So globaliation is getting on its way..........this might mean that our places would be gradually losing its unique character and personality. Yesterday, I read about an interview from a local english magazine "Macau Closer", it's about a Malaysian girl who settled in Macau in 1982 and has worked in the garment industry as a designer and production manager for the last 26years. She now plans to open her cafe by June this year, and these following particular words enhance my thinking, it said, "I call this place Jabber, because I want to create a spot where people can sit around and chat.I realised that Macau's scenery is changing drastically with the indroduction of the new casinos. It is losing the old time lifestyle that has made Macau so special. I love this area of St. Lazarus, but life is changing too fast. By opening this cafe, I am encouraging Macau to " Take a Break." What really inspires me here is the idea of " taking a break". Fast-growing development are happening all around, no matter you like it or not, so why don't we take a break before we start off again.
