As for our first day in Macau, we booked a trip via TripAdvisor. So, by the time our ferry arrived at Macau, our tour guide, Marco was already waiting for us there. We joined a group of other people and took a bus. Here's the list of the places we visited:
- Venetian Macao (the biggest casino in Macau)
- Macau Tower
- Pastelaria Koi Kei (where we bought their famous Portugese Egg Tarts)
- Sarado Square
- A-Ma Temple
- Na Tcha Temple
- Ruins of St Paul (the main attraction that really brought me to Macau, I've seen it from the famous Korean drama series, Princess Hours)
- HRC (we went here by ourselves, it wasn't included in the tour)
It was a very interesting experience going into the casino. Before we were allowed to enter, they will check our passport. Since we visited early in the morning, the casino was quite empty but there were still people gambling. At first, we were afraid that people were going to stare at us (since we are wearing hijab), but apart from the guards at the entrance, everybody just minding their own business (for sure they need to focus fully on their game). We went in for only about ten minutes. The casino was also a shopping mall.
We went to Macau Tower (338m) next. If you are feeling adventurous enough, you could try bungee jumping from the tower. We watched a few people jumped and Marco told us the more women jumped compared to men. There's also a glass walkway and since I have a little fear of height, I walked as fast as I could through it and minimized my looked down. And then we visited all the places listed above (sorry, I couldn't provide the exact details since I forgotten most of them, huhu..)
From HRC,we took a bus ride to our hotel. Our hotel in Macau is so much better even luxurious compared to our hotel in Hong Kong! We freshened up a little and we went out again for dinner and souvenir shopping. Actually our hotel is in the same area as Sarado Square. So we revisited back the places we went earlier and watched the night version. We did all these on foot since it was in walking distance from our hotel.

Our last day, we visited Macau Science Center and as you can guest we spent almost three hours here! The center is very large and it offers many interactive exhibitions! It is a very great and interesting place to visit. If you are a fan of science, this is a must visit for you. In order to get there we took a bus. We need to walk a little bit to the nearest bus station from our hotel. After the center, we went back to the hotel to take our already packed bags and took a taxi to the airport.
