Macau (5-8 April 08)

Flight: By Airasia, RM367 per person. Arrive Macau at 7.20pm.

Accomodation: Macau Masters Hotel.
My mother, my sister and I stayed in a standard twin room (without breakfast), cost us HKD 1680 for 3 nights.
Rate for Saturday = HKD 680
Rate for Sunday-Monday = HKD 500 per night
The room is attached with bathroom, small and clean. But there is some smell inside the room, maybe is the smell of the old carpet.
The location of the hotel is quite strategic. Within walking distance to Senate Square. There is a bus stop just in front of the hotel.

Food: We had tried 黄枝记粥面 , 义顺炖奶, 三元粥 and the egg tart. The egg tart is very good. Other food, somehow I didn't felt it's nice.

Transportation: Our legs :p In fact, we really walked a lot. From hotel to Senate Square, Monte Fort, Casino Lisbon and Macau Towers. Bus services are convenient. The bus no and the route is clearly stated at each bus stop. The bus fare is fix - MOP 2.50 per trip.

Visited Places: San Ma Lo,手信街 , Largo do Senado, Monte Fort, Casa Garden, Casino Lisbon, Macau Towers, A-Ma temple, Grand Prix Museum, Wine Museum, the statue of Guan Yin at 新口岸 and The Venetian.

The Venetian is a resort with casino, hotel and also shopping complex. We took the complimentary shutter bus from Sands Macau to The Venetian. The canal, the gondola with the singing gondolier, the European style building and the ceiling that looks like the real sky had made it one of place that you can't miss when you visit Macau.
