Pardon my English!

**********************************************************************
Well, as they say, the world is a global village therefore, being English the commercial language used worldwide, it's easier to make "business" in Shakespeare's language than in Camões's one! ;)
My business is to improve my English so that I can make some use of what I have learned. I have studied the language for many years and I think my reading and listening comprehension skills are at a good level , but I have not that much speaking or writing practise.
So, here I am with the purpouse of improving my English skills because I'm fed up to listen to my 8 years old cousin saying that I'd be better of speaking portuguese... Ok, she's in fact british but I want to be able to order my Macmenu on my own! :)

I think I want an adventure...


A once in a lifetime adventure….


Setting off in London in April 2004, Ewan and Charley travelled through some of the most beautiful, and at times dangerous, terrain the world has to offer. Crossing over into mainland Europe, they rode through France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska, Canada before arriving 115 days later at their final destination, New York City, USA.


Ewan McGregor: “Now it’s come to an end I can hardly believe that we’ve made our dreams come true and although at times its been very, very tough, the people and places on the way have moved and touched me to my core. It’s been a ‘Long Way Round’ but I’m glad to be home.”


Charley Boorman: “The trip has been incredible in itself but it’s the people in all the countries that we’ve met that have made it fantastic.”


You can check the website Long Way Round, see the DVD's or read the book. And they are out again! This time cruising Africa.







You can also check out the portuguese adventure BuenaYork, from Buenos Aires to New York, still on the road!
