Macau Happenings

[CaptainDragon]

Jinsha and alisan ktv are hot so far that I know, any bro visited all top ktv at zhuhai recently shud able compare n feedback, alisan model need RMB1500. Suggest go changping better for ktv as price cheaper with quantity more. CP Ouya or Mayflower better than any zhuhai ktv from my view.
if no choice canot go CP, then settle any zhuhai ktv. Xmas come soon, bar street pub will happening, Soho pub now is hottest n newest there. Western music techno, plus live camera focus customers display ur face on stage screen, nice shot!

Bro, I second your experience. Had been to Macau several times and everytime go Sanado. They got also Wetnam massage girls that do a great job on the massage and also hand job when U buy extended hours (cant remember price liao, I think is like 3 hr for 688 or something). Any bros can confirm the price?

Just a newbie question: it seems better to buy MOP than HKD because the exchange rate of MOP is much higher than HKD (e.g today MOP 6.14, HKD 5.96). However in local money changer they are almost the same (the one I tried MOP 5.94, HKD 5.93).

So what do bros here usually do? Buy HKD and change them to MOP in Macau, or use HKD all the way?

i dun know abt macau ... but in HKIA, they will not do that ....
either u take it or leave it ...
it's the same as in SG too ....
once i saw a chinese lady at duty free shop and uses rmb for her purchase ..
the counter gal told her that she will only return change in S$ .. but at least she uses exchange rate becoz there's a great different ...
HKD and rmb r abt 10% different now ... they won't even bother abt the exchange rate especially at the restaurants in HKIA ...

bro .... i think u better asked before u make any purchases ...
as far as i know especially taxi driver .. if u reached the destination and request for same currency return, i am pretty sure it's not going to happen and u r in a non-compromise position at that instant ...
purchasing in the shop is okay becoz u can choose not to buy ...
but if u have taken ur food in the restaurant, then again, u r in a non-compromise situation ...
so my advice is better ask first ... dun take things for granted ...
if it's accepted somewhere, doesn't mean it accepted everywhere ...

In hk, they make it clear up front that rmb is 1:1 with hk dollars most of the time. They will use the take it or leave it attitube. But why would anyone wants to use rmb when hk dollar is so easy to get?!


In Macau, the. Most common use currency should be HKD. Only the local use MOP, the exchange rate between these 2 is not much diff.. But I would advise use HKD cause when u change back to sing later the rates will be much much better than MOP. Cause no ppl uses MOP the money changer will have a hard time selling them, so they tends to charge higher rate. Whereas HKD is more widely used and u can get better rates anywhere anytime.

For the shortchange, it mostly happen with taxi drivers and small shop in Macau. Big shop and restaurant mostly no problem. The lose is not much to us, just that no happy with the dirty tactic used lOh... Common among taxi driver around the world.. Even in casino, they have different chips for MOP n HKD. Haha.
