My friend and I went for holiday to Macau and Hong Kong recently. We bought the AirAsia zero fare promotion tickets one year ago.
We flew Miri-KL-Macau on 28th March 2009. The flight departed LCCT at 3.25p.m and the journey took 4 hours to reach Macau International Airport. We reached Macau at 7.30pm (their time zone is similar to Malaysia). It was chilled in Macau and luckily we did bring our sweaters. After went through the immigration and custom procedures at the Macau International Airport, we went straight to the Money Changer counter to change for a small notes of Hong Kong dollar for the taxi fares. The taxi fare cost HKD62.50 (RM30.00) from airport to the hotel.

Mandarin and Cantonese are widely spoken here and I am lucky that I speak both languages. Macau is very synonym with casinos so you can find casinos everywhere from a small casino center to the big and famous casinos at Grand Lisboa, The Sands and etc. Besides casinos, there are interesting places to visit, such as El Senado Square, St. Paul Ruins, Cathedrals etc.

We boarded the First Ferry to Hong Kong and the weather on that day was cloudy. The journey took 1 hour.

After visited Macau and Hong Kong. I find Hong Kong is interesting to explore and I enjoyed my trip very much. Eventhough it is a Metropolitan City but you still can see the traditional ways of life, culture, food, etc in Hong Kong too. I want to visit Hong Kong again soon.
