Macau What to Expect

There's some memories.

Macau has a distinct flavor that keeps it separate from Hong Kong, namely, the exciting casino lifestyle. Although Portuguese is technically an official language, due to previous colonization, don't expect to use it too commonly; the preferred language is Cantonese, followed by English and Mandarin.

Por favor, por favor.... por vavorcito!!! No griten muy duro si ganan algún premio en las máquinas tragamonedas... La seguridad del casino puede rodearlos DE INMEDIATO y hacerlos sentir un poco cohibidos :$

Macau is must see when you are travelling within HongKong. It's a chinese territory that still holds the influences of European flavor. It's a world where you see the chinese and Portuguese culture blended into one. There is still an edifice of an old Church that still stands supported by steel scaffolding behind and a fort that was once used to fend off enemies attacking the island. Cannons are still displayed within the forth, and when you reach the top of the climb of the fort you will see a splendid view of the city. The tower where you can go bungee jumping can be seen from the top of the fort. 

Be sure to venture out from the casinos or resorts and see the Cathedral, with many great shops leading up the hill.

Beginning in May, Macau's summer season usually lasts through September. The extreme high temperatures and heavy humidity bring many rainstorms, thunderstorms and even disastrous waterspouts. The months from July to September might be filled with frequent cyclones. Travelers should attempt to avoid the typhoon season and stay at home when storms and cyclones come. T-shirt and light cottons are suitable for the hot and humid days and raingear is an additional must.

It reminded me of Las Vegas. Lots of lights and mostly devoted to gambling.
