I think I would definitely go there again. There weren't many people, so it was comfortable. It was nice to look around. There weren't many Koreans, and it seemed like most were Hong Kongers. I'll go again next summer.

I think I would definitely go there again. It was comfortable to ride because there weren't many people. There weren't many Koreans and it seemed like most were from Hong Kong. Macau is the best. Let's go next summer.
