aiyoh...breakfast lah

nothign to do in macau ler just lotsa casino and gambling and lotsa watch shops.
The taxi dem expensive....every heartbeat will cost u every HKD1buck extra till u reach your destination.
Food...i bought timsum...yucks!! Its hard and taste weird!! Dun even dare to taste another thing.
The historical place...nothing much, just a bunch of shops tat closes dem early.

Is there any luggage centre at the Macau Ferry Terminal & how much will it cost
Plan to leave my bags there before exploring the city and take it back when going to the aiport at night

errm...seems like macau is not as interesting as I tot...like ther's only casino and historical place, no original macau"ed" food there?

Depends on what U like...I loved wandering the small lanes away from the main tourists streets...found many wonderful food , just follow where the locals go.
Taxi to the airport wasnt as expensive as I expected ..paid like RM27 from city centre. if you have time, take the AP1 local bus...think it only cost like RM 3.

I saved lots of money..either walking and checking sites along the way or take the free shutter provided by lots of casinos..treat the ferry terminal as a transit hub and get on the next free shuitter to another destination!!

yes..there's a 'left baggage' centre..Not sure about the cost tho"

portuges food...
egg tart
almond cookies

Frankly, i don't enjoy portuguese Cuisine, except the egg tarts...

Take a trip down to Hong Kong and don't waste too much time in Macau if gambling is not your deal!

Managed to book AA flight to Macau this coming Dec'08 (RM59.99 ticket ). Well it will be my 2nd trip to HK & Macau. The last trip was in 1995 where I took 1 hr ferry ride from HK to Macau for a day tour. This time round it will be the other way round ..Really hv fond memory especially I can actually see they build Macau airport from the ferry & now I'm going to land on the airport + Taipa is just a small island with scatter houses & not link to Coloane island..I believe right now both island are joined wth the Largest single casono in the world.."Venetian"

However in order to get cheap ticket + hotels, I decided to choose Fortune Hotel in Zhuhai China instead of Macau & HK.(Very expensive)....So far there is no info on which bus/price + taxi going to Zhuhai/Macau border. Appreciate anyone here hv some info on busses & taxi going to border.

My itinery probably include day trip to HK & also another day trip to Canton... ..+ 1/2 day rounding the small crowded Macau + shopping at Gonbei underground shopping at the Zhuhai border. More comment or input appreciated.. only 4D3N ..Can't afford expensive lifestyle here..

No NOT truth ,,, !!! casino hotel NOT only for gambling .....

if you are into new "era" of entertaiment ... all casino ( new ) in macau has some sort of "show" in their hotel ...
(lobbly area )

its free .. but you need to be there ON Time ...

I only managed to enjoy 2 shows in 2 night outing ... ( 2 different hotel ...)

I manage to find an apt for my 3 night stay in macau. price is 1/2 of the 2 star hotel. http://www.macau-houses.com/index.html

i hv booked for my stay during sept. if you go in group of 4-5 and min 3 nights stay. it is very worth it...

i book my ticket in feb, going there RM50, coming back RM99, all in plus tax is RM416.99

december will be nicer coz is winter time.......

where is CANTON? izzit very near to macau? how to go there?

Zhuhai is the nearest Chinese City on the Northern border of Macau..and btw, the border from Centre of Macau is only 3KM away (or ~10km from airport). The hotel rate at Zhuhai is much cheaper than Macau & the one I booked is just opposite Gonbei gate (Border gate) u can actually walk to Macau from Zhuhai! if u are strong-lah..but I think for me need a transport from Airport to Zhuhai.

From Zhuhai, it is just about 1hr to Canton (New name =Guangxhou)...And Guanzhou is the 3rd largets city in China wth metro population more than Hong Kong! - You can try Goocle Earth to check where is Canton

Hope some feedback on the taxi or bus rate to Zhuhai...BTW..be carefull wth the taxi drivers at Macau! I was conned badly during my 1995 trip....Brought me to a medical hall for foreigner & at the end I was forced to buy >RM1500 worth of medicine although I order ~RM300 only..the taxi guy probably pakat wth the owner!! ..This kind of stories were frequent during the 90' & even featured in "Kisah Benar" b4!!

Canton is under my KIV list only. My wife & daughter prefer Hong Kong...So probably I need to find a place to stay for a nite in HK if I skip Canton. Still long time to go ...Wondering why so less info on transport to the border

Nothing much in Macau. Can cover within 1/2 day...should venture North to China or Hong Kong.. ..previously the VISA application was by my travel agent...and cost me a bomb..terrible travel agent! ..but I heard now very cheap ~RM30 only..probably wil apply one myself ....Heard can get VISA from the bordwer too but worry of long que at the border..not sure about those multipel & sinle..thingy ..need info as u..

Can I check if we are flying back fr Macau - KL, at the Macau airport upon check-in do we need to pay the airport tax? How much izzit? we need to pay in MOP?? I think no way to get MOP outside than Macau, just like our RM??

no need de ah..i remember i dint pay anything at the airport during my last visit last month.

TQ fiolsn!

BTW, hv check with few money changer, they dont hv MOP leh...I guess just change HKD and RMB will do right?

HK $ can be used in Macau...semua boleh pakai except when u use the public bus when u need to have MOP small change.

Added on March 25, 2008, 1:11 amHope this is not too late. I discovered a way to get free transport.

Hope onto the many free shuttle bus services offered by the casinos. if you are coming from the aiport, take a public bus from the airport to the ferry terminal.Many buses go that way.But if you have like few person, make sense to take cab..cost almost the same after pay fare + each piece of bag have to pay extra when u get on the bus.

From the ferry terminal, just get onto any of the shuttle that goes into the casino...easier choose one of the bigger ones that's near by eg Wynner(spelling?) . Then when u get off at the casino, u get onto the buses that send ppl off to the ferry terminal as well as the zhuhai bus terminal. Check with bus driver which way it's going. I didnt check and assumed all pergi ferry terminal and ended up in Zhuahai by accident!!!
