Hey, this is fun. I don't think we've had a Salcete-versus-Bardez
bashing match for ages. Or, have we ever had it? Must invite the
ultimate Salcete-basher, Cecil Pinto.
BTW, we guys in Bardez are less casteist than you. Not because we're
more liberal, but because we migrated more. (Where are your St
Joseph's Arpora and Mater Dei Saligao in Salcete?) And then, we had a
convenient collective (selective) loss of memories. FN
