Even Macau is small like your hometown, but remembers, you
may lose when you walked one place to another. Because the building are much closed.
Even the official language is Portuguese, but they are speaking in Chinese.
Currency for Spending
They are using Macau Pataca (MOP). Hong Kong Dollar (HK$) and
China Yuan (Y) are accepted but worthless. The value of Pataca are less than HK$ and Yuan. So, u may
changed it at Bureau De Change. The prices are the same.. not too cheap or expensive.
Here we go……..

 |
| so this is...... the icon of Macau! |
 |
| Don't feel lose. This is the place where the center of bus stop. All the buses will stop here either from Taipa or Colone. |
 |

 |
| Good night Macau.. |
 |
| you may sleep here and you are not alone... |
 |
| this is bus No.36. You need to wait the bus API for Airport - Peninsular route |
ALERT! whenever you want to moved out from Macau and go to China mainland or else, please change to US Dollar or China Yuan . Firstly, there is no bureau De Change in China. however, you need to go to bank to exchange the banknotes. The banks in China operating everyday. The Macau Pataca are 'priceless' in China. They will give you 5 Yuans for 40 Patacas. Its totally worst.
 |
| my Pataca cannot be change in ABC (Agriculture Bank of China). So, I decide to change SGD to RMB. Phewhhhh... |
Points to Ponder:
1. The signboard mostly in Chinese - Portuguese – English. But
they speak Chinese widely
2. 3 different banks providing the banknotes. Don’t confuse.
The value is based on banknote colors.
3. Inform to the bus driver and show the picture of places
to go. He will inform you later.
4. Be ready the coins or small amount of money when u used a
bus.
5. THERE IS NO Visa
on Arrival (VOA) whenever you want to go to Zhuhai / Guagdong.
6. There is no
backpack guesthouse except luxury hotels. Sleeping in the airport are welcomes
7. They attract the rich people to play Casino& provide
luxury suites as their income
8. Please bring the
map. If not, possible you will lose. Ahaa…
9. The only one places you can see the combination of Chinese
and western concrete.
