[Goanet] Goan Houses and Not Portuguese Houses

[Ana Maria de souza-Goswami]

Hi,

I am surprised that people refer to Goan houses as Portuguese ones.  We do 
not, I repeat do not have Portuguese houses but Goan.

If anyone of you saw the last episode (repeat one) on Contacto Goa (RTP) 
featured on architecture in Goa. Even the anchor Fransisco Machado said 
'There are no Portuguese houses like these in Goa in Portugual, these are 
Goan houses'.

Some Goans while trying to sell their house, say 'Portuguese house'.  On my 
visits to Portugual I have never seen houses in Goa in Portugal.
