The way I see Portugal

I remember that the first thing that impressed me when I arrived in Portugal and I got out of the plane was the air. So my first reaction was "Wow, I can breath!". In Bucharest I often feel that I can´t breath because the air there is so poluted.
Another thing that I really liked was the capital city, Lisbon. If someone would ask me to describe Bucharest using a colour I would say grey and I think that colour got to influence the people living there, they are always stressed, always in a hurry and they have that grey view over everything. I found here a totally different picture. All the way from Lisbon to Mirandela I saw white, pink, yellow and light green buildings.
We have been living in Mirandela for a month and 11 days. I think we accomodated quite well. Maybe it was easier for me than for my coleagues because I study in Bucharest but I come from a small city called Mangalia which is more like Mirandela.
People here are really nice and friendly, although their habits are different from ours. We always take lots of pictures because it´s a verry green, beautiful country and we try to keep as many memories as we can of it.
I´m verry fond of traditional Romanian food and I though it would be difficult to adjust to a different food, but I´m glad to say that we all seem to get along really well with the Portuguese way of cooking.
The Prtuguese lessons are really helpfull. I also started reading a book in Portuguese because I find that an easy, pleasant way to learn a language. So I´m glad to be here and I hope the next months will be as nice as the first one.
