    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    Culture and Sport

    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, Chinese Culture and Natural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

    My Time at the United Nations University Some Memories∗

    My Time at the United Nations University Some Memories∗ Kees Middelburg Foreword Medio 1995 I was approached with the request to consider applying for the job of senior research fellow at the United Nations University International Institute for Software Technology (UNU-IIST) in Macau. At the time UNU-IIST trained young graduated people from developing countries in doing computer science re- search or advanced software development, gave post-graduate computer science courses and software engineering courses in developing countries, assisted lec- turers at universities in developing countries with the development of a software engineering curriculum, et cetera. I applied for the job and was appointed for the calendar years 1996 and 1997. My work included training people in doing computer science research and giving post-graduate computer science courses. Both took place in Macau as well as developing countries. This means that for two years I lived basically in Macau and traveled frequently to developing countries. During these two years the idea developed to write down memories of my time at UNU-IIST, but my job took too much time to do so. Prompted by my coming retirement, I took up this writing in 2012 in the form of a blog. Below, I have brought together the blog posts concerned. ∗Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Inter- national License (for details, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/). 1 The Very First Days On New Years Day 1996 and the next day, the very first days of my appointment at UNU-IIST, I travelled from Voorschoten, the Dutch village where I lived, to Macau.

    RELIGION AND CUSTOMS Religion and Customs Religion and Customs The Basic Law of the Macao SAR states: “Macao residents shall have freedom of religious belief, and freedom to preach and to conduct and participate in religious activities in public.” The Government, consistent with the principle of religious freedom, shall not interfere in the internal affairs of religious organisations or in the efforts of religious organisations and their believers in Macao to maintain and develop relations with their counterparts outside Macao, or restrict religious activities which do not contravene the laws of the SAR. The Macao SAR protects the freedom of religion, worship and belief in general denominations through the Freedom of Religion and Worship Law (Law No. 5/98/M). It states that the Macao SAR does not recognise a state religion. Its relationships with all denominations are founded on the principles of separation and neutrality. The law further stipulates that all religious denominations are equal before the law. Coexistence of Different Religions Macao fully realises the diversity of religions. In addition to Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism – the main belief systems of the local community – later arrivals such as Catholicism, Protestantism and Islam coexist in Macao. Adherents of various beliefs participate in religious anniversaries and celebrate their traditional festivals in their own distinctive ways. For instance, the Macao Catholic Diocese conducts traditional religious processions associated with the Catholic calendar, including the processions of Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lord of Passion, and Corpus Christi. During Buddhist festivals, crowds of followers worship and burn incense sticks, and recite sutras for the enlightenment of all beings.

An example of working together to fulfi ll a spiritual mission for humanity is presented to us in this book. It is a matter in this work of a collaboration between two great spiritual teachers of humanity in the twentieth century: Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and Valentin Tomberg (1900-1973). Rudolf Steiner’s life work culminated in the ‘baptismal event’ for the Second Coming of Christ expressed in the Foundation Stone of Love and clothed in the words of the Foundation Stone Meditation.
