After spending time in Cologne and Düsseldorf , it was time for 2 weeks of work in my old lab in Munich. Time flew by really quickly and soon I was on my way to Lisbon for 4 days of holiday. I chose Lisbon because I wanted to visit an old friend whom I haven’t seen for more than 2 years and who seems to keep drifting about in the world. The other reason was to see for myself how similar Lisbon is to Macau, a former colony of Portugal. 遊過 科隆 和 杜塞爾多夫 後，又回到慕尼黑老地方公幹做實驗，兩星期時間過得真快，之後便到葡萄牙里斯本遊玩四天。我到里斯本的原因，一來是為了探一個兩年多沒見、四處飄泊的朋友，二來很想探究一下澳門和里斯本有多相似。 Macau is famed for its colonial-era flair and it is indeed possible to find some similar architecture and streetscape in Lisbon. However, the differences are so much greater that, one day when I asked a waiter who actually travels to Hong Kong and Macau every year the question how similar it is between Macau and Lisbon, he said not at all! 常言道澳門保留了很多殖民地的歷史色彩，澳門倒真的有一兩分像里斯本，但很多方面分別就大了，我在里斯本有天吃午飯時跟一個侍應閒聊，他每年都到香港和澳門一次學功夫，我問他澳門像不像里斯本，他說一點也不像！ Lisbo
