You'd think the above picture of a sign board was taken from a local museum!
The photo was taken with a mobile phone in January 2009 when I visited a colleague in the Primary Health Centre (PHC), Fort, Big Daman.
Whoever says that the Portuguese language is on the decline in Daman, is certainly not living in Daman - this sign board is being used by a government establishment!
50-year old Portuguese sign board still in use!
Culture Wise INDIA debuts in Portugal!
Dr. Adelino Costa probably is the first person in Portugal to buy a copy of my book, “Culture Wise INDIA!”
Here’s what he has to say...
Caro Noel,
Recebi hoje o teu livro que tinha encomendado. Provavelmente é o primeiro que chega a Portugal. Está muito bonito, muito bem ilustrado e é muito informativo.
Parabéns.
Adelino Costa
Portugal

Dr. Costa has been a good friend and mentor for a decade. We first met in 1999 when he visited Daman when he was the Director of Fundação Oriente in Goa and have kept in touch since.
