Hi guys,
I'm writing this just an hour before our class, so Graham won't have a word to say about a possible miscommitment to the class. I guess i'm the kind of person who likes to work under pressure.

Moving on, Benfica will beat Celtic so I don't understand why Graham even bothers talking about it.

Related to the topic Graham posted on the blog, my opinion is that women should stay at home bringing up the children. At least that's what I would like it to be at my place: I want to have a big family, so my wife must be an old-fashioned woman. But, if she isn't, I will accept that.

I think Portugal is a great place to live, because it has the best of both worlds: the sunny weather of most of he 3rd world countries and the economics of a developed one (although in less quantity - this goes for both). Anyway, I would rather live here than in Scotland, for example, where it rains all year round, or in Brazil, where I can get killed if I wear something a little fancy.

My favourite sport is rugby. Altough I quit playing a couple of years ago, I still care about my club and, obviously, for the portuguese national team. In Portugal, rugby moves much less money than football, because it is still an amateur sport. I think that's why it's such a fair sport.

I would describe the British people as too polite for my taste. Portuguese people, being part of the latin people, are much more passionate than the british. If you're in an argument with a british person, you cannot refuse his opinion without adding a «mm-mm» or a «oh really?!». If I did that whit my friends, I would be considered a bit sissy.

I would prefer money to time. I actually have a lot of free time by this point of my life, but I don't have enough money to enjoy it. Against Graham's way of life, I actually need money to have fun. You can´t buy anything using time as a coin.

Like Marta, I just finished reading "Por Amor da Índia". Funny coincidence. I didn't like it, but I do understand she did. It's really a women's book.

That's all for today.
