Macau Guide (Thread 7)

^^cool. Yeah better sa medyo mataas coz the performers would sometimes do some intentional splashes on the crowed. And the closer you are in water, you will want to wear a rain coat hehe.

^Have a Q for you, badw33d.  Hope you can refer to my edited post above. Thanks!

^sis, pano pag online? need ba syo mismo yong CC? balak ko kasi maki-ride lang sa officemate ko since wala naman akong CC. solo lang akong manonood. ito lang kasi talaga ang reason ko para bumalik ng macau

^^badw33d, noted

[travelling_daisy]

^ sis rocky, parang wala naman akong nabasa na di pwede pag di mo sarili yung CC na gagamitin mo. With us kasi, I used my CC and ang istructions lang ay to present the confirmation voucher they have sent. The voucher has a bar code that they will scan when you present at the entrance. Before (in 2010), when we first watched it, di pa pwede yung i-email sayo yung voucher. We redeemed the tickets pa at the Boxoffice counter ng COD in exchange of the email confirmation. All they asked from me then are our passports for identification/verification purposes, not the CC.

when are you travelling? but here's the weather for the next 7days ... 14-24deg but foggy or gloomy, so it can be a cool weather. light sweaters are good but i not winter clothes. depends on how much you can bear the cold weather. also, note that 20-24 deg during winter or spring time in HK/MC is different from 20-24 in summer :-) during winter... it can go lower maybe 18 and windy... during summer it can go up to 28 with high humidity.

careful, as far as i know, you need to present the CC you used to purchase the tickets online, my experience in year 2015.

[travelling_daisy]

^ Going this weekend, badw33d. Thanks for the reply!
So maybe I really have to pack jackets. No shorts yet this time. 
Thanks for the heads up.

[badw33d]

^ to be precise on the weather, visit this HK site http://www.hko.gov.hk/contente.htm, it's 1 deg lower in macau .

happy vacation :-)

[travelling_daisy]

yan nga worry ko, kasi nong 2011 kaya hindi ako nakapanood ng HODW dahil pag online need mong ipresent sa counter yong CC na ginamit mo online. since wala akong CC, hindi ako bumili non. pagdating ko sa macau yon kagad dapat bibilhin ko kaso soldout na yong reserve C, VIP na lang natira kaya hindi na ako nanood kasi sobrang mahal. cirque du soleil na lang pinanood ko, no choice eh

sis travelling_daisy sana nga pwede para sure na may ticket na ako bago yong travel ko

[travelling_daisy]

We'll be going this weekend. I'll let you know if hinanap nga.

[rocky]

^thanks sis, update mo ko ha

Please help as me and my friend will go to macau pero side trip lang kaya one day lang po.  We know we won't be able to cover all the nice places but what can you recommend for us na puntahan or gawin to maximize yung trip namin.

[chinablue]

^first of all, I suggest agahan ninyo ang sakay ng ferry papunta sa Macau sis. Kung keri ninyo, why not go on the first trip which is around 7 am para mas marami kayo macover na places. much better if bili na din kayo ng ticket pabalik.

with regards to the places naman, siyempre it depends on your interests and more importantly, budget. kung kaya ng budget, push ang house of dancing water or bungee jumping sa macau tower if feeling adventurous kayo. if medyo limited naman ang funds, stick na lang to the free shows and places which do not require entrance fees. you can go casino hopping, libre naman ang shuttle buses. the venetian is nice to visit. nag enjoy kami ng mama ko dito. feeling donya kami, hahaha. sumakay kami ng gondola and nagpakabusog sa food court. highly recommended ko ang Glorious Bbq King sa food court ng The Venetian. Affordable ang food pero sobrang yummy! Happy tummy talaga!

May mga free shows din sa mga casinos. Hindi namin napuntahan lahat pero ang napanood namin eh yung sa Wynn Macau na Tree of Prosperity and Fountain Show. Natuwa naman kami.

Pwede kayo maglakad-lakad sa Fisherman's Wharf. Honestly, di ko siya masyado naappreciate siguro dahil umaga kami nagpunta. I think mas maganda siya sa gabi.

Don't leave Macau without paying a visit to the famous Senado Square and Ruins of St. Paul's. Gosh, eto pinakanaenjoy ko kahit ang sakit na ng paa ko sa kalalakad. Ang daming free taste sa paligid sis! Hindi ka magugutom! Beef jerky for the win! Ako na ang matakaw kasi lahat ng madaanan namin, tinitikman ko talaga, hahaha. And siyempre, Portuguese egg tarts. Hay, naglalaway na tuloy ako ngayon. Hehe.

[godsgift]

^wow sobrang natuwa naman ako sa tips mo sis, eto jot down ko na hehe... Yung ticket buy na rin kami sa GC.  Sis magkano ang bayad sa gondola?

[badw33d]

^ you can go to macau from macau anytime... Sheung Wan Ferry pier runs 24-hr a day ferry, 1hr interval nga lang

go studio city, i think the reel is fun.

[chinablue]

^^sis, eto yung ticket prices from the venetian website:

Pricing:

Adults - Mop128 (per ride)
Kids - Mop98 (per ride)
Private Gondola - Mop512 (per ride)

[SOFIEMAE]

yung fishermans wharf hindi maganda sa ngayon puntahan kasi may ongoing construction unlike nung first visit ko medyo ok pa mag photo ops... sayang ang time skip muna sa list... pero siguro pag naayos na mas gaganda pa

[travelling_daisy]

Sis rocky, we watched the House of Dancing Water last Sunday and presented only the e-tickets they sent thru email. The credit card I used wasn't asked. Dina kailangan ipresent, sis. Just the printed e-tickets.

[rocky]

^yehey, thanks sis

[pt_2000mf]

hi mga sis ask ko naman where to look for the price HK to Macau thanks in advance.
