^^Thanks, badw33d!

By the way, may I ask what's the best (easiest) way from Senado Square to Penha Church? Taxi lang ba talaga? By best/easiest I mean, less or short distance lang ang lakad because I have kids in tow. Thanks!

[badw33d]

^15 to 20mins walk. or do taxi, hassle kasi bus

[travelling_daisy]

^Thanks badw33d! Will take taxi going there frim Senado Square na lang. Problem will be from Penha church to Fisherman's Wharf, marami bang dumadaan doon? Or maybe we have to consider walking and taking the bus?

taxis do pass by on those areas. you're okay.

based from observatory, it's gonna be sunny, so light sweater, depends on your body take. you'll be in macau when? we can meet :-)

[travelling_daisy]

^ Thanks again, badw33d. Good to know!

[travelling_daisy]

To those in MAcau now, maulan ba? We'll be there next week and the forecast says it will be cloudy with scatterred rains. Oh well, sana mabago pa. Praying for sunny weather.

Also, not so cold anymore, right? Pwede na mag-shorts ?...

Done backreading!

Based sa mga nabasa ko, ang mga ok na hotel na medyo mura ay 5footway at ole tai sam un. Ang hindi ko sure, kung may airport transfer na inooffer itong 2 to. 11 pm kasi ang dating namin sa Macau. Mas ok sana kung hindi magtataxi, hehe.

Parang ang ganda nga din sa Venetian or Galaxy magstay ng kahit 1 night.

Sa ferry, pareho naman bang ok: cotai and turbojet? time lang ang pinagiba?

Gusto kong puntahan yung Panda zoo, sumakay ng Gondola at manood ng House of Dancing Waters (ang mahalia nito ha!!!)

[rocky]

^tet, sobrang pangarap ko yang HODW. yan na lang talaga ang gusto kong balikan. hehe!

mga sis tapos na ba yong studio city hotel? anong ok na gawin don? thanks

[matetreyes]

kailangan ng special powers para makaipon ng pang house of dancing waters!

[matetreyes]

golden reel yata yung sa studio city sis: http://www.studiocity-macau.com/en/entertainment/detail/golden-reel ferris wheel na hugis 8

[badw33d]

staying for a night in Studio CIty earns 2x golden reel tickets. but nothing much, the usual... Casino and shopping.

house of dancing waters... worth to watch ... splash splash splash :-)

venetian macau... rooms are okay, galaxy... better. Okura is great, but ofcourse Banyan tRee is way way way way way better.

If you want a good hotel with a good price.. HOLIDAY INN COTAI, they can go for as low as 700HKD/night.

[rocky]

^wow, mura ng rate nyang holiday inn cotai. hehe! unang punta ko don hindi pa ako GT wala pang alam kaya sa holiday inn kami yong luma. maganda yong room kaso sinusumpa ko kasi ang layo ng lalakarin. tapos sunod hotel sintra since don nagwowork friend ko, mas maganda location kaso mahal na rin ngayon. pag-iipunan ko talaga yang HODW

[badw33d]

^yeah watch out for their promotion. its called SANDS hotel promotions. :-)

[rocky]

^kaso weekend kami nandon, chineck ko rate mahal din. mura pag weekdays

[badw33d]

right, i forgot to mention about the stay dates. should be Mon-Thursday hehe. usually Thursday evenings are a bit expensive, Friday to Sunday evenings are expensive too.

[rocky]

^bro, may alam ka bang pwedeng bilhan ng discounted ticket ng HODW? thanks

[badw33d]

^wala. its a macau thing :-) but, i think kung mga travel angency for a package tour, meron yan. Also, sometimes yung COD hotels... Hard Rock, Crowne, Hyatt .. may offers sila na stay one night with 2x tickets sa house of dancing waters. but if ticket alone, so far wala pa ako nakitang ganun.

[rocky]

^yong sa mismong website ng COD ang promo lang nila sa C reserve with free MOP 150 dining voucher. pwede na rin

anong ok na pwesto? bandang taas ba para hindi mabasa?

[travelling_daisy]

^sis rocky, we're watching HODW again this March. I got the B Reserve Seats, Row C. We want sana the front seats kasi we watched this show na before (2010), second row seats, di naman kami nabasa. Okay pa ang view, you can see the performers up close. This time, we'll be watching with our kids, fourth row na yata yang seats na nakuha ko. I just booked online. Medyo mahal na nga ang tix ngayon. More than twice nung price nung last na nood namin nung 2010. But, the show is really nice and worth the money naman.

^^@badw33d: Still cold and rainy ba in Macau? I still haven't packed our stuff kase I am honestly having second thoughts on bringing cold weather outfits. I browsed through some posts in IG, I have seen some na medyo winter attire pa ang suot. Di ba medyo OA yun? Temperature is at 18-23C this weekend. More like Baguio lang. Do we really need those coats and thick jeackets? I remember when we were in HK na around 23/24C ang temp, naka-shorts pa kami.
