Already 4 weeks past since my arrival last month. Well, what did Ifound out about Portugal so far?
Portuese winter is an expierence not really worth making, but now it’s little too late.I never expacted Portugal to be that rainy. Sometimes the raining stops just to appear another five times on the very same day.
So due to the raining I have not been out so much. Still I can say going out in Bairro Alto. A lot of small streets, full of people, cheap drinks (compared to German prices) and all are in a good mood.
good mood? hmm, pasteis de natal get me in good mood. Over here we spend a lot of time in cafes. Which is always a good place to try out my portuguese skills. By now they are not enough to write the blog in portuguese language. So I stick trying out Portuguese food. I already had 3 varieties of Balcalhau so there are 998 left to go. As there is saying pointing out that there are 1001 ways of Bacalhau dishes.
In february I will have On-Arrival-Training where I will learn more about Portugal and its people and I will also meet a lot of other volunteers from Europe, with whom I can explore Lisboa and the surrounding a lit bit more.
