Macau, CHINA

If you are in Hong Kong, you must take a day trip to Macau. It only takes 1.5 hours to Macau. Unlike Hong Kong, Macau was hand over to CHINA on year 1999. In west, you have Las Vages, in east, you have Macau. Macau is a gambling country. You see lots of CASINO everywhere. Indeed, the "Casino Lisboa" is still one of its kind :)

How to get there from Hong Kong
- Go to MACAU-HONGKONG ferry at China Ferry Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui
- They are two companies that running the passanger service to Macau. Both are good.
- Cost HKD$150 (approximate USD$20) for single trip

Casino
- Lisboa (classic and been well known)
- The Sand (new casino - you see it when you depart in the terminal)

Tourist Spot
- Macau Tower
- Fortree of Mong Ha
- Fisherman Wharf
- Av. Almeida Ribeiro (San Ma Lo - pronounce in cantonese), the only shopping hotspot in Macau

Food
- You should try the "Portugese Tart". Get the "Portugese Tart" in Ruins of St. Paul
- This is must try when you are in Macau, "Chu Pa Bao" - Pork Bun. Walk along the Av. Almedia Ribeiro and Central. You found it, otherwise ask the local when you are in these two streets.

Macau(n) speak fluent cantonese as in Hong Kong. As usual, not many speak good english but it wasn't bad for them to understand you. Student can speak good portugese and this is very impressed me somehow :)..

You can use HKD in Macau but not vice versa. HKD is widely accepted and you don't need to change your currency note if you do have HKD. Exchange rate between HongKong and Macau dollar is not much different, probably couple of cents. Thus, you don't bother. It always good to keep some local currency :)
