People seemed to be real uneducated and rude

I don't want to sound racists, but Chinese people seem to be very rude, have no manners and no concern for their appearance. It's funny that most Japanese are the polar opposite of this.

My family and I are from Hong Kong, and we like differentiate ourselves from people coming from China. Your above description of Chinese people matches our stereotype of people from China.

Concur with the Japanese comment. People in Japan generally are very polite and treat guests with much respect. Lots of bowing and respects for people around them.

Is Macau a must see? I'm going to HK soon for about a week and I'm wondering if I should split off 2-3 or more days for Macau. Not really looking to spend tons of cash but if its awesome I'll go.

Macau is an absolute must see!
No poker unfortunately. Some places are amazing though. BUT if you are not looking to spend money then just stay in HK. Time of your life in Macau will run you about $500-700usd a day.

You can go cheaper but you'll be missing out. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

All IMO however, you may be interested in other forms of entertainment.

167- I know how to have the time of your life in Macau for only 50USD a day. They must have ripped you off or something.

I went in fall 2005 and there was zero poker...I dont know if things have changed since then but i couldn't find any games.

And I would NOT expect ANY Texas Hold'em in Macau until WPT arrives at the MGM Grand Macau in either 2008 or 2009.

LOL. I think the standards are different, or you might like to enlighten us. I'll start, my first stop always in Macau is the Rio. Just that place alone will run me about $200-300usd (if I want stars)

There are other fun places at very reasonable prices but I like to go to the better ones. Degen can find all the more inexpensive places in Thailand. When you in Macau, you might as well go to the first class establishments. Can you name a place that's better? (Under 500usd)

AS I read, you guy mention, there are a lot of loan shard , gangster, triad in Macau. I guess there is very safe to open up a game such as texas holdem. Imagine, there is one of this guy in the game. And you about to go All-In. And this guy say "I kill you if you go all in". What do you do? Who protect you?. you know how it is. I am sure you have met this opponent in real life game at casino. But in casino of America, there is security in the casino to protect you. and there is police out side to protect you. So, you are not scare. But in Macau, casino don't care. If they do, there would not be so many loan shark in their casino. or maybe security even scare of them. And outside, police probably useless with this guys more or less. If they do care, there probably not so many gangster and triad existed. I heard these triad are related to government at some level. Anyway, game that you against casino is safe. but players against players is dangerous. I would think. that if you play day in and day out. But I would be interest to see if they have texas holdem game there soon.
