nakakatuwa while we were walking towards the Ruins of St Paul, mga stores duon including Ko Kei selling beef Jerky, pastries and other Macau delicacies will encourage you, to be more exact, force feed you with their samples
siguro sa dami ng Filipino tourists frequenting macau, the vendors there knew some tagalog words such as "sarap?" "mura" "balik", bring a bottle of water with you kasi halos mabulunan ako sa kakatikim duon lalo na sa loob ng Ko Kei stores, may free tasting sa plastic containers, 1 to sawa!

Hi guys, saan po OK magpapalit ng PHP to HKD sa Macau. Parang wala kasi nabanggit sa Page 1. Thanks po.

Hi! we'll be on macau sa september and start na po ako gawa ng ITI namin
patulong naman po, ang schedule po ng flight namin is 9:30 pm pa on a thursday night so more or less po 11 pm siguro macau na kami tapos na ng immigration or baggages

may ibang option po ba other than staying at the airport and waiting it out for the next day para po instead of 3 nights kami, 2 nights lang ang check in sa hotel? Hehehehe baka lang po may ibang options XD

TIA!

Stay at the casino, casinos do not close.

If you're asking if there's a way to sleep for free then you already know the answer to that.

Save your energy, get some sleep by paying for the additional night in a cheaper hotel.

so excited to go to Macau next week. I'll be there for four days and we're staying at the Venetian Hotel.

BTW, are there Uniqlo/H&M/Cotton On stores in Macau?

[commoner]

Nope wala. Meron Bershka and Pull & Bear sa Venetian.

[fd20]

I forgot to ask...what's the weather like at Macau at this time of the year? I want to know so I could prepare what to bring and wear. Thanks.

[commoner]

Mainit na sa Macau. Humid also. Make sure you get to visit Taipa Village which is walking distance from the west lobby of Venetian. All the authentic Macanese/Portugese restaurants are there. You can start with Dumbo, Litoral or O Santos. Check out Venetian's pool area also.

Don't miss Galaxy and City of Dreams. Drop by Sands Cotai just to see the place.

Pupunta ba kayo sa HK? If not, you can do your shopping in Senado Square - Rua Dos Mercadores for women.

beware of pickpockets

i was talking to a kababayan security staff of Wynn's as we were waiting for the Tree of Prosperity and Dragon shows at the lobby, he excused himself and approached a young mainlander, i was surprised when the mainlander shouted at him and then left abruptly, he returned and explained that the guy belongs to a group of pickpockets that prey on tourist habang nalilibang or namamangha sa kalagitnaan ng shows, tinataboy nila kasi kilala na nila ang grupo

ang daming pinoy working at Macau and all of them were very friendly and helpful when i asked for assistance and directions, mabuhay ang mga OFW sa Macau!

Ingat din sa ibang pinoy. nabiktima na ako ng dalawang beses. sa san malou at sa public bus. parerong tomboy ang dumali sa akin.

pwede rin naman kayong mag stay sa airport and wait for the next morning pero it might be very exhausted. most of the hotels check-in time is 2-3 pm. mas mainam pa rin stay in a hotel on your first night so that you can have a lot of rest para sa madugong lakaran the following days.

by the way ilan ba kayo? kasi may mga pilipino dito na nagpapa transient 60 pataca per head per night.

i'm a macau residence for more than 20 yrs. meron akong kotse but for 4 pax lang. no worries regarding car kasi may mga shuttle bus ang mga hotel or can take local bus.

sundo ko kayo sa airport, hatid sa hotel nyo. if still have a time, mag walk around the vicinity of your hotel or find a place for a light snack kung late na kayong darating.

then pick up ko kayo the next day from your hotel for the sight seeing. kung meron na kayong itinerary, we can follow yours, or i will tour you the easier way. we will discuss, what ever you think convenient for your group.

inform me your arrival date/time and your hotel's name.


God bless,

What's your entire itinerary? What date/time are the flights and where from?

Assuming you have 1.5 days in Macau, this is what I will do:

Day 1 - After check-in, take shuttle/taxi to ferry terminal. Take free shuttle to Venetian, then to City of Dreams then to Galaxy.

Day 2 - [Optional bus/taxi to Fisherman's Wharf] Walk to Wynn then to Lisboa (MGM is disappointing, Mandarin Oriental beside it looks more impressive) then to Senado Square then to Ruins of St. Paul. Ponte 16 and Fisherman's Wharf can also be done after. Don't know how to get to Ponte 16.

If you don't want to take the taxi then you will need a lot of time going back to the ferry or airport for the free shuttles unless the hotel shuttle stops at a different hotel.

Read the previous page of this thread. I posted links of the shuttle routes.
