For students on the Lusophone boat

Are you a Portuguese student at Cambridge? Have you survived an endless visa application? Are you somewhere in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Maputo, or Lisbon, wondering why you can't understand a word in Portuguese, the language you studied for two bloody years? Then this blog is for you. Share your pictures, videos, worries, insiders' tips on accommodation, working, studying, and travelling. And find out that you're not the only one misusing the subjunctive. Wherever you are, document what you're up to. In English or Portuguese, it doesn't matter. As long as you keep in touch!

It pays to speak Portuguese!

I was at the end of a very long queue outside the Uffizi in Florence when I heard a group of Brazilians behind me: "Gente, com quatro euro você entra logo sem fila nenhuma!" It turned out there was a much quicker way into the museum. Because it was Heritage Day you could buy a discount ticket and enter through another door. It saved me at least 2 hours!

Oi

Olá a todos, o que se passa? Já estou em Maputo e estou a curtir muito... Podem ler algo que escreví aqui. Há algumas fotos... hei-de fazer upload de mais daqui há pouco.

Hope you're all enjoying yourselves!
