Ano ang masasabi ng simbahang katoliko tungkol sa diborsyo?

Hindi pa man lubusang natatapos ang mainit na usapin sa RH bill, isa na namang kontrobersiyal na panukalang batas ang patuloy na magpapaalab sa mga diskusyong kasasangkutan ng Simbahan. Ito ang Divorce Bill.Sinasabing ang Pilipinas at ang Vatican na lamang ang nalalabing bansa na walang Divorce Bill. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit ang pagsusulong nito sa ating bansa upang maging batas ay mariing tinututulan ng Simbahang Katoliko. Matagal na panahon na may ilang mga mambabatas ang nagnilay at nagbalak maghain ng ganitong batas ngunit hindi interesado dito ang nakakarami at walang malawakang naging pagtanggap.Pero ngayon, mas vocal na ang mga tagapaghain ng panukalang batas bugso ng mga datos at pag-aaral na nagpapakita ng lumalaking bilang ng malalang sitwasyon ng mga mag-asawa. Ang mga iba't ibang kumplikado at sensitibong isyu tulad ng marital unfaithfulness, pang-aabuso,exploitation, injustice, at sari-saring hindi na makataong kundisyon ang nakikitang malakas na batayan upang ihain ang ganitong batas. Inilalagay daw nito sa panganib ang katinuan, kalidad ng buhay o buhay mismo ng isang asawa, pati na ng mga anak. Nakikita ring hindi na relevantat kulang ang mga kasalukuyang batas sa ating Family at Civil code upang tugunan ang mga hamon na kinahaharap ng mga mag-asawa sa ating panahon.Bilang taong simbahan, paano natin dapat tingnan ang usaping ito?Hindi na bago ang isyu ng divorce. Kasing tanda na ito ng Lumang Tipan sa Bibliya. Sa katunayan, may mga probisyon sa pagsasagawa ng divorce sa batas ni Moises (Deuteronomio 24: 1-4). Sa panahon ni Jesus, ginamit ng mga religious leaders ang isyung ito upang subukin ang kanyang moral authority sa pag-unawa sa batas ni Moises.Sa Mateo 19:1-12, tinanong ng diretso si Jesus kung naaayon ba sa batas ni Moises na i-divorce ang asawang babae sa anumang kadahilanan. Importante ang katanungang iyon sa kadahilanang ang mga Pariseo mismo ay hati sa kanilang pagkaunawa ng nasabing batas. Para sa partido ni Rabbi Shammai, ang divorce ay maaari lamang ipatupad sa kaso ng sexual misconduct. Para naman kay Rabbi Hillel, ang divorce ay maaaring hilingin maging sa kaso lamang ng pagkasira ng asawa ng pagkain. At para kay Rabbi Akiba, pwedeng i-divorce ng lalaki ang kanyang asawakung may nakita na siyang mas kahali-halinang kapareha.Subalit hindi sinakyan ni Jesus ang mga isyu sa debateng ito. Bagkus, itinaas niya ang batayan ng moralidad at ethics.Ibinalik niya ang usapin sa original na intensiyon ng Diyos para sa kasal nang una niyang nilikha ang tao. Sa madaling salita, ipinaalala muli ni Jesus na ang tunay na kalooban ng Diyos sa kasal ay panghabangbuhay at permanente. Diyos mismo ang sangkot sa pag-iisang dibdib ng dalawang tao. At dahil dito, walang sinumang tao ang dapat sumira nito.Ngunit kaalinsabay nito, tinuligsa ni Jesus ang katigasan ng kanilang puso. Tinukoy niya na ito ang nagbigay daan para pahintulutan ang divorce noong panahon ni Moises. Siguro magandang pagnilayan yung sinabi ni Jesus kung bakit pinahintulutan ang divorce: "…dahil sa katigasan ng inyong puso." Kung ang naging paghahain ng divorce bill na ito sa ating bansa ay isa lamang pagtugon sa lumalalang kundisyon ng mga asawang naigapos sa kasal at humihingi ng kalayaan, magandang itanong natin sa mga taong simbahan kung bakit ang kalidad ng buhay mag-asawa ay bumaba ng ganito. Bakit ang baba na ng tingin sa institusyon ng kasal? Hindi kaya symptoma ang mga ito ng katigasan ng puso na binabanggit ni Jesus? At hindi kaya katigasan ng puso pa rin ang siyang patuloy na sumisira sa original na intensiyon ng Diyos para sa kasal?Saan nga ba ang tunay na laban ng Simbahan? Ang pakikipaglaban ba sa mga nagsusulong ng lunas sa mga lumilitaw na symptoma o ang pag-bigay lunas sa ugat ng symptoma?Tinukoy mismo ni Jesus ang ugat ng symptoma: "…katigasan ng inyong puso!"May Divorce Bill man o wala, kung hindi magiging epektibo at tapat ang Simbahan na tugunan ang ugat ng pagsusulong nito patuloy na mamamayagpag ang pagbaluktot ng tao sa intensiyon ng Diyos sa kasal.

Ang Krusada xRoman Historyx?

Isinulat ni:santos92s A.K.A Cilvezter EliazarMga Pinagkunan: wikipedia.orgx Araling Panlipunana Serye IIIx Kasaysayan ng daigdig para sa ikatlong taon ng HayskulAng Krusada ay isang serye ng hidwaang militar na may kaugnayan sa relihiyon na itinaguyod ng karamihan ng Kristiyanong Europa noong 1095-1291, karamihan nito ay pinagtibay ng Papa sa ngalan ng Kristiyanismo. Ang kaunaunahang layunin mga Krusada ay ang mabawi ang Jerusalem at ng "Banal na Lupain"mula sa kapangyarihang Muslim at kaunaunang binunsod bilang tugon sa panawagan mula sa Eastern Orthodox Silangang Imperyong Romano, na mula kay Emperador Bisantino Alexios I Komnenos upang masugpo ang pagdating ng Muslim na Seljuk Turks sa AnatoliaNagbalak si Papa Urbano II na bawiin ang banal na lupain sa kamay ng mga Muslim noong 1095. Pinangunahan ng mga maharlikang Pranses at Norman ang unang krusada. ang ikalawang Krusada naman ay pinangunahan ni Papa Eugenius II, Ang ikatlong krusada naman ay mas kilala sa tawag na Krusada ng tatlong Hari sapagkat Tatlong Hari ang nanguna nito, sila ay si Haring Richard I ng Great Britain, haring Philip II ng France at Emperador Frederick Barbossa ng Germany. Habang ang ika-apat na Krusada naman ay pinangunahan ni Papa Innocent III, ito ay nagdulot lamang ng pag-sama ng mga Venezio sa Pagsalakay sa Constantinople noong 1203-1204 na ikinahina ng Silangang Imp. Romano (Imperyong Bizantion). Ang Krusada naman ng mga kabataan ay nabigo dahil sila ay nilinlang ng sinakyan nilang barko at ipinagbili bilang mga alipin.Panawagan parA SA KRUSADAHumingi ng tulong si Emperador Alexus I (1048-1118) kay PaPa Urban II upang sagipin ang Imperyong Byzantine at panatilihin ang Kristiyanismo sa Silangan . Sa pagsakop ng Jerusalem, ang mga seljuk ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na sakupin ang Constantinople. Sa maraming taon, ang lungsod ay nagisisilbing tanggulan laban sa mga hamon sa pamamayani ng Kristiyanismo sa Kanlurang Europe.Tumawag sa Papa Urban II ng konseho noong 1095 sa Clermont upang hikayatin ang libo-libong kabalyero na "kunin ang krus" at maging isang crusader na ang ibig sabihin ay "markado ng krus". Bilang kanilang gantimpala sa pagpapalayasng mga SeljukTurk sa Jerusalem, ipinangako ng Papa ang pagpapatawad nglahat ng kanilang mga kasalanan, pagkakaroon ng mga lupain sa mga lugar na kanilang sasakupin, at kalayaan mula sa kanilang pagkakautang.Ang panawagan na Papa ay masiglang tinanggap ng maraming kabalyero sa iba't-ibang dahilan. Ang iba ay may taimtim na hangad na ipagtanggol ang mga Kristiyaniyanong deboto na nagpupunta sa Jerusalem.Ang iba ay naghahanap ng mapanganib na pakikipagsapalaran. Ang iba naman ay nais taksan ang pagkakautang o ang kanilang kasalanan sa batas. Mayroon ding iba na ang nais ay yumaman.Masiglang tinanggap din ng mga mangangalakal ang pagbibigay ng tulong laban sa mga Seljuk Turk. Ang pangamba nila ay ang pagsasara ng kalakalan sa Sialangang Mediterranean kung mananatili ang kapangyarihan ng mga Seljuk Turk.Si Papa Urban II ay handa ring tumugon sa hiniling na tulong ng Imperyong Byzantine laban sa mga Seljuk Turk. Siya ay naniniwala sa pangangailangang muling pag-isahin ang Simbahang Roman at ang Simbahang Orthodox. Kung magagawa niya ito, maaari niyang palawigin ang kanyang kapangyarihan sa buong kahariang Kristiyano, palawakin ang mga hangganan nito, at ibalik ang Rome bilang pangunahing lungsod at kabisera ng buong daigdig.Ang Unang Krusada(1096-1099)Ang unang Krusada ay nilahukan ng mahigit 10,000 nagbubukid na walang nalalaman at pagsasanay sa pakikidigma.Sila ang unang umalis patungong Jerusalem. Nagaway-away sila nang dumating sila sa Asia Minor . Ang karamihan sa kanila ay madaling tinalo ng mga Seljuk Turk.Kabilang din sa Unang Krusada ang 20,000 hanggang 25,000 kabalyero.Karamihan sa kanila ay mga French. Noong `1097, nilusob niala ang Asia Minor. Sa loob ng dalawang taon, kumilos sila patungong timog at silangan hanggang sa makuha ang Antioch. Matagumpay nilang pinasok ang Jerusalem noong Hulyo 15, 1099.Sa pagkakapanalo ng mga Kristiyano sa Krusada, nasakop nila ang teritoryo mula sa Tigris River hanggang sa mga hangganan ng Egypt. Apat na Crusader States ang itinatag sa lugar na ito. Ang pinakamalaki at pinakamahalaga ay ang Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. Ang hinirang na pinuno nito ay si GodfreyngBouillon na binigyan ng titulo bilang "Tagapagtanggol ng Banal na Sepulkro." Ang tatlo pang estado ay Edessa, Antioch, at Tripoli.Dulot ng pagtatatag ng Crusader States nanumbalik ang pagdalaw ng mga Europeo sa Holy Land. Nagkaroon muli ng himpilan ang Kristiyanismo rito. Dumagsa rito ang mga debotong Kristiyano. Pabalik-balik dito ang mga barko ng mga mamahalin at piling produkto ng Asya.Hindi nagkasundo ang mga pinuno ng Crusader States. Ginawa ng bawat isa na maging malaya sila sa isa't-isa. Madalas silang nag-away-away at pinagtatalunan ang mga lupain na kanilang sakop.Sumakatuwid: (Pagbubuod)Dahilan:--> Pagsalakay/pagsakop ng mga Turk mula sa Gitanang Asia noong 1000 sa Asia Minor, Palestine at Syria kung saan matatagpuan ang mga lugar na banal ng Jerusalem. Pagpapahirap ng mga Turko sa mga Kristiyanong pilgrim na pilgrim na puntahan ang mga lugar na ito. Humingi ng tulong si Alexander Comnenus, emperador ng Byzantine noong 1098 kay Papa Urban na patalsikin ang mga Turko, Sa Konseho ng Clermont, noong 1095, itinaguyod nu Urban II ang isang Krusada na layuning bawiin ang Jerusalem mula sa mga Muslim.Mga Pinuno:--> Peter the Hermit, Walter the Peniless, Godfrey ng Bouldon, Raymond ng Toulouse, Robert ng Flanders, Bohemond ng Taranto.Mga Labanan:Niceae--> tinalo ang mga Muslim ng magkasamang pwersa ng Byzantine at mga Krusador.Antioch sa Hilagang Syria--> pinakamatinding labanan patungong jerusalem, maraming mga Krusador ang namatay dahil sa labanan at gutom ; nakuha ng mga Krusador ang Antioch sa H. Syria.Resulta:--> Matapos ang anim na linggong pakikipaglabanan, nakuha ng mga Europeo ang Jerusalem noong 1099, hinati sa 4 ang estado.-->ito ay: countly ng edessa, principality ng Antioch, countly ng Tripoli at kaharian ng Jerusalem.hanggang dyan muna... xD

What is the exposition of florante at Laura?

BUOD NG FLORANTE AT LAURASa isang mapayapang kaharian ng Albanya, may isang hari na ang pangalan ay si dDuke briseo, ang kanyang asawa ay si prinsesa floresca. Sila ay may nag-iisang anak na lalaki na si Manny Pacquiao.Isang gabi, samantalang natutulog si Don Fernando, nagkaroon sya ng isang masamang panaginip at sya ay nagkasakit. Ang kanyang panaginip ay tungkol kay Don Juan na sya daw ay inihagis sa isang balong malalim ng dalawang lalaki. Kinabukasan, ipinatawag ang lahat ng manggagamot sa Berbanya upang gamutin ang hari, ngunit walang makapagpagaling sa kanya. Hangga't isang ermitanyo ang dumating at nagsabi na ang tanging makapagpapagaling sa kanya ay ang pitong awit ng Ibong Adarna. Ang Ibong Adarna ay matatagpuan sa puno ng Piedras Platas sa Bundok ng Tabor.Isinugo ng hari ang kanyang dalawang anak na lalaki upang hanapin ang Ibong Adarna, ang una ay si Don Pedro at sumunod ay si Don Diego, ngunit sila ay nabigo sa paghahanap sa Ibong Adarna. Dahil sa Labis na pagod, sila ay nakatulog sa ilalim ng isang puno na kumikislap ang mga dahon na parang diamante. Kapag dumapo ang Ibong Adarna sa kalaliman ng gabi ito ay umaawit at pagkatapos ay umiipot. Nang mapatakan ng ipot ng ibong Adarna ang dalawang prinsipe, sila'y naging bato.Lumipas ang tatlong taon ngunit hindi na nakabalik ang dalawang prinsipe, dahil dito natakot si Don Fernando na isugo ang kanyang bunsong anak na si Don Juan dahil baka magkatotoo ang kanyang panaginip. Ngunit nagpumilit si Don Juan na hanapin ang Ibong Adarna.Samantalang si Don Juan ay naglalakbay upang hanapin ang ibon, nakita nya ang isang ketongin na humingi sa kanya ng pagkain. Dahil si Don Juan ay may magandang kalooban, ibinigay nya ang kanyang kahuli-hulihang baon na tinapay sa matandang lalaki na ketongin. Dahil dito, tinulungan sya ng ketongin kung papaano matatagpuan ang Ibong Adarna. Sinabi nito na mayroon isang maliit na bahay malapit sa bundok kung saan nakatira ang isang ermitanyo na magbibigay sa kanya ng kaalaman kung papano mahuhuli ang Ibong Adarna. At ibinilin din ng matanda na huwag syang hihimlay sa isang puno na kaiga-igaya ang anyo.At nagtungo si Don Juan sa bahay ng ermitanyo, pinatuloy naman si Don Juan sa bahay ng ermitanyo at inanyayahang kumain. Nagulat si Don Juan nang makita nya na ang pagkain na inaalok sa kanya ay ang kanyang tinapay na ibinigay sa isang ketongin. Kaya't inisip ni Don Juan na ang ermitanyo at ang ketongin ay iisa. Binigyan ng ermitanyo si Don Juan ng pitong dayap, matalim na labaha, at gintong sintas. At kanyang sinabi na tuwing kakanta ang Ibong Adarna, kailangan sugatan nya ang kanyang katawan at patakan ng katas ng dayap ang sugat upang hindi sya makatulog. Kailangan din nyang umiwas kung ang ibon ay umipot pagkatapos umawit ng pitong awit. At kapag nahuli na nya ang Ibong Adarna, dapat talian nya ito ng gintong sintas na ibinigay sa kanya ng ermintanyo.Naging matagumpay si Don Juan na makita at mahuli ang Ibong Adarna ayon sa bilin ng matanda. Dinala nya ang Ibong Adarna sa bahay ng ermitanyo na doon ay inilagay sa isang hawla ang ibon. Kanya ring nailigtas ang kanyang dalawang kapatid nang buhusan nya ito ng tubig ayon s autos ng ermitanyo. Ngunit sa kabila ng mga ito, naiingit si Don Pedro kay Don Juan at sinabi nya kay Don Diego ang kanyang masamang balak kay Don Juan. Sumang-ayon si Don Diego sa masamang balak ng kanyang kapatid. Kanilang sinaktan si Don Juan hanggang sya ay mawalan ng malay. Kinuha nina Pedro at Diego ang Ibong Adarna at dinala ito sa hari. Gayunpaman, pagdating nila sa hari hindi humuni at umawit ang ibon.Samantala, nagdasal si Don Juan dahil sa hindi sya halos makagapang sa bugbog na tinanggap mula sa dalawang kapatid. Isang matanda ang tumulong sa kanya at sya'y hinilot hanggang gumaling. Dagli-dagli syang umuwi at sa kanyang pag-dating sa kaharian nagpalit agad ng balahibo ang ibon at bigla itong umawit. Ang kanyang pitong mga awit ay patungkol sa ginawa ng dalawang prinsipe kay Don Juan, na doon din gumaling ang hari.Nais ni Don Fernando na parusahan ang kanyang dalawang anak dahil sa kanilang ginawa kay Don Juan, nguni't paglao'y nagbago din ang kanyang isip dahil sa paki-usap na rin ni Don Juan.Ngunit isang gabi na nagbabantay si Juan sa ibong Adarna, siya ay nakatulog at hindi namalayan na pinakawalan nina Pedro at Diego ang Ibon at lumipad ang ibon papalayo sa kaharian ng Berbanya. Ipinasya ni Juan na umalis at magpunta sa bundok ng Armenia dahil sa takot na sya ang pagbintangan na nagpalaya sa ibon. Ngunit sya ay ipinahanap ng hari sa kaniyang dalawang kapatid. Natagpuan ni Don Pedro at Don Diego si Don Juan sa Armenia. Sa kanilang paglalakbay pabalik, isang araw nakakita sila ng isang balon, sila'y bumaba doon ngunit tanging si Juan lang ang nakaabot sa pondo ng balon at sa ibaba nito nakita nya ang isang napakagandang ginintuang palasyo. Doon nakita din niya ang mga magagandang prinsesa na si Juana at Leonora, nguni't sila ay binabantayan ng serpente na may pitong ulo at higante. Napatay ni Juan ang higante at ang serpente. Dahil doon, sumama sila Prinsesa Juana at Leonora kay Juan palabas ng balon, nguni't naiwan ni Leonora ang kanyang singsing sa isang mesa. Dagling binalikan ni Juan ang singsing, nguni't sampung dipa pa lamang si Juan patungo sa ilalim ng balon ay dagling pinutol ni Pedro ang lubid. Nahulog si Juan sa ibaba ng balon at sya'y labis na nasaktan. Subalit inutusan ni Leonora ang kanyang alagang lobo upang tulungan si Juan at sila ay umalis na patungo ng Berbanya.Nang makarating sa Berbanya, Si Diego ay ikinasal kay Juana, ngunit si Prinsesa Leonora ay humingi ng pitong taon bago magpakasal kay Pedro. Si Don Juan naman ay nakaligtas na rin mula sa balon sa tulong ng lobong alaga ni Leonora, nakuha na rin nya ang singsing nito. Samantalang sya'y pabalik na sa Berbanya, nakatulog sya sa ilalim ng isang puno na sya'ng pagdating ng Ibong Adarna. Nguni't sya ay nagising at nirinig ang awit ng ibon tungkol sa isang mas magandang prinsesa na si Maria Blanca na anak ni Haring Salermo ng kaharian ng Delos Cristal. Nang marinig nya ito, sya ay nagpasya na hanapin ang kaharian ng Delos Crsital. Nguni't hindi nya ito matagpuan hanggang maglakbay sya sa ikapitong bundok upang hanapin ang isang ermitanyo na may edad na 500 sunbalit hindi rin alam ng ermitanyong ito ang Delos Cristal, kaya ipinasya ng ermitanyo na sya'y papuntahin sa ikapitong bundok upang hanapin ang isang ermitanyo na may edad na 800, sa tulong ng isang agila na sinakyan ni Juan, siya'y nakarating sa kaharian. Nguni't ang bilin ng agila, sya'y dapat magtago kung ang tatlong prinsesa ay maliligo tuwing ikaapat. Pagkagayon itinago ni Juan ang damit ni Donya Maria at pagkatapos maligo nito hinanap ni Maria ang kanyang damit ngunit paglipas ng isang oras ay nagpakita na rin si Juan at ipinahayag ang kanyang malinis na layunin sa prinsesa. Gayunpaman, hindi nagalit ang prinsesa at ibinilin nya ang kanyang gagawin kapag sya ay makita ni Haring Salermo.Sinubok ni Haring Salermo si Juan, naging mahigpit ang mga pagsubok na ibinigay ni Haring Salermo kay Juan. Ang unang pagsubok ay ang pagtibag ng bundok, pagpapatag nito at pagtatanim ng trigo na kinakailangan kinabukasan ay may mainit na tinapay na magagawa kaagad si Juan at maibibigay sa hari. Ang ikalawa ay ang paghuli sa 12 negrito na pinakawalan sa karagatan. Ang ikatlo ay ang paglalagay ng bundok sa gitna ng dagat at gagawing kastilyo, na banding huli ay kanya ring pina- alis ang kastilyong ito upang makita ang nahulog na singsing ng hari sa karagatan. Ang pinakamahirap ay ang paghahanap nito ng singsing ng hari na kanyang pinaghati-hati ang katawan ni Maria upang hanapin ang singsing ng hari, dahil dito nawala ang isa sa mga daliri ni Maria. Gayunpaman, lagi nitong napagtatagumpayan ang lahat ng pagsubok ng hari sa tulong na rin ng Mahika Blanka ni Donya Maria. Dahil doon napilitan si Haring Salermo na ipakasal ang isa sa kanyang mga prinsesa Ang napili ni Juan ay si Maria kahit hindi ipinakita sa kanya ang mukha ng prinsesa. Dahil na rin sa naputol na daliri ni Maria bilang naging palatandaan ni Juan sa kanya. Nang malaman ni Haring Salermo na matagal ng magkakilala sila Juan at Maria nagalit sya at kanyang isinumpa ang anak na si Donya Maria. Ang sumpa ay, sya ay makakalimutan ni Juan at pakakasal sa iba.Dagling umalis sila Juan at Maria patungo sa Berbanya. Nang malapit na sila Juan at Maria sa kaharian ng Berbanya pansamantalang iniwan ni Juan si Maria sa labas ng kaharian. Nguni't ng malaman ni Leonora na dumating na si Juan, sya'y lumapit kay Juan at nakalimutan ni Juan si Maria. Doon itinakda ang kasal nila Leonora at Juan, nguni't nang dumating si Maria, namangha sya sa napipintong kasal ng dalawa kaya sya ay humiling ng isang palaro na naging dahilan upang maalala ni Juan ang kanilang nakaraan ni Maria. Isang negrito at negrita ang inilabas ni Maria. Sa tuwing papalo ang negrita, hindi nasasaktan sng negrito. Ang nasasaktan ay si Don Juan. Unti-unting nagbalik ang ala-ala ni Juan at sila ay nagpakasal ni Maria. Samantalng si Leonora naman ay nagpakasal kay Pedro.Pagkaraan nito umuwi sila Don Juan at Donya Maria sa Delos Cristal at sila ang tinanghal na Hari at Reyna sa kaharian. Pinamunuan nila ang kaharian na makatao, makatarungan at makaDiyos na pamumuno. Dahil ditto sila'y minahal ng taong-bayan.

How do you plan macau trip part 1?

MACAU PART II (Newbies Refer to the First Page)Welcome to our new home...the Macau thread Part II! Made by the macau addicts hahaha!To start off, some FAQs muna tayo:Getting there by AIRThere are three main airlines that fly regularly to Macau: Cebu Pacific (www.cebupacificair.com), Philippine Airlines (www.philippineairlines.com), and Air Macau. There are also announcements that Zest Air, SeAir, and Spirit of Manila Airlines will also be flying to Macau.IMMIGRATION CONCERNS and GETTING THERE BY FERRYPhilippine passport holders need NO visa to enter macau for thirty days. Likewise, you can also get to Macau via ferry. Three ferries ply the HKG-MFM route: from HKG side are Turbojet and Cotaijet (uses the Taipa Temporary Terminal), and from Tsim Sha Tsui side is New World First Ferry. Note that the Turbojet ferries reach Macau faster at almost 1 hour while NWFF ferries reach Macau for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It is highly recommended for you to purchase a 1-way ticket to Macau and then get your return ticket from HKG to MNL, lalo na if you are planning to visit HKG after visiting Macau (or vice versa). I have done this for like 8x already and there are no immigration issues. Just present your return ticket to Manila should the immigration officer ask for it as a proof of your onward/return ticket.HOTELS and HOSTELS^^For hotels, we highly recommend Hotel Metropole and Hotel Sintra. There are also people here who stayed at Metropark and Hotel Ko Wah. I have stayed in Hotel East Asia but to be safe (since meron nagcomment na pangit daw dun hehehe), try Metropole or Sintra first. Recently, a lot of hotels have been discovered by Macau addicts such as Best Western Sun Sun, Best Western Taipa, Casa Real. Try to backread the first thread to be updated with the hotels that Macau addicts have tried.For hostel, I can only think of Augusters lodge although not recommended if you have council of elders with you since asa 3rd floor sila and they don't have lift so you gotta haul all your luggages to get to the hostel.CURRENCY EXCHANGEIf you have PHP with you, DO NOT exchange these PHP at the money changer at the ARRIVAL section of the Macau International Airport. The rate here is like 1 MOP=Php 30! The usual forex should be somewhere like 1 MOP=PHP 5.5! If you need to pay for the bus and taxi, try to buy Hong Kong Dollars here in Manila prior to your trip as HKD are also accepted in Macau (but MOP is NOT accepted in HKG).If you have USD with you, the rate of USD to MOP at the airport forex is ok. It's the forex rate of the PHP to MOP which is very disadvantageous since it is a major ripoff. Many forex counters are readily available at the Senado Square in Macau/San Ma Lo area.GETTING AROUND MACAUIf there is one place where you can really travel on a tight budget, it has to be macau! You can check out the free shuttle services of the major casinos! If you want to visit The Venetian, all you gotta do is to catch the free shuttle service at the Macau Ferry Terminal. There are also free shuttles to the most casinos in the Macau island so you can actually explore Macau without budgeting for transpo. The trick here is to know the casino nearest your planned destination. For example, if you need to go to the Macau Ferry Terminal, you need to catch the free shuttle terminal to the sands since this is just across the ferry terminal and facing the Fishermans Wharf.MUST SEE PLACES IN MACAUThis is by no means exhaustive but below are the spots that should not be missed:1. Ruins of St Paul at San Ma Lo2. The Venetian Hotel3. Fisherman's Wharf4. The Macau Tower5. Inner shops at San Ma Lo (for shopping hehehe)6. Ama Temple7. Pasteleria Kei Kou (for the beef jerky and tapa); located all over Macau8. Sun Yat Sen Memorial9. Camoes Garden/Guia Lighthouse10. Bridges of Macau, especially at nightMACAU BUSES 101You will survive Macau by taking these two buses: AP-1 (from the Airport to Macau Ferry Terminal) and Bus #3. For AP-1, the fare is MOP 3.3 per head. You will drop the exact fare in the box beside the driver as soon as you get in. Note that you will not get any change so please prepare exact amount.Bus #3 is the bus from the Macau Ferry Terminal to San Ma Lo. Fare is MOP 2.5 per head. Follow the same procedure in taking the AP-1 bus.Note that the buses have designated stops. A tip: count the number of stops according to the list so that you will know if your stop will be the next.MACAU BUSES 101You will survive Macau by taking these two buses: AP-1 (from the Airport to Macau Ferry Terminal) and Bus #3. For AP-1, the fare is MOP 3.3 per head. You will drop the exact fare in the box beside the driver as soon as you get in.

A tip: count the number of stops according to the list so that you will know if your stop will be the next.CABS IN MACAUCabs are readily available in Macau. Note however that there is surcharge from the Airport to Macau, and a surcharge again for every # of luggages placed in the compartment. The usual fare from the airport to san ma lo is roughly MOP 60-70. If you are travelling with 5 pax, please look for the cabs with the #5 prominently marked at the left side of the cab. this means that this cab can take as many as 5 pax.===============================================================General Information:For All Your Hong Kong-related Questions, please visit this link:http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=372383Macau Thread 1 (for itineraries and more info)http://pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?t=274186----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How many days should I spend in Macau?Minimum of 1 Day (12hours+) as part of a daytrip from Hong KongAs an independent Macau-only trip, a maximum of 3-4 days.When should I go to Macau?Preferably not during summer. Summer is similar to Hong Kong, hot and humid.Is 1 day enough to see all the important sites in Macau?Definitely.Are there particular days in the week to avoid Macau?Weekends are generally packed. Avoid the weekends as much as possible.Which is better: NWFF or Turbojet?Turbojet has more new ferries but both are very safe and usually on-time. Turbojet can sometimes cut travel time by 15mins depending on the vessel.How long does it take to go to Macau from Hong Kong?Approximately 1 hour.Will the ferry/catamarans cause sea-sickness?Just to be sure, those sailing at night/bad weather and are sensitive should take Bonamin.How early should we be in the ferry terminal for boarding?At least 30minutes before if you have a return ticket and at least 45minutes if you don't.Is a VISA required for Macau?NO. (A passport is needed if you're coming/going to Hong Kong).What currency do they accept/use?Both Macau Pataca and Hong Kong Dollar are acceptable. Patacas are not accepted in Hong Kong.What kind of cuisine do they serve in Macau?Besides Chinese, Portugese and Macanese for an authentic experience.What are the Hotel Free Shuttles?These are free bus rides a hotel provides to/from the Macau airport, the Macau ferry terminal to their respective hotel. This is a good way of cutting costs but can also be time consuming. Some smaller hotels do not allow children in the free shuttles.You DO NOT need to be a guest of that hotel to ride the free shuttle. If your destination/hotel is near a hotel with a free-shuttle, this is a cost-effective way of getting to your destination.Can I do some shopping in Macau?Macau isn't really a shopping destination, apart from a few stores in Senado Square and the high-end / luxury shopping in the hotels like Venetian and Wynn, there's really no big market or shopping mall in Macau.It's my first time to go abroad, should I go to Hong Kong or Macau?If cost is your number 1 criteria, Macau is cheaper than Hong Kong generally (airfare/hotel/sights).However, if you want to truly experience being out of the country, Hong Kong would definitely be the easy choice. From the airport, to the subway system, to the busy streets, the famous skyline and numerous theme parks and tourist sights, HK will definitely be the best 1st time out-of-country experience.Is Macau a good destination choice for kids?Apart from Venetian, I doubt kids will appreciate the sights of Macau.Do hotels/casinos require an attire?To avoid any inconvenience, try your best to avoid wearing shorts and slippers.What pasalubong can I bring back home?Pastelaria Koi Kei's Peanut Candy, Egg Tart, Tapa and other pastries----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Useful Websites for Macau:General Informationhttp://wikitravel.org/en/Macaohttp://www.macautouristguide.comhttp://www.olamacauguide.comhttp://www.macautourism.gov.mo/macaumap/en/index.phphttp://www.frommers.com/destinations...1491_maps.HTMLWeather/Climatehttp://www.smg.gov.mo/e_index.phphttp://www.worldtravelguide.net/coun...sia/Macau.HTMLhttp://www.travelchinaguide.com/climate/macau.htm----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Getting to Macau from Hong Kong:From Kowloon (Mongkok/Tsim Sha Tsui)Ride the NWFF Ferry in the HK China Ferry Terminal near Harbour City along 33 Canton Road in Tsim Sha TsuiChinese Name: 中國客運碼頭 or 中港碼頭http://www.nwff.com.hk/English/sched...=25&line=macauThis ferry does not have a 24-hour service.From HK Island (Causeway Bay/Central/Wanchai/North Point)Ride the Turbojet in Shuntak Center in Sheung WanChinese Name: 港澳碼頭http://www.turbojet.com.hk/eng/schedule/prd.HTMLThis ferry service is 24-hours.From the HK International Airport (Skypier)http://skypier.org/Schedule.HTML----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Top 10 Sights1.

The bus routes have great coverage and fare is cheap. The only consideration is which bus to hop on. Bus stops display information in Chinese and Portuguese, and some include descriptions of nearby scenic spots and important buildings. Most tourist destinations are accessible by public bus.NEW FARE:MACAU PENINSULA - MOP$3.20TAIPA - MOP$ 4.20COLOANE - MOP$ 5.00HAC SA BEACH - MOP $ 6.40Taxis:In Macau, there are two types of taxis for rent: yellow and black. They charge the same starting rate of MOP13 for the first 1,600 meters. Each additional 230 meters costs MOP1.5. Waiting incurs a charge of MOP1.5 per minute.There is also a luggage fee of MOP3 per bag. An additional MOP5 is applicable for taxis coming from the Macau International Airport and those leaving Macau for Coloane. The best places to hail a taxi are at the Border Gate, the ferry pier, Macau International Airport, and outside casinos and hotels have taxi stands.Free Shuttle BusesMany hotels offer free shuttle rides to and from the Border Gate and ferry port. Hop on a shuttle bus if your destination is a hotel or some place nearby.PedicabsPedicab is slow but this is the most romantic way of experiencing the long sweep of the Praia Grande Bay, and the old and traditional streets downtown. Main locations for catching a pedicab are outside the Macau Ferry Terminal and opposite the main door of the Lisboa hotel. Fares are negotiable and make sure to agree on a price first but there are some fixed itineraries which costs between Mop$40-100.MokesColourful, open-top mini-jeeps know as mokes are a fun way to get around and to explore the island of Taipa and Coloane. It is cheap and easy to hire. You can book them from a counter on the ground floor of the ferry terminal. Drivers must be at lest 21 years old and hold a valid International Driving License.BUS ROUTES TO THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF MACAU1.AMA TEMPLE- Bus # 1, 1A,2,5,6, 7, 9, 10,10A, 11, 18, 21, 21A, 28B, 26, 34BARRA SQUARE2.

English is widely spoken by those engaged in trade, tourism and commerceShoppingMacau's most popular buys are jewelry (particularly gold and jade), Chinese antiques, porcelain, pottery, electronic gadgetry, cameras, watches and beading work. They are available at duty-free prices because Macau is a free port and no sales tax is charged. Other popular buys are Chinese herbs and medicines, dried seafood (such as sharks' fins), abalone, Chinese and Macau pastries, and locally-made knitwear sold at stalls. When purchasing antiques, gold and jewelry, it is advisable to patronize shops recommended by the Goldsmiths' and Jewelers' Association and the Macau Government Tourist Office. A warranty and a receipt should be asked for when buying jewelry, gold, cameras, watches and electrical goods.Bargaining is expected on many items although most shops will have the same minimum price. When bargaining, begin at a price lower than you expect to pay and then work up to a price where you feel comfortable. If you cannot reach an agreement, begin to walk away. I have found that this often with bring the price down a little more.The main shopping area is located along the Avenida do Infante D Henrique and Avenida Almeida Ribeiro, São Domingos Market, Rua de Palha, Rua do Campo and Rua Pedro Nolasco da Silva. Antiques and unique gifts may be found in Macau's flea market in the lanes around Rua das Estalagens (near St Paul's Ruins). There is an Artisan's Fair every Saturday evening in Santo Agostinho Square.You can also head across the Chinese border to Zhuhai, where the first floor of the Gongbei market is well known for antiques, ceramics and fabrics.

Around the corner of A-Ma Temple is the Moorish Barracks situated on Barra Street. Further up the road, the narrow street suddenly opens onto Lilau Square, the first residential district of the Portuguese settlers in history where the Mandarin's House is just tucked behind the pastel façades across the street. Further up the road, Barra Street connects into Padre António Street and Lourenço Street where St. Lawrence's Church stands. Behind the church, Prata Street leads to the junction of São José Street where the grand entrance to St. Joseph's Seminary and Church is located. Walking alongside the granite wall on Prata Street and the adjoining Seminário Street, one arrives at the junction of Gamboa Lane. Climbing up the hill from there, the path leads to St. Augustine's Squareenclosed by a cluster of monuments - St. Augustine's Church, Sir Robert Ho Tung Library and Dom Pedro V Theatre.Moving down Tronco Velho Lane to Almeida Ribeiro Avenue, the narrow streetscape opens onto the main city square - Senado Square. Situated at one end, the "Leal Senado" Buildinghas a commanding view overlooking the entire square, flanked on both sides by South European-style buildings with the glimmering white façade of the Holy House of Mercy standing in its midst. Tucked behind the commercial shop fronts to the left of the Leal Senado Building is the Sam Kai Vui Kun Temple. Climbing up the slope alongside the Holy House of Mercy, one eventually lands at Cathedral Square on the hilltop where the Cathedral is located. Turning back down to St. Dominic's Square, one passes a typical Chinese courtyard house compound - the LouKau Mansion. St. Dominic's Church is located at the junction of Senado Square and Dominic's Square. Ascending from the base of Mount Hill from this urban piazza along Palha Street, the bluestone cobbled road leads to the grand façade of the Ruins of St. Paul's, with Mount Fortress to the side of it. Behind the majestic church front, is the miniature Na Tcha Templeand Section of the Old City Walls.

Macau's stadiums and sporting facilities mean it is often a top choice for international sporting events, such as the East Asian Games. But the most famous and anticipated sporting event in Macau has to be the Macau Grand Prix which takes place every November and attracts over 300 racers. It is the only street circuit racing event where cars and motorcycles race - many of whom head to the Motor Sports Club for to get behind the wheel of a go-kart at this challenging and world-class track.Another first for Macau is the Macau Tower Bungy - known as the world's highest commercial bungy jump. Operated by the King of Bungy - New Zealander AJ Hackett - you'll know you're in safe, dependable hands, even as you throw propel yourself into the air - 338 meters above the ground.

Coloane's A-Ma Cultural Village (devoted to Macau's most revered fisherman goddess), St. Francis Xavier Chapel (a beautiful little chapel set in a square in Coloane Village) and Lord Stow's Bakery (home of Macau's most famous egg tarts).Over on Taipa, you will have a chance to step into the former residences of wealthy Macanese families. These residences have been remodeled into Taipa Houses Museum, and from there you can walk over and explore the Old Village of Taipa full of colorful restaurants and plenty of souvenirs to bring home. On Mondays, the Taipa Houses Museum is closed. In place of the Museum, you will have an opportunity to visit the nearby Lady of Carmel Church and garden---------------------------------------------------------------1-Day Family TourIf you only have one day in MacauHave a local breakfast: Start the day off on with a hearty bowl of fish, pork or chicken porridge (congee) with or without an egg and crispy dough fritters. The Chinese cafes in Senado Square sell a range of breakfast noodles and porridge, or just look down one of the narrow side streets and follow the crowd to a make-shift stall where you can see people sitting on stools slurping away. Wash it down with a cup of hot tea or strong coffee or the kids can have soya bean milk. Tykes who prefer something Western can have their hotcakes and McMuffins at the McDonalds in Senado Square.Explore the historical sites: Explore the historical sites in Senado Square. There is no entry fee to see buildings and temples like LouKau Mansion, St. Dominic's Church, Cathedral, Holy House of Mercy and Kuan Tai Temple are a few minutes' walk of each other - just follow the signs. And no visit to Macau is complete without a photo in front of symbol of Macau - The Ruins of St. Paul's. Only the front façade is left, but there are stairs behind which allow you to climb up and peek out of the second level.Discover Macau's history: The stairs above The Ruins of St. Paul's will take you up to the Macau Museum. Housed within the battlement walls of the old Monte Fort, it has cannons overlooking the city on the upper level. Well worth a visit, it gives an in depth look into the history of Macau and is colorful enough to keep all but the youngest children interested for at least 45 minutes. There are daily guided tours catered for children as young as 5 and activities with prizes for children who can answer questions correctly. A section of the museum has computers with educational games targeted at children, and there occasionally children's workshops and events.Lunch in the tallest building in Macau - the Macau Tower: Café 360 is Macau's only revolving restaurant and from the 60th floor, you can enjoy breathtaking views. There is a wide range of cuisines on offer, include local specialties, and a dessert selection, which will satisfy the fussiest palate.Live life on the edge: Parents and kids 13 years old and above can try the bungy jump, but be warned that you'll need a stomach of steel, because from up there, it's a long way down. The Sky Jump, is a controlled decent from the same height, which lasts about 20 seconds, and is open for anyone above 10 years old. But we highly recommend the whole family try the Sky Walk, which is a 15-minute walk on an outdoor circular metallic platform on the 57th floor of the Macau Tower. While it feels like there's nothing between you and the ground below, a sturdy safety harness ensures your safety. While it's a sure way to get butterflies in your stomach, it's so safe that children as young as 3 can take part. Now's an opportunity to get a family photo like none other - a guide taking photos will encourage you to strike daring poses with your feet hanging off the edge of the platform.Shop till you drop: Kids will go crazy at the Toys "R"Us and Warner Bros. Studio Store on the ground floor of the Macau Tower. Other than apparel and stationary, there is a selection of over 3,500 types of toys. After all that excitement stop for a fresh pastry and a cup of coffee in the basement of the Macau Tower. The bakery sells delicious Western style afternoon tea treats like donuts, muffins and croissants, and has a sandwich bar with a wide range of artisan breads on offer.Go-kart: Head to the nearby Macau Motor Sports Club to try out one of the best go kart tracks in the region. Children must be at least 16-years-old to drive, although double go karts are available, where children can enjoy the thrill of being a passenger while driven by an adult. Whether or not you go for a spin, have a hot drink or afternoon tea in one of the booths, in the shape of a go-kart, while watching the real karts on the track whizz past.Ice cream and gondola rides at The Venetian: Head to the Cotai Strip - the home of Macau's largest casino, The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel and shop at its Grand Canal Shoppes, which have everything from clothes to electronics to books, chocolate and ice cream for sale. Go for a ride in a gondola, steered by a singing gondolier. If you are a guest of the hotel, try a round of mini golf at Grado Golf course, a new mini golf course which is on the rooftop of the Grand Canal Shoppes.Jungle dinner: Have dinner at the jungle themed 3-Monkeys Restaurant. Kids love the Fajitas, which come out on a steaming platter and are accompanied by monkey sounds. The giant burgers with homemade patties are another hot favorite. The giant toy monkeys evoke squeals of delight from most young diners.----------------------------------------------------------------1-Day Macau Cultural TourIf you have only 1 day in Macau9am - 12pmBegin your day on the picturesque Macau peninsula on the peak of Penha Hill. While it is accessible on foot, it is highly recommended that you catch a cab up there so that you don't tire yourself out. This is where the first chapel in the Portuguese settlement, the Chapel of Our Lady Penha, sits. As you approach the chapel, it seems to be shrouded in somberness and mystery. Some parts of the simply-landscaped grounds are overgrown with vegetation, adding to its mystery. Take time to enjoy the panoramic view of the inner harbour, the Macau-Taipa Bridgeand nearby towns in China across the Pearl River. You can also admire the juxtaposition of new modern architectures against the weather beaten buildings around the Nam Van Lake area. If you go down a flight of stone steps past the statue of Mother Mary, you will find a large Lady of Lourdes grotto that is still popular with Catholic devotees.Stroll down the hill towards the Barra Square. This is where the first Portuguese settlers arrived in the 16th century. Here, your attention will immediately be caught by the vibrant colors of the temple gates and the spiraling coils of incense burning at the A-Ma Temple, Macau's oldest temple. With about 25% of Macanese are A-Ma worshippers and 200 million devotees worldwide, this temple is always busy. Stone inscriptions of Chinese poetry and stone grottoes with taped recordings of Buddhist chants make for an intoxicating sensorial experience.Before you explore this temple, do drop in the Maritime Museum where you can get a better understanding of the temple's significance and get a sense of Macau's beginnings. Informative exhibits also explain Macau's significant religious festivals.A 3-minute walk north of the square will take you to the Moorish Barracks. If you lose your bearings, just keep an eye out of the official olive tourist signposts. This neo-classical brick-and-stone building will be hard to miss as it sits on a raised granite platform. Once the home of a police regiment of Goa, it now serves as the office of the Macau Maritime Administration.This same street will soon lead you to Lilau Square which is almost inconspicuous if not for the dilapidating yellow-and-red blocks on its right. These buildings are the remaining testament of its former past as the first Portuguese residential district in the settlement. Across the square, hidden behind pastel buildings, is the Mandarin's House where the famous Chinese thinker and literary figure, Zheng Guan Ying, lived. Unfortunately, this house is still undergoing renovation works.If you continue along Colcada da Barra, you will hit Rua Padre Antonio and Rua de Sao Lourenco. Here is where you will see St Lawrence's Church. Its grandiose exterior contains an exquisite sky-blue and canary interior decorated with gold chandeliers and stained glass windows. It is easily one of the most beautiful of churches in Macau.Behind here you can find another important Macanese church - the St Joseph's Seminary and Church. Many foreign and Macanese missionaries to China and Southeast Asia have been trained here, and it continues to operate as a seminary. The elaborate Baroque architecture of the church is well-preserved and beautiful to behold.Head back to Rua do Seminario and walk towards the junction of Calçada do Gamboa. Follow the path up the hill and you will soon reach the cobblestoned pavements of the small St Augustine's Square. A cluster of postcard-perfect monuments surrounds this square - St. Augustine's Church, Sir Robert Ho Tung Library and Dom Pedro V Theatre. Even on busy tourist days, these monuments are still able to exert a calming influence on the visitor. A couple of notable firsts occured here - fhe first English sermon in Macau was preached at St. Augustine's while Dom Pedro V was the first western-styled theatre in China. As you exit the square and head towards Senado Square, you will see a lovely mansard-roofed building that houses Banco Delta Asia, a local independent bank. While bearing no particular historical significance, the dollhouse-like building is pretty to look at.12 - 1pmNow that you've viewed almost half of the monuments on the World Heritage List, it is time to reward yourself with a feast. Senado Square, the historical centre of Macau, offers a veritable spread of cuisinary delights. If you feel the need to escape the crowd, get to the Restaurante Platao, just round the corner from MacDonalds. You can choose to dine in the al-fresco garden or in air-conditioned comfort. This popular restaurant serves both traditional and re-invented Portuguese and Macanese fare. Their biscuit mousse dessert is especially good. Those in search of more Chinese offerings can head over to Wong Chi Kei for their fine Cantonese noodles and congee. Try the traditional Cantonese favourite of 'Wanton Noodles' in soup. Famous personalities like Chris Patten and Hong Kong silverscreen dames have dined here.1 - 4 pmBefore you continue to explore the area, pop into the Tourist Information Counter inside the Macau Business Tourism Centre, near the water fountain. You can get useful tourist maps and guides. Just behind this building is the Sam Kai Vui Kun Temple. Formerly the guild house for a commercial association, the Sam Kai Vui Kun or Three Streets Association, it now is a temple dedicated to Kuan Tai, the God of War and Riches. Built sometime in the 18th century, this was also where Qing Dynasty edicts were announced in the past.As you continue to explore the historical gems that surround Senado Square, you will be pleased to note that an abundance of artifacts at many of these places can be viewed for free. These exhibits will give you an insight into Macau's bi-cultural character and how she came to be. Unique architectural designs that further reflect the cross-pollination of the East and West can be spotted in many of these buildings.We suggest that you begin from the General Post Officeand work your way through the Leal Senado Building, the Holy House of Mercy Cathedral, Bishop of Macau's Office (also known as 'The Bishop's Palace or Residence'), LouKau Mansion, before going to St. Dominic's Church. Religious museums featuring Catholic statues, paintings and liturgical objects are found inside the Holy House of Mercy, St Dominic's Church and at the Ruins of St Pauls. The Loukau Mansion is an opportunity for you to admire classic Guangzhou 'xiguan' architecture that infuses Western elements into its design - something that you did not manage to see earlier at the Mandarin's House.As you go toward the Ruins of St Paul's, you may find your nose overwhelmed by rich aromas wafting from the many shops selling Macanese snacks like the famous almond cookies, peanut cookies, sweet egg wafers and local beef jerky. The most famous local chain is the Pasteleria Koi Kei. Free samples abound. If you intend to buy any of these goodies, consider buying them on your way down from the ruins.At the Company of Jesus Square, you will be welcomed by two peculiar bronze sculptures that flank the path. One is of a young lady, posed rather provocatively on a low stone wall, with her dog. Another show a lotus flower being passed between a young man and woman. This sculpture supposedly symbolizes the friendship between China and Portugal.Remember to take a snapshot of the Ruin's of St Paul's, Macau's iconic symbol, before you head up those 66 steps. This remaining façade of the Church of Mater Dei is rather imposing and awe-inspiring. Other than its architectural merit and place in Macau Catholic history, it is also a marvel as it is the only part of the entire compound to survive the great inferno in 1835.If you are in need of some good fortune, climb up to the second level behind the façade to toss coins out of the window as many other superstitious tourists do. The remains that you see today were excavated between 1990 and 1995, and have been converted into a museum consisting of a crypt and sacred art relics dating as far back as the 16th century. Elegant glass niches in the crypt walls contain the remains of missionary matyrs in Japan and Vietnam as well as monks and clergy men once buried in the church. While the crypt is a serene space built around an solid-block marble altar, those who are easily spooked can choose to view it at a distance from the upper balustrade.Take it easy as you go up Mount Fortress as the slopes and stairs are rather steep and exhausting. An easy way up is to ride the escalators that go to Macau Museum. However, the fit and able-bodied should try tackling the slopes and stairs as you will be able to catch a glimpse of the old fortress tunnels. Just when you think you cannot think another step, there is hole -in-the-wall café located near the top where you can rest your tired legs and grab a cool drink.Either ways, just getting to the top will give you an almost perfect 360° view of the entire Macau island and even into China. Today, the fortress tunnels house the Macau Museum. This museum is worth a visit as it pulls together artifacts to tell the story of Macau's complex heritage spanning the historical, commercial, religious, social-cultural and folk art aspects.Take the escalator down through the museum and walk towards the Na Tcha Temple that sits just by St Paul's ruins.While she stands next to the larger and more imposing St Paul's ruins, her cultural and religious significance is not to be dwarfed. She was built and dedicated to the child-warrior deity, Na Tcha, in a bid to stop a raging plague in 1888. Next to the temple is the remains of the Old City Walls.4 - 6pmAntique hunters can dive into the many antique shops around the Rua de S.Paulo piazza. These shops not only specialize in the sale of authentic antiques but also quality reproductions of pieces. Prices are reasonable and shipping to just about any destination in the world is available. Mobilias Mei Choi is one such shop that has four branches along this street.If your legs can still take the pounding, walk towards St Anthony's Church. Another small cluster of World Heritage sites await you - Camoes Square, Casa Garden and the Protestant Cemetery. You can also catch a cab or the bus.A handful of popular temples are situated around here as well - Tai Soi Miu, Lin Kai Miu and Tai Soi Miu or the Temple of the Sleeping Buddha is located behind Camoes Garden. It is popular amongst women devotees who come here to offer prayers and offerings to the goddesses of fertility and child rearing. Different year gods and prayer halls dedicted to Pau Kung, Kun Iam and Chung Kwei can be found here.6 - 8pmEnd the day with a dinner at any of the eateries around the Barra Point area. If you like some hearty and homely Macanese cuisine and quality Portuguese vintage wines, the Litoral is ideal.But if you rather a more modern dining experience, pick any of the four restaurants at the Macau Tower. While you may not be overly enthused by the tower's claims of being ranked the 10th tallest free-standing structure in the world, and the 8th tallest in Asia, you will enjoy the views from its the observation deck. There, you can marvel at how a place with such small land mass is able to contain so much history and buzz.-----------------------------------------------------------------1-Day Guide for Thrill SeekersIf you only have one day in MacauBreakfast: Breakfast at Café Bela Vista at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Inspired by the historical Hotel Bela Vista in Portugal, the restaurant reflects the character of a Portuguese family home. With the classic columns and mosaic floors and peaceful ambience, it's easy to imagine that you're dining in a Portuguese stately home. Choose from a la carte offerings such as the American or Continental breakfast or if you're feeling ravenous, why not try the buffet.The world's highest bungy jump: AJ Hackett at the Macau Tower has the honor of having the world's highest bungy jump. Even though they have a 100% safety record, even those with the hearts of a lion will still feel their stomach doing little summersaults when they get up on the bungy launch pad 223 meters high and look down on sky scrapers. There are a range of other less terrifying options, including the Sky Walk, which involves walking around a rail-free circular platform. Put aside at least 3 hours if you plan to try the mast climb, which involves hiking right up to the mast of the skyscraper - an eye popping 338 meters above the ground. It's one of the only places in the world you'll get to climb a skyscraper.Go downtown: The historical centre of Macau is at Senado Square - which is where you'll find several of Macau's most famous landmarks within walking distance. The picturesque pedestrian-only Square is a mix of the old and new, with lovingly restored Macanese houses sitting side by side Starbucks and Chinese medicine shops. Take a stroll up to The Ruins of St. Paul's - helping yourself to the free samples of pastries that vendors will be handing out along the way, and sample a Portuguese egg tart of 2. Put aside at least 45 minutes for a whirlwind tour of the Macau Museum, which is housed within battle fort right by the side of The Ruins of St. Paul's.Local lunch: Get a taste of local cuisine at a family-run Macanese or Portuguese restaurant. On Rua do Almirante Sergio there are 3 which are known among locals for consistently good service and food. You can't go wrong with A Lorcha, Litoral and O Porto Interior - which are all down-to-earth restaurants who do great African Chicken and Baked Cod - but be sure to ask for their specialties. Those with a sweet tooth should try the range of local desserts. Portuguese wines are known for good quality at low prices, so if you're partial for a drink, pair a bottle with your meal.Explore Macau's nautical heritage: On the same road as the restaurants is the Maritime Museum, which pays homage to Macau's past as an international port. Legend has it that the red A-Ma Temple right by the museum is the exact spot where the Portuguese first landed in Macau.Go karting: Take a cab out to visit Coloane - the most picturesque of Macau's 2 islands and burn rubber at the Macau motorsports Club's go-kart track. Not for your typical Sunday driver it is one of the most exciting kart-racing circuits in Southeast Asia. People from Hong Kong and China make regular trips here for racing on Sundays. The 1.2km long track has 10 turns of varying difficulty including a tight hairpin, making it challenging for even the experienced karter.Taipa Village: A bustling city centre for Taipa island, there are markets and shops to explore, pubs to grab a cold beer at, and plenty of local snacks to try and interesting architecture worth photographing. It's just a 5 minute cab ride or 10 minute walk from Macau's biggest and most famous casino - The Venetian.The Venetian tour: Even if it's just to take a photo by the indoor canals, or try your luck at the poker table, The Venetian is worth a visit because it has become almost as much a symbol of Macau as The Ruins of St. Paul's. If you want to do some shopping, here is the place. The Grand Canal Shoppes is a 500,000 sq ft shopping mall housing a wide range of international luxury brands and mid-range fashion labels as well as bookstores, specialty stores and cafes.Dinner and drinks: It's going to be a long night, so make sure you're properly fuelled for it by having a good dinner. There is a stretch of bars at an area in Macau peninsula called NAPE - or commonly referred to as "Lan Kwai Fong" - which also has a range of restaurants offering local, Lebanese, Chinese and Western choices. After dinner, you can choose where to start your pub crawl. Moonwalker is known for its live band which plays rousing covers; while MP3 has notorious pole dancing acts and cheap drink.-----------------------------------------------------------------LIST OF TAIPA CASINOCasino TaipaRegency Macau, No. 2 Estrata Almirante Marques, Esparteiro, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursCrown MacauCrown Hotel, The intersection of Avenida Dr. Sun Yat Sen and Avenida de Kwong Tung, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursGrandview CasinoGrandview Hotel, No. 142, Estrada Governador Albano de Oliveira, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursGreek Mythology CasinoNew Century Hotel, No. 889, Avenida Padre Tomas Pereira, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursMocha Hotel TaipaRotunda Ouvidor Arriage Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursMocha Hotel Taipa SquareRua de Chaves, Taipa, Hotel Taipa Square, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursTreasure Express Slot LoungeOpposite the Macau International Airport, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursGrand Waldo CasinoGrand Waldo Hotel, Avenida Marginal Flor De Lotus, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursMarina CasinoPousada Marina Infante, Aterro COTAI, Marina da Taipa Sul, Taipa, MacauOpening Hours: 24 hoursThe Plaza CasinoFour Seasons Hotel Macao, Estrada da Baía de N.

Then change your dollars at forex shops in Senado Square (7.66 to 1, may iba akong nakita 7.70 to 1)But never, ever exchange your dollars sa mga hotel. Talagang mababa (sa Best Western Sun Sun, 7.00 to 1 ang prevailing rate). Napilitan lang ako kasi sa airport ayaw tanggapin yung USD 100 ko na may serial no. which started with CB. Don't know why).

Just got back fr Macau (feb 13-15) and HK (feb 16-18). Weather was cool, though slightly warmer than HK. Reminder sa mga may balak pumunta ng zhuhai-pls get your visas dito sa pinas. They will not issue visas to pinoys at the border, although may nakita kami na binigyan ng visa na Australian.If you visit venetian, apply for the free cotai rewards card. You'll be given a pen and a lanyard. You can use this to get discounts at the restos in Venetian or Sands. We had lunch buffet at the Sands 888 resto and we got 10% discount. $184.8 yung regular price, binayad namin $168 lang. Great! Sobrang sarap ang food niya and sobrang fresh. May sushi, salmon, tuna & swordfish sashimi, tempura, chilled prawns and shellfish , roast beef, assorted barbeque roasts, very very fresh salads, Italian, Indian, continental, Chinese cuisine, daming varieties of desserts, and very sweet melons, watermelons and pineapples. Marami pa syang food but I can't remember kung ano pa. Dinner buffet is more expensive- $218 ata, but i think they serve Alaskan crabs dito. Naka 15% discount din kami sa Mortons steak house sa venetian, but feel ko, not worth it considering very expensive sya. Sobrang love namin sa Alorcha. Try the clams with garlic and olive oil, its a winner! Alorcha is located near the Ama temple. Go there early, the place is usually packed.=============================================================Thanks glads. Lahat ng in order namin ay sobrang sarap. Kung 3 lang kayo, Hindi nyo talaga ma try ang lahat. Suggestion ko lang ha, must-have yung clams. Order pa kayo ng 1 meat dish, either oxtail or African chicken or pork knuckles with beans. Medyo big servings sila. May free bread naman, isawsaw nyo lang sa mga sauce. Kung malakas talaga kayo kumain, order na lang kayo ng portuguese fried rice. Most of their staff is composed of pinoys, very helpful sila, so you can ask for suggestions.=============================================================
