The longest trip will be from Macau island to Coloane island (Coloane is kind of remote, more green and relatively less populated) which would cost under 200 MOP.

I pity you to have to hear that name that often

is indian food easily available?

for the non-gambler, there are some adventure sports like bungy jumping :P .. but the city itself shines .. its a very good destination for a one day trip.. the casinos are worth visiting.. especially the Venetian !!

benny,

i found some taxi drivers who could manage some basic English.. i thnk the bus transport in the city is some what decent, but the frequency suffers a bit..

Yup, but it depends on your luck. So it is always better to carry a map with your spot marked on it.

In case you know the location, you can always manage with 'chic hoi' (Ask NOV & NOM about it :P )

spent 4 days in macau/hong kong with Thamizhvaanan for company.
visited lots of holy places and indulged in lots of meditation.

will write abt our experiences one day.... sooner if anyone here is going there any time soon.

food will be a problem to those who are not exposed to chinese cooking. 90% of the food has either pork or beef.
