I’m now in Macau! Yippee!
Mum, Dad, Jonathan and I arrived at Macau last night. We’re staying in the Holiday Inn in Cotai Central. There are many hotels in that district. Each hotel hasher own special design. And all of them are five-star hotels! How luxury! The Galaxy Hotel, the Venetian Hotel, the Hard Rock Hotel, the Crown Hotel, the Grand Hyatt Hotel and the Four Seasons Hotel are the hotels I would like to stay.Anyway, I’m satisfied with Holiday Inn.
This afternoon, we went to some streets with unique names like the Rua Cinco de Outubro. Macau was a former Portuguese colony. Therefore many names of streets in Macau are spelt in Portuguese. Jonathan tried to pronounce it as he thought it was spelt in English. He tried to pronounce the name of the street for many times but he couldn’t. How adorable!We shopped there and ate some local food like the almond cake, peanut candy and Portuguese egg tarts etc. They were so fascinating!!!
This night, we went to a place that I’ve long been looking forward to—The House of Dancing Water.I watched the show and it was wonderful!!! The show began in the coasts of Coloane. A fisherman travelled with his boat and enjoyed his journey. Suddenly a mysterious energy from the water created a terrible whirlpool and it grabbed him and pulled him to a place and a time of legends. At the same time, a survivor from a ship wreck was brought from a storm. This stranger encountered a beautiful princess who was thrown into a cage by her wicked stepmother and they fell in love with each other. The fisherman helped the stranger to fight against the wicked queen. At last, they defeated the wicked queen with their joint effort. The fisherman became the king. The stranger and the princess lived happily ever after.
The show really amazed me! The stage pool can hold a record-breaking 3.7 million gallons of water, equivalent to 5 Olympic-sized swimming pools! And 11 hydraulic stage lift are used to transform the pool into a spectacular stage in less than a minute!
What’s more, the show was exciting. There were many record breaking tricks and special effects. They were really intense. And I appreciate the actress—Faye Leung. She dances really well! She was really elegant! I’ll learn from her. I’ll practice more ballet and improve myself. Hope I could be a dancer in the future!J
