This review is from: Macao Remembers (Hardcover)

Macau is a very interesting and unique place due to its history and location. It is very small and very few Portuguese people were living there in 1999, the year of the handover. There is apparently a group of Eurasians called Macanese who live there and I figured they would have some interesting family histories. I just expected this book to have more interesting and exotic stories than it did. I read what I thought to be the more interesting ones in the bookstore and I bought China Remembers to take home with me.
