I didn't spend my Christmas Eve, Christmas in Singapore. I spent it in "Zhu Hai" a.k.a. Pearl Sea in english.

Our family of 15 members went for the trip except my sis coz she gt to work. Our trip is an annual kind of thing? Every year, we the family, will sit down and discuss where to go for holidays etc. Which is good coz I love travelling.

The day started at 4am for everyone to assemble in the airport terminal. It's too early and I'm not as excited as the previous year, where we went to Hong Kong. Don't know why either. So we did all the check ins, body checks and boarding the plane.

The flight is super long, close to 4 hours. I don't really fancy long flights because you can't stretch or walk around plus theres nothing to do on the plane, except sleeping.

And there was the seating problems. Sometimes the agency juz randomly put a group of people in different rows. Then there was the hassle of requesting for a change of seat to the person sitting on it. This will cause some chaos.

Since its a morning flight, we got to see the sun rise. It's really beautiful! From a dark sky to a bright orange sky.

Afterwhich took a coach to cross the custom from Macau and then to Pearl Sea, China. Photobucket

The moment we stood out of the Chinese Custom, a pickpocket was caught in front of our eyes! The thing is, the police was so near the act of crime and yet the pickpocket have the audacity to steal!

We didn't head straight to the hotel which I wish we did coz I'm exhausted from the long haul of flight. The temperature was around 18 degree celcius. Cold but not extreme.

Went for lunch at a restaurant. The design is really classy and elegant, I liked!

The food was not bad but the prawns were really small.

Next we went to the Sea of the Pearl Goddess. Legend has it that because Pearl Sea has frequent storms therefore the Goddess would use a powerful Pearl to ward off the Storms hence the ppl construct a statue to show their admiration for her.
