Weekend Snapshot#28 Venetian Hotel, Macau




The living statue inside Venetian Hotel. We initially thought he was just a plain statue until someone commented that he seemed to be breathing so we stayed and stared at him for a few minutes to see if he was really breathing and he actually did. He was standing still without even blinking. His features are of a Pinoy so we were quite curious if he really was. Some people threw some money on the floor infront of him. I heard, he gets to rest after an hour of doing that and gets paid handsomely aside from the tips.



The gondola complete with a singing gondolier inside the hotel.

That's cool! That must be a hard job -- so we're able to find out if he's Pinoy?:)

These are great photos. I think that living statue would give me the creeps, though!

i think a living statue is now a common ornaments (if that's what you call them) and it takes a talent to do such job, bec what if some part of their body is itchy? :D

I had the chance to visit Macau for a day last year when I went to HK for a one-week vacation. I got to see the Venetian and the place is indeed very nice and huge. I love its interior along with a replica of an Italian piazza. Glad to see that you enjoyed your visit there too. :)

I also stopped by to say hi and to thank you for visiting my blog. It's very much appreciated. Take care. :)
