Lio Man Cheong ‘Heavenly horses have no bounds’

by Rogério Beltrão Coelho
and Cecília Jorge

He is gentle-mannered, softly spoken, quiet and pensive. More thoughts than words, you would say. As if the artist in him was ever present, his strokes guided by a feeling deep inside, to portray the ambience that has surrounded him since childhood. Not letting go the urge to capture time – past and present – so that memories can be left for future generations. Lio Man Cheong is one of the Macau artists […]

Grand Prix Museum: Witness to History

by Chris W. C. Sam, Institute For Tourism Studies (IFT)

There are currently over 20 museums in Macao, with the Museum of Macao, the Macao Museum of Art, and the Maritime Museum best known to the public, followed by the Grand Prix Museum.

Ask The Vet: Kittens do swallow objects

by Dr Ruan Du Toit Bester

Cats love playing with long thin objects, but they can easily swallow them. This is a huge problem and it’s something I see pretty often working in emergency rooms.
