Five things I am missing most

- talking to mom daily.

- gol-gapps.

- getting lost in shopping.

- all lovely eat out places.

- my pampering session at the parlor.

Five things I am craving for

- Kaddu and Karela ( well that’s wierd but we don’t get them here :-( )

- Hot steaming yummy tasty,mouth watering stuff at adigas ;D

- Books ( English books are rare and damn expensive here :-| )

- The long girly talk over the phone :P

- Riding the two wheeler !!

Five things I am enjoying

- The long clean roads and non polluted air.

- The swiss rolls,chocolate bread,pasta,cheese, fritters, butter bread and more fun stuff.

- The trams and metro liners.

- The day light until 9 pm.

- The picturesque landscapes and European colonies.

Five things I find wierd/annoying

- Nobody talks in English

- All the labels and names everywhere are in the local language.

- In Portuguese the spelling and pronounciation does not go along.

- There is nothing called MRP. The same thing is prized differently in different outlets.

- You have got to walk a lot and lot. The roads are extremely steep. By the time you reach the other end of the road; you have your pulse racing and sweat on the forehead.

Five observations

- People are generally friendly. They start conversing thinking that you know their language.

- It is nice to see old couples travelling together,hand in hand.

- People are obsessed with tattoos.

- Too much of PDA irrespective of venue,time and everything else.

- There is no limiting age and number to have kids. :D

It seems fun though,
you get to eat loads of other interesting stuff and walk it all off too!
I envy you those walks :D

BlueMist - CR thanks :-) I actually never linked these two things :D Now I should complain less about the walks I guess .. ;-)

BlueMist : Yes fun times. It is worth watching the changing colors of sky during the evening. About cafes ; you know how much I would be interested in them right ? :P

hey this is nice to know about a place which is absolutely apposite to our country (clean roads and no pollution! ) :)

No English book? now that’s wierd for sure… but good thing you walk a lot after your chocolates, pasta and god knows what all mouthwatering delicacies! :))

BlueMist : Yeah that’s something really appreciating here and Donb’t know how many years India would take to be clean and pollution free. :-|

Actually the country is very specific when it comes to native language. probably that’s why English has taken back seat here.

Yeah I realized that. In India we only eat , no walks :D
