It's Macau guys :-)

Portuguese eggtart @Fisherman Wharf

Here are few things bout Macau that I happened to note down…check it out

1. How to get there
Уσυ can go there by ferry (like us) or airplane or heli if уσυ r willing to pay
【ツ】ƗƗє²² ƗƗє²² ƗƗє²²【ツ】 . There are several ports for ferry (I used the one in kowloon, west rail in purple line mtr exit Austin, find china ferry terminal in adjacent to royal pacific hotel- imho). The ticket costs уσυ round 154hkd (one way plus tax) for economic class. Board early if уσυ wanna get the best seat (yg ga bikin pusing dan ga deket toilet)

2. Hotel
Most of big hotels (4stars n more) or big casinos are providing free shuttle to and fro (macau ferry terminal - respective hotel) at 5-15mins interval. The shuttle service is located across the ferry terminal building (exit the terminal building and enter the underpass in front of the exit door). The left side of the terminal covers the casinos' shuttle and the right one covers the hotels' shuttle. Check both sides if уσυ aren’t sure (or you could ask some pretty girls in sexy dress that are willing to help you). If уσυ booked yourself in less starred hotel...no worry. Just make sure your hotel is near (within walking distance) the big hotel/casino...so уσυ can free ride the shuttle as well (they welcome уσυ anyway). Most hotels here have casino attached to it. Have a look won't harm your wallet

3. Transportation
As no 2 above...some big hotels also provide free shuttle to other casinos...so basically уσυ can free ride anywhere (like us, we hitched lotsa shuttle) so basically we rode for free during our 3days stay. If your hotel doesn't provide free shuttle to other place...no worry...just board the shuttle to ferry terminal/border gate then уσυ can choose which bus уσυ wanna ride (free). If уσυ arer travelling to places unreachable by free shuttle, then уσυ gotta find a taxi/ride a paid bus

4. Money
Most places (hotels/casinos/resto) accept cc...others like food courts don't. They accept mop (macau currency), hkd, and yuan...so less hassle in paying here

5. Language
Most of them speak canton...half others speak mandarin...bout 35% of them understand basic english words

6. Food
The famous one is Portuguese eggtart...it's pretty tasty (I was never a fan of eggtart but I fell in love with this Portuguese eggtart…cant stop eating them). Try some portuguese food as well :-). Food court within big casinos have various food from malay, chinese, vietnam, fastfood, уσυ name it. The price of food within casino will be higher compare to hawker/foodstall.

7. Famous place
There are lotsa tourist attraction here but since my girls are not into cultural and historical places so I will tell уσυ bout the ones that we went. The famous casinos (city of the dream with its virtual mermaid aquarium that can fully capture your attention when you step on the lobby + the bubble + the dragon's treasure @50mop is quite a show + the house of the dancing water which I didn't see since cia2 didn't want to see). Galaxy macau (basically the hotel where we stayed) has an awesome diamond fountain show + wishing crystals that can sing when you wave around 9sensors + awesome wave sandy rooftop pool. We also went to Wynn to catch its water fountain show (every 15mins). Venetian has opera singers, gondola ride, lots of shop for your shopping spree. We went to fisherman's wharf...it's a pretty place (10mins walking from ferry terminal or уσυ could free ride the shuttle with fisherman's wharf written on the side of the bus body) but didn't know why it's so deserted at noon. There still has ruin of St Paul church, senado square, other historical places which might interest you.

8. Restroom
If уσυ wanna go to the restroom...find emergency exit (chu khou in mandarin or saidah in portuguese). Since they build the restroom inside the emergency exit, invisible from the mall/casino/hotel' corridors.

9. Nighttime
It's pretty awesome view during the nighttime since the whole city will be illuminated with light (especially the casinos) so check some big casino to get this free-view. But for those who travelling with kids, be aware that there will be a lot of very sexy and revealing picture of woman scattered/distributed around, complete with the phone number (so pay close attention to your dear husband "
