Currency question

Hi

Apologies if this has been answered in the sticky thread but I couldn't find it (maybe it's worth having a wiki for an FAQ section or something to make finding common questions easier?).

Anyway, I am visiting HK and Macau for the first time (then later onto Singapore).

When I usually travel to the Middle East, I usually change around £50-100 from the airport so that I have enough for the taxi to the hotel and food etc. I then exchange more when I get to my destination with more favourable exchange rates.

Would the same apply in HK?

If so, whereabouts can I get the best rate? I will be staying at the Sheraton in TST.

I will be visiting Macau for a day. I've heard many retailers accept HKD - is this true? If not, again, where can I get the best rate?

Thanks!
