Smelly Business
Whenever newcomers to Macau ask me whether its safe to drink the water, I always give them an emphatic “Yes!” Why I feel pretty sure about this is that years ago I met a government official who, as a young engineer in the 70s, came out from Portugal to head the water department. He assured […]
Showing Solidarity
Peter Newton, Chairman of Architecture Sans Frontieres (ASF), and his Board were faced with a challenging decision to make recently. For the first time ever their long planned 2015 annual General Assembly meeting was to be held outside of Europe, and Kathmandu, Nepal had been the chosen location. The date: 15 June, less than 2 […]

Homes on the Hill
Estrada de Cacilhas runs alongside the picturesque Guia Hill Municipal Park, a leafy green ‘lung’ and highest point of Macau at 94 meters above sea level, popular for day and evening family strolls, and the more rigorous sporting types.
