Live&Direct from Portugal: Casa da Música in Oporto nominated for Building of 2007

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! :)

Casa da Música in Oporto nominated for Building of 2007

Channel 4 is going to present the winner of the RIBA Stirling Prize 2007, but they also want to know which building the public likes best.

The Casa da Música in Oporto is on the Stirling Prize 2007 shortlist, along with America's Cup Building, Dresden Station Redevelopment, Museum of Modern Literature, Savill Building and Young Vic Theatre, and at the moment our cultural building is the one with most votes from the public.

We portuguese people really support what's ours ! Even if it wasn't design by a portuguese... :P
