Ding a ling a ling
Going over half of the world to:
- kill many saudades (a literal translation; give me a break, I'm portuguese);
- revisit a place where I've spent my early childhood dreams.
- attend a wedding - the main excuse.
I'd say it's mainly an anthropological expedition.

"an anthropological expedition"
Wow. Wish I could tag along.

Who are you?
For ages have i read your blog. For ages and ages have i wondered "who is this girl/woman?"
Like a movie character, an unplausible one, you write, read and talk like no one i have ever known, and yet you write about the same places, cities and bars in Bairro Alto i go to. (O bar do Victor, cujo o nome nunca me lembro, algo a haver com loucos e sonhadores).
Have you gone to Macau? Is that what you mean? If you have shivers creep down my spine, for that city is my spiritual and physical birthplace and where MY childhood dreams live on.
Just tell me: Who are you? What do you do? Are you for real?
