Sorry for the short hiatus...we are still in Old Goa, right? This is the pic of the southern side of the Se Cathedral, another 16th century Portuguese construct. It's a Baroque building, facing east and a grand lawn, and a huge statue of Jesus, of which I do not have a decent pic to show off. The gal in the pic is obviously my model. (She thoroughly confused the natives because of her features and the tudung...are you Chinese? Japanese? Taiwanese? Actually Indian citizens coming from the far northeast of India do indeed have Chinese features. :-)). She is leaning against a rather loud proclamation - that the complex of Old Goa churches has been designated World Heritage Monuments by the UN (in 1986)...which I don't think our Melaka can ever achieve.
The interior of the Se Cathedral was dark and spooky when I entered, with almost nobody around. The altar looked impressive, typical of Baroque/Gothic churches in Europe. And the missus? She stayed outside...I'm scared lah, she muttered. Anyway, a lady wearing tudung in a cathedral? :-)
