I’m bored just thinking what things to Do in Macau.  Let’s start with the golf. There’s only two golf courses in Macau – the Macau Golf & Country Club, which is private and members only.  You can get on by staying at the Grand Coloane Resort but it’s still quite expensive. It’s a shame because it’s a wicked course, I played there a few times, once when it was blowing a hurricane and almost got blown off the course, but great fun and if you’re going to play golf in Macau, this is the course to play if you can get on.  Caesars Golf and Country Club is open to the public but it’s also expensive, especially for what you get.  The course is a bit like Macau itself, a bit boring but nice to visit if you have absolutely run out of things to do.  I’ve played here a couple of times weekday mornings and there was basically nobody there, so it does have that going for it.

Other than golf and gambling, you’re going to struggle for things to do in Macau.  You have a walk around the resorts, which are usually massive, the Venetian is a monster and you can get lost in there.  There’s indoor punting which is tacky and not a whole lot of fun and the whole resort smacks of tackiness, not my scene at all.

The most popular show in Macau and one of the best things to do in Macau is the House of Dancing Water, not sure how to describe, so this is what they say about it on the website: The House of Dancing Water is housed in a purpose-built theater designed with many breakthroughs including a stage pool that holds a record-breaking 3.7 million gallons of water, equivalent to 5 Olympic-sized swimming pools. This state-of-the-art theater provides the setting for an epic love story and spectacular journey through time, showcasing dazzling costumes, special effects and record breaking acts never seen before in a theater.

It’s actually not bad, older kids might like it too, except, during your spectacular journey of mystique, the show suddenly changes direction and you have a 5-10 minute piece where motorcycles come roaring out doing flips and stunts. It’s absolutely bizarre.  I mean, separately, the show and the motorcycles are pretty good, but it’s like putting peanut butter on a piece of Kobe beef – they just don’t go together. It’s like someone has said, this could be a bit boring, what can we do to make it a bit more exciting?  Think of two of the most different things you can think of, put them together, and that’s what it is.
