O Mundo de Claudia

I give up!

Ok. Portugal beat England. It was a very good match. After it ended, the usual cheering and honking began. I had to go see what was happening around town and people were unbelievably happy and strangely united. People of every race, color or creed :-)

The sign above says "Boa sorte, Inglaterra" = "Good luck, England". Ha!

Even the police couldn't resist it. If football is the only way to make portuguese people feel more close to one another...well, what the hell. It's better than if we had to stick together because we were at war or something. Oh, and I got mooned by an englishman. Too bad I hadn't the camera ready or else his ass would be on the internet right now. :-D

I bet yesterday's Daily Mirror front page doesn't look as amusing now!

I heard on the radio this morning that the Governor of the Bank of Portugal says the recession is over. Or maybe he's been carried away by the national enthusiasm? :-))))
