Sorry Kati, but I have to have the last word in this EVS-Blog! 🙂
Well, I think there are so many things to say, but I’ll just write a little bit about how it is to be back again.. I have to admit, it’s running better than I thought. At the moment I’m really enjoying my time here, just hanging around with friends and not thinking to much. Maybe that’s a thing I learned in Portugal, don’t think too much, just do it. If you don’t do it, you miss the chance.
Weird is, that what I miss most of Portugal, are the things that annoyed me most when I was there. I miss the stupid telenovelas all evening long, because I have to admit that TV here is NOT as good as a remembered it, I miss the Nazi-jokes, because no one here speaks about those things and I miss the guys staring at me!! Don’t laugh, I hated it in Portugal but since I’m here I’m really missing to get some attention because in Austria no one would EVER say a word and everyone’s just gazing his way long. Stupid I know, but I can’t explain it.
I want to speak Portuguese again and it’s SO hard to find Portuguese in Vienna. I want to say ainda bem and tipo to someone because I can’t translate those expressions and my friends don’t understand bem! At least I found a Portuguese restaurante, where they have Bacalhau a Bras and Rissois de Camarao, I’ll go there soon and I guess come back often 🙂 by the way, I really, really miss the food, I have phases where I could die for Rissois de Camarao and I’m smelling the shrimps 🙂 And I miss the smell of the ocean! I hate Austria for not having an ocean!
Oh God, when I start writing about all those things I’m really getting tantas saudades.. at the moment I’m just pushing it away, after I got home I put all the things in a box and I haven’t found time yet even to look at it. And all the pictures. And read the blog. So I’m just pushing it away to think about the great time we had. I don’t believe that I left Portugal just three weeks ago because for me it already feels like half a year. And I don’t want this! And want to remember me everyday about the great year!
Exactly one year ago our EVS began. And now it already started for the new volunteers. It feels strange to be replaced like this, but that’s the way it goes. I wish you have the greatest time in the world, enjoy every second!!
PS: Don’t take the video too serious because we were drunk and I don’t even remember bem what we talked 😉
