moments that I like... =)

yesterday in the train, on my way back home (from amsterdam) =)

me (drinking an yogurt and eating an apple) - excuse me, do you know if albert hein has already closed?

old lady - since it's sunday, I think it has. (a =/ face)

me (like saying "shit" with the face) - ohh... well, at least I have dinner for today.

old lady - I also have here cookies if you want. I made them myself. it´s not a dinner but it helps.

(laughs)
(me peaking a cookie)

are u studying here?

me - yes I am. I am doing an intership in delft.
hummm... your cookies are really good!!!

old lady - tks!! I made them for my grand-chidren. do you want to see them?

(picture)

me - ohhhh, so cute.

(smiles)

old lady - you have a scientist face. are you on science?

me - wow... yes. how do you know? was it really because of the the face?

old lady - no no, I was just kidding... I realized it by the way you are grabbing the yogurt and the lid with the same hand, just like the scientists do with the cottons.... I was also a scientist once you know!?!

(me smiling)

and where are u from?

me - portugal.

old lady - ohh, u are portuguese. do you know that next week I am going to the portuguese part of india? goa. I am very anxious.

me - oh really? I don't know the place unfortunately. alone?

old lady - no no. my husband is getting really old, even in the mood, very annoying! so he prefers to stay at home resting, I don't know from what. I'm going on a girls trip.

(laughs)

I also plan to go to portugal, but not now. now, while I am still young (laughs), I plan to go as far as I can.

(smiles)
(silence for some time,looking trough the window)

you don't seem portuguese... you seem a small dutch girl!

(laughs)

me - about the dutch part, you are not the first one saying that.

old lady - ohhh... delft is here (sad face). take one more cookie.

me - oh tks... and... well... byeeee. maybe we meet in portugal.

old lady - maybe. byeee. (a smile)

bem fixe!

A few days ago I had a meeting in a dutch company involved in bioethanol production.
It was a meeting like those in the movies, with a big and long table, surrounded by important people discussing important issues.
I went there with my supervisors and, although I was a shadow in that table, very quiet and still, I felt quite important there... well dressed, with my coffee and glass of water. =)



ps - my most recent acquisition to my post-card collection... =)

Parabénssss mãe*** =)

The problem of drinking alcohol...

I don't know if "problem" is the right term here… The truth is that, when we are not used to drink alcohol, 2 or 3 cups of sangria become already a problem! Since yesterday I drunk about 6 cups, you can imagine the problem that it was. I can just imagine... because remembering is a problem!

And well, for the first (and ONLY) time I got drunk in the NL!

Fortunately, the birthday party was in a house next to mine, so I didn’t become such a big problem.

Now I am in my house with my head hurting a lot and hoping that the huge amount of water I have just drunk solves the problem!

=p

differences between portugal and the netherlands...

beach in NL...


beach in PT... (also in the winter)


ps - there are also dogs in the NL, but they are mostly small and their owners don't take them to the beach... I can understand why! =P

ps2 - a kiss to carlos, ju, tania and lu*** =)

If you think that Portuguese people are fast drivers, you should see the Germans... GOD! Terrible terrible! And their cars... I can tell you that last weekend in Hamburg I saw more bmws, audis, mercedes, ferraris, porches, lamborguinis, cryslers, and so on... than in my entire life (the pictures speak for themselfs)!


hahaha!!! =P


Well, but I didn't only visit Hamburg. The trip first started in a little town called Gross Reken, right in the middle of nowhere. Even the hostel, which was in a kind of a forest near the town, was completely empty... me, fred, nuno, lascas, bruno, tatiana, mario and cris were the only guests! It was quite scary, since there was no one there, not even the guy who received us. But it was funny having a living room only for us and also imagine strange noises inside and outside the hostel during the night. =p

About Hamburg... well, beside the great cars, the city is just amazing. Really really nice and full of life (and sex shops... lol!). And the night there is quite something too. I even saw really old people dancing with much more energy that many young guys that were also there. hahaha
Regarding the youth hostel in Hamburg, in contrast to the previous one, this one had more people beside us. One guy (who was completely drunk) even tried to enter in our room during the night, probably thinking that it was his room. He was really NOT nice with the door while he was trying to open it (almost everyone woke up!!!) and when he finally gave up, he went to the bathroom (next to our room) to... well, you can imagine what! =p

well, that's all folks!!! see you in the next post!!!
