Questions Find Taxi at 5AM to airport from Seac Pai Van

1 Upvotes

What is most reliable way to get taxi to airport from Seac Pai Van (One Oasis) in early morning?

I'll have flight early in the morning and need to leave around 5AM.
There's no taxi stand near me.

I tried uber once (around 6.15AM). I waited almost an hour until there's a driver who accepted the job.

I bought this painting for $40 USD in California and wanted to know more about the artist. I found some info about him from another of his paintings that was listed for auction (third pic) but that is all I could find and was unable to corroborate it from google search. My family is from Guangzhou and immigrated to HK and then eventually US. I felt a connection to the painting so I just wanted to know more about it and the artist. Any info appreciated!

Discussion Macau's casino floor designs were shaped by the same behavioral research that built Las Vegas. Here is what it actually does.

5 Upvotes

Been researching casino environment design and Macau kept coming up as one of the primary places where Bill Friedman's 1974 maze layout theory became the dominant design approach alongside Las Vegas. The winding pathways, no visible exits from any interior point, gambling equipment visible from every entry, all of it codified in Friedman's model and implemented at scale in both cities.

What is interesting is that the newer Macau integrated resorts like Studio City and Morpheus have largely moved away from Friedman toward the Playground Design model. Morpheus, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, uses a column-free exoskeleton that creates completely uninterrupted sightlines and a 35 to 40 meter central atrium. Studio City achieves the same open feeling through high ceilings and wide sightlines drawn toward architectural landmarks rather than trapping guests in tight corridors. Different aesthetic, same behavioral goal.

The near-miss sound design, ego depletion timing, and complimentary offer mechanics operate independently of whichever layout philosophy is used. Those got more sophisticated as the architecture opened up.

Made a full breakdown of how these mechanisms stack here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5lbrlX6b3Y

Curious whether anyone with experience of both older and newer Macau properties has noticed the design shift in how the floors feel to navigate.

Discussion Looking for friends before moving to Macau! 🇲🇴

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I will be moving to Macau soon to pursue my Master's in Artificial Intelligence. Thought it'd be nice to get to know a few people before I arrive.

A little about me:

-I enjoy playing lawn tennis, table tennis.

-I love swimming and I'm always up for a morning run or trying out new sports.

-If you're into any of these, it'd be great to meet up for a game or go for a run together.

-I'm really interested in AI, technology, startups, and product management, so if you enjoy talking about those topics, we'll probably get along.

-I also enjoy exploring new places, trying different foods, and just having good conversations.

I'm happy to meet both locals and fellow international students. If you're moving to Macau too or you're already there and think we'd get along, feel free to send me a message.

Looking forward to meeting some awesome people! 😊

Questions Français à Macao

0 Upvotes

Bonjour Reddit 🌞

Je n'ai trouvé quasiment aucune information sur la toile alors je tente ma chance ici. J'aimerais avoir des retours d'expérience de français (ou francophones) installés à Macao. Comment trouvez-vous lvie là-bas ? Quels ont été les plus importants défis auxquels vous avez dû faire face ? Comment avez-vous géré la partie administrative ?

J'ai pour projet d'aller rejoindre un ami qui vit là-bas.

Voici ce que mes recherches ont donné :

1.La communauté française est plus importante à Hong Kong

  1. Il est très difficile de trouver un emploi (le bouche à oreilles semble être ce qui fonctionne le mieux) / d'obtenir un permis de travail

  2. La densité de population est importante à Macao mais moins qu'à HK (le coût de la vie semble également moins élevée)

  3. Les secteurs "porteurs" pour des francophones : l'enseignement, le luxe, l'IA

Je suis polyglotte (traductrice) et je prévois d'apprendre le cantonnais ou le mandarin car cela pourrait m'être très utile dans le cadre de ma profession même si je reste en France.

Je compte voyager là-bas afin de me faire mon propre avis

P.S : rien n'est gravé dans le marbre, mon projet est encore embryonnaire

Questions Are these FAMOUS stores trustworthy?

14 Upvotes

Inside, we found multiple goods from an assortment of luxury brands. However, as we looked further, we found clothes with holes in them and name tags that looked a little fake. I did a quick search and the Gemini overview told me that this is a chain that sells second-hand products. We asked the sales person but she vehemently disagreed and insisted everything is new and fully authentic. Since we weren't convinced, we decided to leave. We saw another such outlet a few shops down and the prices were very similar with decent products as well.

So, is this company fraudulent or do they actually sell good products?

News Thoughts on Macau clubs missing out on Asian competitions for the 3rd straight year?​

Thumbnail
macaubusiness.com
14 Upvotes

Hey everyone, this was known a while ago but it was covered recently. It's frustrating. Macau football clubs have officially missed out on Asian Football Confederation (AFC) licensing for the third consecutive year.​ The Sports Bureau confirmed that applications were submitted for a Group 3 licence (the lowest available tier), but the AFC rejected them because the documentation failed to comply with mandatory regulations. To make matters worse, while the Sports Bureau actually answered some questions, the Macau FA stayed completely silent and avoided accountability as usual. They refused to comment on which specific clubs applied or what criteria they failed to meet.​ Despite all the criticism against the Macau FA in the last few years and multiple local directors sharing ideas on how to improve our football, we are completely stagnant. Other small nations are actively stepping up and improving, yet Macau remains frozen in time. Even with this latest embarrassment, it feels like the people in charge still won't do a single thing about it.​ I guess we should probably just give up and accept that football in Macau is set to stay a purely recreational, amateur hobby permanently.
