When my first sentence is using past tense, can the following sentence use present?

Question

I am pretty confused with grammar structure, so can you please correct the following.

I went to Macao and it was nice place to stay. Macau (is) definitely the place for you to spend all of your money.

and the last question would be for e.g. after I said something and few moments later I wanted to correct it, which one that I should use,

I mean or I meant?

thanks in advance! =D

Hi,

I am pretty confused with grammar structure, so can you please correct the following.

I went to Macao and it was a nice place to stay. You can say 'is a nice place . . . ' if you mean that it is still a nice place to stay. In other words., if the statement is still true.

Macau (is) is definitely the place for you to spend all of your money.

and the last question would be for e.g. after I said something and few moments later I wanted to correct it, which one that I should use,

I mean or I meant? You could say either. But if you said it a long time ago, only use 'meant'.
