Unfriendly MACAU...

Macau -  We visited the Fisherman Wharf located near the Macau ferry - occupying 111,5000sq meter and claimed in their brochure to be the 1st ever themed entertainment attraction in Macau. But reality is far from claimed by the brochure - this is the most boring theme entertainment ever - not advise to visit at all. There is nothing of interest here - most of the theme attractions are closed.

Went over the New Yaohan departmental store - claimed to be the only department store in Macau - not too exciting.

Came back to the Hotel for a meeting with their sales and banquet to discuss for next year conference. Overall, I am not impress with Metropark Hotel.

Generally, I think Macau has a big problem in Macau on their service level. Macau has so many Mainland Chinese in the service and entertainment business that most are not given ample service training besides just being able to speak Mandarin. Macau is the only place, in all the countries I have travel around that the housekeeper has the audacity to question you why you need more towels and more bottles of water. So, in order to enjoy your trip in Macau - you need to set service level expectations very low. Don't set your expectation too high and you will not be disappointed.

In the afternoon, I visit Macau Tower. One of the must see icon of Macau. The express lift takes you to the 58th floor (view gallary) and then to the 61st floor. On the 61st floor it is open air viewing gallary and is also the location for bungee jumping and aerial walking for the brave hearted.
