Start of the technical conference

Macau - After making sure that everything at the technical conference was 'clock work'. Tania, Donny and I went to settle the payment for the coach services. The tour agency was Grayline Tours and the office was just a walking distance from where we are staying. They are very professional and ensured us that there will be a English speaking guide since many from our conference do not speak Mandarin or Cantonese.

We were hankering for food and ask Grayline where to find good Macauese food and was told to go to Senado Square. We walked up and down the street but found no restaurant. I later realized that many of the good restaurants are in the lanes off the main street.

A lady was standing at a cross junction handing out flyers of her resturant, since we were hungry we took the flyer and followed her. The restaurant was downstairs and had to take a flight of stairs down and looking around there weren't many patrons on that day. Well, surprisingly the food was good and tasty too.

After lunch, we headed back to Royal Hotel to refresh for the evening activities.

After dinner, we went to a Karaoke Bar called 'Club Ruka'. The taxis plying Royal Hotel were few and we had to wait a long time to complete the group by packing 4 at a time into a taxi to Club Ruka. In spite of the directions to this Club Ruka, one taxi got lost along the way. Not many were singing and after a while it was getting a bit boring so we left. We discount with the manager since we left early and paid about MOP$900 for drinks and Karaoke room rental.
