Hello, Erja!
I’m Maria. I’m from Lisbon but since last year I live in Braga city. I’m a 40 years old woman. I’ve no children.
You are my first post crossing-pal!
I’m really happy that the first random person I had, you, is from Finland. Why? Well, your country has been often quoted in the Portuguese television and newspapers because it has the best school system in Europe.
Well… What else can I say?
I think you are really lucky to live near the sea. For ten years I lived in Azores islands. And now, here in Braga, I’m missing the sea very much.
I hope you don’t have difficulties understanding what I wrote. My English is not very good, I know.
Best wishes, Zé
