I almost said hi from Macau, because I’ve been to Macau (as readers of this blog know), but never to Lisbon. Based on a cursory view (I got to our hotel at noon, and spent most of the afternoon sightseeing), the Portugese built some things in their East Asian possession, the last European part of Asia, being turned over to the Chinese in 1999, that would have made them feel comfortable. In particular, the Mediterranean style architecture, and the pastel colorings. I’d suspected it might be like this.
