Macau, Taipa as it was in 1960 澳门 

Dear Michael, forgive me for being a pest with my comments & my excitement. I just spotted our old family home @ 00:21 of the film. A grand 3 story house, pale green colour in the middle, slightly obscured by the tree. Traditional Chinese funerals are held at home and I guess that was where you took a picture of my grandfather's funeral. I was born in this house in 1942 and came to Hong Kong in 1950. This brings back such fond memories of my childhood. It was sold and demolished in 1967. Shame!

I like this só much

記得細個跟我母親返澳門的娘家，就係住喺南灣對住大海，仲一排樹木，非常之美，仲看到有魚民，很多教堂，剛剛看到的風景，這就是我阿媽的娘家，記得中央洒店，這個小島已經面目全非，我在五十年出世，已經有睹埸，我舅父是在睹場做打何，仲有個舅父是東方的士老細，去到的大人打麻雀，可以由朝打到晚！ 看到澳門的舊風景，是非常珍貴嘅回憶！😀

澳門60年代民風純樸，令人緬懷

Thank you. I live in Macao since born

I think that area is preserved 0:17 I will check again.

So, I was just in time to take my pictures of the house. Glad to hear that it brings back fond memories. Do you have any pictures of olden times?

wow! is this footage 16mm? was it originally filmed by you? were the sound clips also recorded in the streets of macau back then?

@MysticDr - Must have been a terrible time for him. Most people talk little of what they experienced then.

路環，曾經自成一隅，現今已成賭塲後勤地。

the problem with macau in the 60s was that the chinese didnt want ppl going in there to gamble cause they knew money would leave china to macau, so macau was very isolated casinos arent a new thing in macau they are old, first casnos appeared in macau in the 19 century, but they never grew cause china didnt wanted ppl going there most ppl didnt have money to bet anyways

My father told me that he was interned in Taipa for the duration of the war for defying a Japanese officer.

當然係二十世紀...

都话1960年19就是19世紀！

no macau tower, no venetian, no peoples liberation force...
