Portuguese Chinese - THE GLOBAL TRIP 2004
Portuguese Chinese - THE GLOBAL TRIP 2004: "DOWN FROM THE FORT, I walked passed the 17th century Church of S�o Paolo -- once hailed as the 'greatest Christian monument in east Asia' (according to Rough Guide), which was now just a fa�ade since it burned down in 1835 -- and then down into an area where classic Portuguese streets slowly gradually turned into modern Chinese ones as I walked from block to block. The walking tour took me passed the Church of Santo Agostinho, the Dom Pedro V Theater, the Church of S�o Louren�o and the former Moorish barracks, now the offices of the Maritime Police.
