10 Things to Do in Macau

By Chaayen


8. Take some insta-shots
Just to caveat, the St. Paul ruins and Senado Square doesn't look as awesome in photos because there is just too much tourists crowding around. There was a slight drizzle the day we were there and hurray the pesky tourists dispersed for a while, allowing me to take a clear shot of these mandatory places, otherwise it is like I haven't truly been there. Lame reason but it is the truth.

9. Gondola Rides at the Venetian
I know, I know...Singapore has its very own. But our seats ain't that comfy and we don't glide though a mall under fake blue skies. And, please play the video. Our gondolier has literally the voice of an angel. She makes the ride so worth it. Plus she is so engaging. Sorry, but Singapore's gondola is really nowhere near Macau's standards.

10. Eiffel Tower at The Parisan Macau Observation Deck
Yes, it is gimmicky. No doubt it is touristy. Still we went up to have a bird's eye view of the city of lights. And boy, the lift going up bring out the fear of heights in me. So stand further away from the glass lift if you are uncomfortable seeing yourself soar up. Yikes.
And pssst...the souvenirs at the giftshop is surprisingly reasonably priced. For those who are looking to bring home some trinkets, here's the place to be! #Betterthanthestreets My pick of to-dos, which I have done all, haha. I can't wait to go Macau again <3
