“We are the world, we are the children.” This is the chorus of a famous song by international superstar Michael Jackson and along with other hits such as “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” and “Thriller” is familiar to everyone. For his loyal fans, next Thursday 29 August is a very special day, because it is Michael Jackson’s birthday. He would have been 55 years old.
What’s the best way to remember Michael Jackson on this day? Lots of Jackson’s fans will be uploading statements and recordings of themselves expressing their feelings about him and around the world people will gather to commemorate his birthday. But if you want to have your own special day for him, I recommend visiting the only Michael Jackson gallery in Asia – located in the Sofitel Hotel at Ponte 16 Macau.
The Michael Jackson Gallery at Ponte 16 displays a collection of over 40 iconic items from his remarkable career, including his famous white glove, crystal socks, fedora hat and a series of autographed photos and figures. Don’t forget to walk through the time tunnel as it captures the key milestones of Jackson’s legendary career. The Ponte 16 Gift Gallery allows Jackson fans to purchase a variety of souvenirs while the “MJ Café at Ponte 16” extends the themed concept of Michael Jackson by using his favorite red and black interior to create a striking stage effect.
You will feel as if Michael Jackson never left as his wonderful songs continue to accompany us forever!
