Around Leal Senado and the Sé The area around the Leal Senado and the Sé Catedral still shows a lot of the Portuguese influence in Macau. It is also a great meeting place and the site of small outdoor events -- this time, I found a display celebrating the year of the dog!		Pictures from Around Macau These are pictures of some landmarks in Macau. They include a number of gardens that have disappeared and now look like construction sites (one sad thing about Macau is green spaces keep disappearing!). They also include a picture of the Hospital where my mother used to work -- and where a few of my siblings were born!
	Antigo Liceu de Macau (Old Portuguese School) My high school, the "Liceu de Macau", is no longer a high school -- but it still looks very much the same. For memories' sake, I got a picture of my old classroom window and a few other parts of the school.		Shortcut to School When walking to school, I used to take a shortcut up the "Monte da Guia". Surprisingly, most pieces of the shortcut are still there!
	Fisherman's Wharf Macau is always growing -- not just up (by building taller buildings) but also sideways (by filling lots of the sea). All of this expansion is financed with profits from the casinos (after all, Macau is the Las Vegas of the Far East). Fisherman's Wharf is a cute new development with miniatures of landmarks from around the world and a shopping area.		Lamma Island, Near Hong Kong While in Hong Kong, I had a busy scheduling -- planning a grant, getting career advice from Lon Cardon, and teaching at an excellent Genetics Symposium at the University of Hong Kong Medical School. I only found a tiny bit of free time to go for a walk around Lamma Island.
