A flight to my moment part 4

We Have just realized that we have miss out day 3 of our holiday trip. I shall begin writing day 3 in the blog post.

Day 3
In this day, there was not much things happening. We woke up with cold hands and legs. The weather was starting to be cold after staying in Macau for two days. We gritted out teeth and told ourselves that we can bear with this cold country with a warm steam bath.

Derrick was sick last night. We felt that he was not used with the weather in Macau. Although we were cold, we do not want to tell anyone because we felt that it may cause another pathetic scenario. We sent him to a local doctor for a check up. The medical bill was expensive than singapore's hospital. It is true that the other country do not have subsides when it comes to healthcare.

We are worried that Derrick's sickness will be worsen if he continue shopping with us. In our thought, we were questioning each other. " shall we sent him home? Shall we continue our tour with him, regardless he was sick?" after much debating, we decide to allow him to go to the market that was located in Macau. Macau was not cold as taipa as there were many high building, blocking the monsoon wind from blowing. In somehow, we manage to view the Macau at a satellite map. Isn't that funny?

We took bus '5' to the market. The bus was special. It was cozy and the standing space was wider than our local bus. An item in the bus just convince me that the bus was much better than singapore. When the bus is going to the next stop, it will automatically said the next bus stop name in 4 language, which is cantonese, Chinese, English and Portugal. You were wondering why do they support Portugal language in Macau, instead of Cantonese, since Cantonese is the first official language.i will write a background knowledge of how Macau was formed, or should I said that was being founded.

Dutch was the first person to find Macau island. They used it as a port of trading as it was near the pacific ocean. It will bring much connivence to the Dutch if they are importing goods to Asia. However, there was world war 2 and the portugal saved the Dutch people. Dutch want to show their appreciation to the Portugal people. They gave them Macau as a form of appreciation. Therefore, Macau was under the ruling of Portugal.

China have overtaken Macau as Portugal felt that the land was not useful to them, therefore Macau is currently a part of the republic of china.

The trip took us about twenty minutes to reach the market. There are so many incident happening at the place, but nothing can stop us from visiting the market. It is because the market was selling so many variety of vegetables and fresh meats. We could see blood dripping from the meat. We would not find such fresh meats in our markets as the meats are frozen packed before sending to our country.

After viewing those, we head to our cousin's house as they said that they are cooking for us.
