It's raining, man! Hallelujah!
Yesterday, finally, the rain came. Everybody were expecting it, but me. It came suddenly, without advice. I mean, it was weeks since the forecast told us it have been rained. Every day. And never happened.
And then, yesterday afternoon, it happened.
Why yesterday? I don't know. But I know it made two children very happy. In fact yesterday afternoon we have a guest, a little fellow of an orphanage. Me, my little son and our guest were having an ice cream while suddenly the sun stop shining and the sky was full of clouds.The wind started to roar and it wasn't really comforting.
We shall bring back our little guest to the orphanage, but at the moment we reached the car the rain started to fall. Some, then more, tons of rain. In Luanda, when it rains, everybody think is better to take the car, so at the same moment six millions of people get off offices and take car to come back home, while the streets seems more rivers than streets. That means that one can stay one hour in his car just to drive two kilometers!
I thought about all this and I decided to come back home, our little guest could stay with us that night. He was very happy, but my son was happier to have a friend to play with! I hate the rain, but in some cases, it can bring happiness!

"que legal" em português europeu
falando com pessoas da Brazil, eles frequentemente disseram "que legal!"
Eu aqui preciso de falar português europeu, então a minha pergunta é: como é a tradução de "que legal" em português europeu?

peixe
Hoje de tarde foi a procurar o peixe ao mercado. Esso não é um mercado com banquetes e vendedores, mas são os pescadores que tiram barcos na praia quando a pescaria está acabada, e vendem os peixes que conseguiram de pescar.
Eu gosto muito ir para lá. Gosto de ir na areia, o odor de peixe e agua, as pessoas, as fofocas e os gritos.
Eu sempre tento entender as conversas, mas é muito difícil, pois que eles falam português em mistura com dialetos africanos, por exemplo o Kimbundu.

Choises that are going to change your life
Sometimes we make choices that are going to change our lives.
When my husband and me decided to have a baby, we didn't even know how this decision would have turn upside down our lives as we were used to live them.
That I was thinking yesterday night as I was trying to put my two-years-old toddler into bed. Our neighbour invited us and other friends for a dinner. We ate and drank, and before the dessert, as he had a guitar and could play it, we started to sing some italian songs. I was enjoying it so much, but suddenly my boy came to me asking to go to bed because he was tired (and it was very late for him, indeed). So I had to leave the party to bring my baby in his bedroom. I was a little upset, all of the other guests didn't have children and so they could leave the party when they wanted, but not me, I feel like when I took the choice to receive a new life in my life, I've lost part of my freedom. But suddenly, my baby boy turned, his eyes shut, his breath low and relaxed, and his hand reached for my body before he fell deeply asleep. And I was sure that my choice worthed it.

Vida africana
Há quatro meses moro na Angola. Mais precisamente na Luanda, a major cidade de Angola.
Aqui a minha vida é muito diferente que na Itália, não tenho de trabalhar, o meu filho (ele tem dois anos) pode ficar comigo todo o dia.
Mas está também difícil porque ninguém fala inglês e quando cheguei aqui eu não falavo português. Ainda agora preciso de aprender mais porque não connosco muito bem a gramática portuguesa e muitas vezes eu falo "portugliano", e vou a usar palavras italianas como se seria portuguesas.

dever or ter?
It's quite hard for me to understand the difference between "dever" and "ter".
For example...
you should do that. "você deve fazê-lo"
you have to turn right. "você tem que virar à direita"
...why not "você deve virar à direita" ?
