The Vanice of Asia - Macau
















Macau now in 2009 is pretty much transformed into a Big City that's never sleep.

Gone are the only talk of the town about Lisboa casino the sole landmark since long ago, while still exisitng, together with the new & bigger Lisboa, Macau's main landmark is now replaced with many up and coming new & more extravegance Casino's spreads across from the Macau main city to the far side of new & upbringing town of Taipa across the bridges..3 different bridges as matter of facts.

One of them is the Venetiante Casino Hotel, certainly the so-acclaimed landmark in Taipa with part of it internal built just like the Vanice of Italy, beautifully constructed...quite romantic though ;)

Macau nowadays have transformed into a glamours country where the city never sleep! The night scene is absolutely impressive!!! Certainly there are much to offer apart from the grand setup of famous hotels cum casino giant like MGM, Wynn, Lisboa so on…they are many interesting historical attractions around the mian city area. Most of them are quite close to the town and rather easy to visit..either by way of walking or local buses transport.

Certainly as far as the popular food goes, never to be missed is of cos the Portugese-Tard. Must try the famous husband&wife outlets with the name as "Margaret Cafe" (wife outlet). It is located just behind the small lane of Auguster Lodge just few minutes walking distance away from New Lisboa Casino Hotel.

Tips to get around…….

Local buses charge a flat rate of $2.30(Macau city)/$3.30(Taipa) to anywhere along the way you wish to stop. So be sure to ride on the bus only if you find your way is way out of what you dun like by foot eh ;p Most big casino hotels do provide free shuttle buses to certain strategy location. Check out the hotel time table and you certainly will enjoy some free rides around the city…hehe Of cos there are plentyful of taxi to take you to places at your conveninces. Not too worry though as the taxi are all by meter. Generally Macau people are so much more frenlier and polite. You’ll love it there =D

Certain places like the Ruin of St Paul is best by walking. It is where most of the happenings are along the way to the ever popular attraction. Dun hesitate to try as many sample food you wish offered by the roadside shops as there is absolutely no obligation at all…haha =p

Here’s the best tips…getting tire of walking and feel like a cupper cafe!?..heheh! just drop in any of the casino and enjoy free flow of coffee, tea, soft drinks etc…absolutely free!!! be sure to crap a bottle of mineral water on your way out ya ;P….hehe And if you do feel that you are lucky go ahead and ‘enjoy’ yourself on the casino table. After it is still cheaper than you pay for the cafe outside the cafe joint… =D
