Interview of a Clerk By: Jackie Wong
Interview in the Catholic Church As I walk around in the gray Catholic Cemetery in the pouring rain, I saw a man carrying a small tin sliver-colored tomb box for what was left of these lifeless bodies. I quickly ran up to him and stopped him from walking away from this tragic place. He thought I was crazy, but he agreed to let me interview him and here’s what I got out: This 60-year-old man is named Cheung Dut Foo. Since he LOVES Macau because he was born here, he doesn’t have any worries about the Handover in 1999. Although he is born in Macau, he has a Hong Kong ID card. That’s because he has worked in Hong Kong for 10 years. He was in Macau for about 50 yrs. Now, as I said, he LOVES Macau. But there are some things that he doesn’t like about Macau at all. What he doesn’t like about about Macau is that people Cheung Dut Foo was born in a large family. He has 8 brothers and sisters. As I bid goodbye to this nice guy because my group leader was calling me to go on the bus, this guy quickly went to the office man and said to him that this school has crazy kids. And that’s the end of this Interview. To read more about Cemeteries, read Becky William’s report. It will be about 2 cemeteries: The Catholics and the Protestants.
After we got off the revolting, yucky, low-ceiling bus and after Ms. Heinrich had finish her speech, we all went into the beautiful Maritime Museum. My group went to the bathroom and me and my buddy was walking around in the souvenir shop. After looking around, I found employee working. After getting rejected twice, I finally went to a souvenir cashier woman. Her name was Janet. She was born in Burma, and has 2 older brothers and 3 older sisters. She was in Macau for 27 yrs. She too has no worries with the Handover. She said, "Since Hong Kong is still the same after the Handover, then I believe that Macau might stay the same, so I have no worries." Although she likes Macau, she still has dislikes. She doesn’t like the government and the immigration. But then, she obviously has likes also. She likes that Macau is improving and getting more improvement of technology things and that more and more museums are getting build. After I said thank you again, she waved. I went up the stairs to finish my booklet. And that was the end of my interview with the lady. For more information about the Maritime Museum, please read Sean Fifer’s report. |
