May bilihan na rin ba ng ticket sa ferry in venetian? Anong terminal ba kami dapat sumakay if sa tst in hk ang hotel namin? TIA

Sis pinkcoyote, hindi kami pinayagan makasakay sa Grand Lisboa shuttle from Macau Ferry Terminal because we were with a 3-year-old. Sa shuttle ng Wynn kami sumakay.

[SOFIEMAE]

Just got back from an overnight stay in Macau; visited Senado Square, Ruins of St Paul, Taipa Village and Venetian. Acommodation was at Holiday Inn Macau, just a 10 minute walk to Senado Square.

Masarap na dinner sa O Santos in Taipa Village, simple home-style Portugese food with reasonable prices.

Taxi kami from Senado Square to Taipa Village, cost was 75 HKD. Medyo nahirapan lang kami sa shuttle bus terminal sa ferry kasi napatiyempo sa di marunong mag-English na worker doon nang hinahanap namin shuttle ng Holiday Inn Macau, buti naman another worker marunong.

Na-late din kami sa ferry pabalik HK buti pumayag sila to let us go to the next ferry without paying another ticket.

Holiday Inn Macau is in downtown Macau. Maganda service, madami Filipino workers who are all helpful.

Medyo nailang lang kami sa ferry terminal when a Filipina approached us asking if we need help, di lang katiwatiwala paglapit sa amin so maski lito kami sabi namin no help needed.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

^ Speaking of that Filipina experience you had, we had something similar. This happened some years back. We were in the Casino... there were 4 of us, me, my 2 friends and one of the friend's Mum. This lady, kinda old na rin, mga na sa 40s, I think... approached us and started doing small talk. There was no offer of any sort to take us around as a guide, but she made it look like she was with us. Not too long after, she started asking for food and since the staff saw that she "seemed" to be with a group playing the slots, she was served stuff. She ate some and not too long after, she asked for more stuff... It just got freaky when we saw that she started putting stuff in her bag na. That's when we got alarmed na.. Scary, diba? Anyway, we decided to move away and forget about her. She didn't follow naman, so we were okay na rin. Pero, super scary lang, diba?

[ataypool]

^yes scary nga. Her approach was not friendly at all, a bit intimidating pa nga kaya gut feel namin kinabahan agad. She had short hair, in her 40s and parang siga kumilos so beware.

Another experience sa entrance ng Turbojet ferry terminal in Hong Kong, this guy standing at the entrance we thought of as an employee because he took our tickets and handed us another set of tickets with a 15 minute earlier slot. Halfway na from the next entrance when I realised that he was not an employee but could be a scalper. Buti na lang na we were 30 minutes early kaya hindi rin kami late even with that 'new' ticket. He was in casual clothes we should have noticed that.

Another mistake we did that turned out good, we went to the entrance for premium ticket holders when we only had economy tickets. They told us we have to pay 50 HKD for two luggages for check in because they were too big. Nang nasa gate na the ticket checker upgraded us to premium, maybe because of that luggage check in. More than a hundred rin price difference between the premium and economy.
