2024: I had a great adventure enjoying my wild hair experience cruising through Mongkok, Kowloon, and Hong Kong . . . Now, I wanted visiting somewhere more relaxing--less hustle and bustle.
Anyway, I road the Hong Kong MRT from Mongkok, Kowloon because I stayed at the Dragon Hostel, disembarked the MRT playing offensive linebacker through the throngs of a gazzilion peeps then, I began transitioning from the MRT entering the Ferry Terminal. Amusingly funny, the people were hustling and bustling through the Terminal--where is everybody going in such a mad rush???!!
Aside, I didn't know how I would arrive in Macau--I heard you may fly or ride the ferry which I decided immediately opting riding the ferry instead due to flying would mean hassling with TSA Agents, i.e., a flat out, indignant, "NO," blared in my thought process making my decision. In addition, I didn't know where I would stay in Macau; however, I always wanted visiting Macau and not having a place staying never deterred my "Indiana Jones" Explorer instincts.
Nonetheless, I'm always up for an adventure! While walking from the Ferry Terminal entrance, I noticed via the LEFT SIDE of the people walking who were briskly passing me on the right, there was a huge sign with an arrow pointing to a Travel Agency. Naturally, I gravitated towards the sign entering via the left side door, excited meeting a Travel Agent.
Happily, the Travel Agent spoke English fluently:
I began expounding to the Travel Agent I'd like a cool place nearby everything, i.e., I didn't have time renting a car nor did I purchase foreign, car insurance, I wanted riding the bus everywhere in order, sightseeing, I'd like a hotel close by where I may buy groceries or visiting a restaurant would be exceptionally ideal. To my utter surprise, the Travel Agent booked my ferry ride AND my Macau Hotel Reservation in TWO MINUTES FLAT!!!!
WHOA~The Travel Agent expediently gave me a map of Macau, what bus I must ride in order, arriving at the hotel, directions where I'll be staying, bus routes of places worth visiting, restaurants nearby the hotel--EVERYTHING!!!
BTW: The Hong Kong Island Ferry Terminal Travel Agent booked my hotel reservation staying at the East Asia Hotel . . .
East Asia Hotel's Address:
1 Rua da Madeira, Macau City, Macau
Macau SAR, China, 999078
Apparently, the Travel Agent works in conjunction with the Hong Kong Island Ferry Terminal Services which was absolutely awesome and hassle-free. Finally, I arrived at Macau Turbo Jet Ferry Service then, proceeded checking with the Fast Macau Turbo Jet Reservationist:
The Reservationist began scrutinizing my US Passport, scoured my facial features, inquiring why I want visiting Macau which I replied, "I want exploring Macau's beautiful scenery," the Reservationist smiled, stamped my Passport, gave me my ticket boarding pass, and I quickly embarked the cool ferry.
Oh, one more tidbit I must expound:
The Macau Ferry FLEW gliding across the ocean; no bumpy rides R/T! Now, I'm heading towards Macau . . . See ya later on the return to Kowloon later!!! read more
