This blog is still alive!

Just to remind you that I'm still alive and so does the blog... The other day somebody asked me how many pictures of me "riding a bike" I had... well, I decided to answer with a picture. :)

Still I have to thank Hugo Kariokinha Lima (three links :D) for the idea! And Hugo... You won. I couldn't do it in five countries. :) The best I could, 2 countries riding the white thing, and 2 just the idea! eheh

Soon, the report of "Trójmiasto" (three cities).

Bye bye, kisses to cousin.

IFE Sweet party!

This was a party organized by IFE to Erasmus and future students in there. This was kind of a "show your culture" for us Erasmus. Therefore were supposed to cook, and show some portuguese traditions. So we made a video about Portugal, we cooked, and we put Quim Barreiros on! It was great! Take a look at the pictures:

See you in the next post. :)

Todos os caminhhos vão dar a Roma - All paths lead to Rome! - Città più bella

Finally we went to Rome! It was waiting for us! And how amazing it was! Check the pictures and some comments about the whereabouts. :)

We departured from Katowice airport, where we spent a night waiting for the plane. We couldn't sleep so we went to a place where we could see planes. :)

Our plane was schedule to fly at 6:05am. At 6:20am we were inside the plane, only then ready to departure. But there was fog so we had to wait about half an hour. When finally we were ok to go, the captain found some "minor" problem and we had to go back. "we'll try to figure it out as soon as possible, and we'll be in our way in about 30 minutes" he said. 30 minutes......
After sooooo boring times, the plane departed 3 hours (!!!) later! "OMG WE MISSED 3 HOURS OF ROME!!!"

Finally 3 hours delayed we were there!
Weather in Katowice - foggy and a bit cold....
Weather in Rome - Clear sky and about 30º. :D

Our best friend in Rome.

Now that we are in Rome we have to go to the hostel. (We didn't make couchsurfing cuz we are so ugly people and nobody accepted us :( ). And we take the road walking.
