What to do in Macau (a cheap itinerary) – sightseeing for (almost) free

I embarked on a halal trip to Macau recently and when a few close friends asked if I was mad, I had calmly replied no.

In fact I had thought that the initiative taken by the Malaysian Macau Government Tourist Office to market Macau to Muslims a sound one.
I was curious myself too; what would be a Muslim’s diet like in a city known of sin and swine?

I had to indulge my curiosity and being the adventurous shod that I am, I hopped on the plane to Macau.

HotelQuickly app – when being last minute is an advantage!

The 2015 plan is to stay at one hotel in Singapore per month.

I’ve been making monthly trips to Sg since last year, and then the currency just went unfavorable from month to month so that put a halt to my future trips.

Instead of monthly, I now visit quarterly instead, keeping myself abreast with news, happenings & food trends.
Flights are pretty standard; about M200-250 for KL-SG return.
The hotels however, are a pain in the wallet.

Last month I got to know that HotelQuickly upgraded their app.

A Club Med vacation for the kids – Baby Club, Petit Club Med, Mini Club Med, Juniors’ Club Med

Passing the big 30, I observed as my peers (and even those 5 – 8 years younger) posted ” I said Yes” on their Instagram, flashed their engagement rings as they waved their hands, shared their wedding albums on Facebook and subsequently started popping babies.
I on the other hand, are too preoccupied with 4 businesses and all the traveling plans to bother much about family planning.

When I was at Club Med Bali in 2013, I had remarked in my blogposts that although many guests came with their little ones, I was barely disturbed with any child’s tantrums, cries or mischief.

If anything the children are well behaved, kept preoccupied at the designated areas/activities and are supervised at all times by either their parents or the GOs.

Since I wasn’t disturbed, I didn’t think too much about it til my recent trip a few weeks back; where at Club Med Bali the launch of the new family space demonstrated the seriousness of Club Med in ensuring yours and your child’s vacation in their clubs.

This time I found myself understanding the the dedicated Children’s Club better, and Club Med Bali being one of the busiest and most popular Club Med for family retreats, has upgraded the facilities and services available for children of all ages from four months to 17 years.
