Just some brief words.

For those wanting to come to Macau for some sight seeing, the cheapest way is to come to Macau from
Malaysia by AirAsia. Depending on the time and date and month that you book, the flight coming and
return will be differ. So make your travel plan carefully. You can get a Visa on the spot for Macau. Just fill
up the visa form and you are good to go for Malaysian passport. But remember, do not throw away the
blue and white paper as it is an indication that you are in with visa. It's best to come here around
November to January period for some cold period. It's chilly over here with temperature around 12
degree. Which is right now around 15 out there. Cold winter clothing is needed during this period. Other
than that, normal clothes is ok.
Taxi here is running with meters. When you arrive at the airport, just go outside the airport and there
will be buses waiting for hotel customers and taxis queing. Just grab a taxi and you will be charged MOP
11 when you board the taxi. Additional luggage will cost you MOP 3 per baggage. From airport to town,
will cost you from MOP 60 till 80 depending where you stay. There is a not much of budget hotels
anymore in Macau, but you can still find some. For normal 3 star hotels cost you from MOP 400 ++ till
MOP 800 ++ a day depending on day. Normal Sunday is cheaper and the price will be escalating till
Thursday. From Friday onwards, it's steeper price and then on Saturday will be sky high of up to MOP
1400. So come on weekdays ok....

Buses taking you around will cost you MOP 2.50 per trip. Out of Macau to Coloane or Hak Sa / Taipa will
cost from MOP 3.3 till MOP 5. So it's quite cheap considering that Malaysian currency is around half of
MOP as same like HK currency. Meaning MOP 100 is around RM 95.
Just hop on a bus depending on where you want to go and remember to ask people for directions on
bus boarding. They understand Cantonese and Mandarin. So it's ok for Malaysians. Excess money that
you put into the fare box will render it void. So remember for small change. HK money is acceptable
everywhere as well. Better come here prepared with HK money as it's easier.

There is a lot of good eatries over here. But be prepared for some changes. Coffee is without sugar or
milk but will be served in another container. How you want your coffee taste, you just pour in your own
sugar and milk. It's quite cheap for people eating here but not for Malaysians. Just a packet of nasi
bungkus will cost you easily MOP 18 to 25. And it's salty as well as normally all Chinese from China is
acustomed to salty food. Better food cost easily from MOP 24 till 70 per meal per person. Depending on
what you order. Hotel food is of course more expensive. Just look for eatries. Mostly chinese restaurant.
Good western restaurant is available everywhere including Indian, Korean, Italian and more. These will
cost more from MOP 100 or more perperson. Steamboat buffet cheapest is MOP 50 ++ per person and
available in Taipa. Good restaurant as well.
Places nice to visit.
Casinos such as Sands, Wynn, Starworld Galaxy. Just visit this few casinos, others just don't bother as
they are peanut size. Visit Lisboa Hall of Shame for some girl beauty sightseeing. Price starts from MOP
800 till MOP 1200. (You know what I mean??? )

Other visits is such as Ruins of St Paul, etc etc. I don't visit much of these stuff. Boring..... But for good
night sight, go to Fisherman's Wharf at night armed with your cameras. Good place for pictures. Other
places is also ok.

Night life. Bex Cafe, Paradise Karaoke, MP3, and much more. The only disco in Macau is DD Disco.
Located just 1 block from Lisboa Casino. Don't go there around 10. No use. Go there around 3 am and
start partying till 7 in the morning. It's start heating up only around 2 in the morning. Teenagers over
here don't sleep very early. Culture around here. 2 sided, comes with a side for you to Chill to R & B and
hip hop. Trance and hard partying is in another side. You can just walk both sided. Just pay entrance fee
of MOP 100 to 150 depending on day.

A lot of places for buiscuit and good eating stuff. Macau most famous is near Hak Sa. Selling portuguse
egg tart starting from MOP 6 per piece. Yeah.. It's damn expensive. Just 2 will fill you up as it's loaded
with butter and it's flaky as well. But it's good and fresh. Oven finished and it's snapped up within
minutes as customers line up to buy them.

Anymore???
Well discover Macau yourself.

Is it possible if I can rely only on public transport?

Venetian-COD, walk across the street.

Take shuttle bus from Venetian/COD to Galaxy. Then take shuttle bus from Galaxy to Senado.
Walk up to St Paul. All FOC

Never been to the museum so no idea but i guess just few minutes taxi ride from senado square.
