Originally Posted By Malin Its a few reasons but mainly its down to how popular the site has become. And some of the rather stupid rules and regulations that site has in place.

Also I really don't have the time to devote hours on MiceChat trying to catch up on everything thats being writen. The LP boards are a lot easier to follow, and you can have a much more serious conversation with other members, who have great knowledge of the parks. Sorry to go off topic here but SuperDry did want to know. Anyway back on topic could someone explain to me if when visiting Macau your able to use Hong Kong Dollars as currency?

But, the pataca is not widely exchangeable outside of Hong Kong and Macau, so be sure to get rid of them before you leave the area.
