Wat een prachtige sfeerbeelden van een tijd die niet meer is, volgens mij is er erg veel hoogbouw bij gekomen wat, de tradionele portugese architectuur grotendeels heeft doen verdwijnen. Maar die hoogbouw heeft ook wel iets

@MrJlin1982 Bedankt. Ik zie en lees dat Macau zelfs Las Vegas overvleugeld heeft in monsterlijke paleizen van casino's!

Ik kwam dit tegen op uitzending gemist denk ik , ik wilde graag weten van Meneer Rogge hoe u al die oude films digitaal heeft gemaakt.

Heeft u daarzelf de apparatuur voor of heeft u dat laten doen.

[MichaelRogge]

Hallo, ik laat al mijn films digitaliseren door Supersens in Amsterdam, die ook voor verschillende musea werken. Ik heb nu een drie honderd clips via hun digitaliseren in elkaar geknutseld.

[AntonOortmann]

Ik zie dit nu op Omroep Max, zeer mooi dat u dit allemaal nu nog op internet zet! En er word ook nog veel gekeken ook..

[MichaelRogge]

Inderdaad ben ik overweldigd door de waarderende reacties die ik speciaal uit Hong Kong en Macau ontvang op films die ik eigenlijk al afgeschreven had! Er komt nu ook een fotoboek in HK uit.

I lived in Macao in 194l and 1942. There was a famous (or well-known) street named October 5th, where women served men, and it was legal. Is that street still in operation?

[wingklow]

@Macanese Thanks. I just watched videos of 福隆新街 Rua de Felicidade. October 5th Street was the street where women served men, as other viewers had confirmed. Maybe Rua de Felicidade also had the same service available, I am not surprised.

[Macanese]

@wingklow I think you meant Rua da Felicidade. It is near to the Rua de Cinco de Outubro( THe October 5th street.) Now the legal 'women-serving-men-house' is gone. You can google the street name Rua de Felicidade or copy the Chinese name 福隆新街 to google it in Chinese. you can see the photos.

[Macanese]

well in Macau you can still see the flags of Republic of China(Taiwan) in the Sun Yat-sen memorial house. so I think Chiang Kai Shek's poster can be seen there too.

These old film clips make me feel terribly nostalgic. I lived in HK in the early 1980s and visited Macau often. I remember the temple and the ruin of the cathedral, and the very laid back atmosphere with the Portuguese still there but the place pretty run-down. Went back to HK last year - wow, did I feel out of place - everything had changed.

@sc4portugal You should be very proud in being Portugese. Portugal is the oldest nation in Europe and the first European world power. I may be part Portugese, because I was born in an area bordering Macau. My children are definitely part Portugese because their mother is part Portugese, and they are good looking, so people say.

[sc4portugal]

@wingklow Yes, the 5th October is a holiday in Portugal and is commonly known as the date in which Portugal became a Republic (5th Oct 1910). It is less well known that Portugal became independent on the 5th of October 1143. As far as I know no street name changes have happened in Macau, or in Hong Kong for that matter.

[wingklow]

@sc4portugal Thank you for the information. So the Chinese simply translated the street name from Portugese. And thank god for the Portugese in Macau (and the British in Hong Kong), the Chinese people had the opportunity to escape from the mainland when things were bad.

[sc4portugal]

@wingklow I had a look at Rua 5 de Outubro in Macau and it looks like it has normal businesses now.

Every Portuguese city has a road named that
