@monkeetime There's a difference between being able to speak a language and speaking it at home...

@monkeetime Portuguese is not extinct. I know a lot of fluent speakers from Macau, I give that many moved to Portugal after the handover, but many are moving back, and China is investing heavily in the language status of the Region, through classes taught to children and adults, cultural festivals, and Macau relations with Portuguese speaking countries. Apart from that, love the video!

Anyone else American or European find the more inner-city areas of these Asian megacities very dark and dirty looking. Funny thing is they are probably literally more clean, but the architecture and design is horrific and jumbled making it look much more slummy.

@grandexandi Portuguese is revigorating now! After the handover in 1999, Portuguese seemed to be decaying to a state of almost complete irrelevance! But nowadays Portuguese is being tought again in schools and many Macanese learn Portuguese again, due to strong chinese interests in Africa and Brazil!

@monkeetime
European languages must be too hard for them.
