Macau Tips:
1. Don't forget to try out the delicious egg tarts in Macau - the most famous I think are the ones from Pastelaria Koi Kei (since I saw a lot of people carrying boxes of egg tarts from that store).  Or you can   search for "Tea Plus" near Ruins of St. Paul.  Tea Plus is one of the location for the Korea novela "Boys Over Flowers". It is where we got our egg tarts and the Boys Over Flowers theme song is playing while we were eating our egg tarts. It's really cool! :-)

2. Free samples of beef jerky

3. You can ride the different hotel shuttles in Macau in order to save and explore the city for free. 

4. If you're coming in to Macau by ferry, there are a lot of tour guides waiting outside the ferry terminal, some of them are Filipinos.  You can bargain the rate and tell them if you have an itinerary already.  Most often, they would give some suggestions and can also give you discounts on some shows that you may want to watch.

5. Some memberships on the casinos are free if you register.  They give you a membership card that can also be your souvenir.
