This triggered off my curiosity.... In the Mango and The Tamarind Tree, Leslie de Noronha writes: "Philomena --- Macao having nothing exclusive or finishing to offer --- grew to maturity in a convent in Goa."
Needless to say, this is a fictional work. But then, fiction tends to oftentimes be realistic too. So, a question to Bernardo Colaço: is it true that Macau lacked educational facilities of that kind a generation or so ago? How did it compare to Goa then? Just curious...
