SOBRE MACAO

Let's learn all about Macau in its local language! In Macau, Portuguese is an official language although most people don't speak it. The street signs are in Portuguese first. Then Cantonese.

Using text phonetically 'translated' into Cantonese, Clare Charnley and Wen Yau enabled the audience to 'speak' Portuguese. The text was cut and pasted from the official tourist website which describes thrilling shopping and clean water, but speaks of even more by omission.
