Portugal: first impression
I arrived at Lisbon Airport on Saturday 30 april at 00:10. So the first thing I saw was the capital at night. For me everything was brand new, I have never been in Portugal before.
First impression great, I like city at night, especially its old part.
And right now, I still think Lisbon is lovely.

I spent my first month doing my portuguese course and doing all formal things and, of course meeting lots of new people and visiting Lisbon. And believe me I really enjoyed my classes, new friends and Lisbon.

I hope its just a beginning of my great portugal adventure :)
