My Travel Experience
It was June 02, 2010 our departure from the Philippines to Macau to have an eleven-day vacation with my family. I’m excited for this is my first out of the country trip. It took two hours for us to travel before we finally arrived at Macau.

‘Pang Yao’ was the first Cantonese word I learned in this country meaning ‘friend’. My mom told me to use it in acknowledging anybody who is a Macau National. In our first day, we visited luxury hotels and resorts. Macau Hotels, Resorts and Casinos are just so amazing and this is one of the reasons why many tourists love to visit it. Some of the hotels we visited are MGM Grand Macau Hotel, Wynn Macau, Grand Lisboa Hotel, Grand Emperor Macau Hotel, and the City of Dreams.

The MGM Grand Macau Hotel is a unique structure located on a prime waterfront site in Macau's central Nam Van gaming district. It is placed in the neighbourhood of the planned Wynn Macau and the Lisboa Hotel and Casino, an area likely to become the first casino “strip” of Macau. It is one of the reasons why Macau is said to be the Las Vegas of the Orient. Next stop is the Wynn Macau. It is set to redefine the hotel and entertainment scene in Asia with the same excitement and flair that has made Las Vegas a top holiday destination. It is here I first saw a dancing fountain and it really caught my attention that time. I got amazed and shocked how are those fountains are installed that they can go and dance with the music. Grand Lisboa Hotel is also great. It is also one of the reasons why casinos are so popular in Macau. At night, it features a light show as it turns into a colourful sphere. Another hotel is located in the city center only 10 minutes from the Ferry Pier by complimentary shuttle and 15 minutes away from the International Airport, the Grand Emperor Hotel. The latter was said that the owner is Jackie Chan. Last hotel is the City of Dreams. The City of Dreams will be just as its name says a place of dreams. Near this hotel are other hotels like

    Mr. Greger, who kids called “The Blob” when he wasn’t looking, was waddling around inspecting lay-ups. He worked for Denver Middle school #123 and hated it. As he was waddling, the kids could hear his stomach sloshing around and at the same time see it jiggle. It was hard to suppress a laugh. He would occasionally stop to criticize kid’s form but he wouldn’t make a big deal about it. That is, until he stopped at a certain group, Carrie and Teddy’s group. They didn’t notice that he was watching them until he boomed, “What are you doing Carrie? That’s all wrong! You need to do it like this!”…

    The MGM Grand Hotel was a 23 story hotel and casino facility located at the intersection of East Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, currently in use as Bally's Casino. The hotel consisted of 21 stories of guest rooms situated above two non-hotel stories- a double main level and casino and an interstitial space used for gaming floor security. The floors were numbered with an alternative numbering system used by the MGM Grand owners, depicted in Fig.1. Immediately adjacent to the casino and performance areas on the first floor to the east were a series of restaurants, clustered in the central portion of the building.…

    Individual businesses must work in partnership with other organisations in order to be successful. Tourism is a very competitive and complex sector and many companies develop links with other businesses as a way of maximising profits. If for example Thomas cook didn’t work with other hotels, insurance companies, company picks up on arrival, Thomas cook wouldn’t make any profits, as customers wouldn’t want to book a holiday with a company who don’t take out insurance, which if an accident happened they would have thousands to pay with no compensation. Also if customers were to book with a company who didn’t book with certain hotels, you could end up anywhere without any information about it. Whereas if Thomas cook have interrelationships with hotels they are more likely to be safer and nicer hotels, meaning customers trust Thomas cook knowing the hotel is good one. This increases profit due to more repeat purchases.…

    Imagine standing on a road in a warm humid place in the middle of nowhere. A place where the grass is dry, the fields are endless, and the smell of dirt stings the inside of your nose as the wind sweeps by. The roads are narrow and lonely. The only visitors that pass are the few people on bikes and the occasional rusty truck that hums as loud as a lawn mower as it carries sugar cane from a nearby farming village. As you look out into the fields, water buffalo can be seen in the distance and the periodical old woman appears carrying a long pole on her back with huge amounts of bug eaten vegetables in baskets on each end. You see a small dirt path leading off of the road into the field. The end of the path cannot be seen, but with no weeds or grass growing on the walkway it can be assumed that civilization lies ahead. Hot, sticky, bug bitten and hungry, you make your way down the path until finally you reach a small village.…

    I sat at the resort’s buffet with my mom, grandparents, and my brother, while we were relaxed and we enjoyed ourselves. I could smell the salt from the seawater of Gulf of Mexico, it was a rather odd smell, it smelt bitter, fresh, and clean all at the same time. The smell was somewhat pleasurable, and was very distinct. Every morning, in the resort, I woke up to the smell of it, which was something I definitely get used to.…

    Life is a journey of the unknown. There have been many points in my life were I can say how did I get here, so with that being said let me begin where I think I really started identifying with the person who I am now and what lead my down that path.
