Things I have enjoyed:
Flying on a380's
Travelling on trains
Seeing relatives for the third time (on average)
The weather has been a good mix of hot and cold
Architecture of old buildings
The ruins of mum's old house
BREAD ohhhhh the bread is damn good
The cheapness of eating out is unbelievable
Travelling 215 km/h on a train
The views
Some of the food tasted wonderful
Cheap shopping
(Make that 220 km/h)
Most importantly, being able to attend my grandmother's 100th birthday celebrations
Montalegre
Being able to watch the eurovision song contest on live television (albeit a semi final)
The beauty of the bridges and train tunnels around the river at porto
Things I didn't enjoy:
People are licensed to drive but they mustn't have many road rules
Being completely alone only when I went to bed
Getting sick
Not packing enough hankies or antihistamines
Some of the food wasn't very nice
Other foods were nice once only but reappeared multiple times at future meals
Hot weather
The beds I have slept in
Almost every retail complex I visited had the same songs as what I work with
The drive from braga to Pisões
My cousin and goddaughter picked this time to visit Melbourne *forehead slap* lol
Things I miss about home:
My bed
A big shower
My chookies
My friends
My job
Asian foods
Cooking for myself and others
3aw
Footy talk
My truck
Having a sticky beak on mobile apps to see if there are any handsome fellas nearby lol
Frasier (last time I was in Portugal they showed "roz and the shnoz")
Talking to my neighbour
Gardening
Things I'll miss about Portugal:
Cousin Paula
BREAD!
good pork meat
Things I have learned:
I still don't travel well with others
I still don't live well with others
I still don't enjoy the company of children therefore am happy with knowing I'll never father any
I need a better paying job to save up and come back alone to explore
Portugal has little to no level crossings
I love to share photos on Facebook
My Portuguese is better than I expected
The birthday party wasn't nearly as scary as I thought
I do have a concept of self confidence in social situations once in a while
Lisbon has a garbo strike so it's a bit dirty on the streets at the moment
Dummy spits:
x1 quietly
x1 loudly
