Os Lusíadas

There are been several discussions about the portuguese language here in Portugal. My small contribution with this epic: Luís de Camões - Os Lusíadas.

As armas e os barões assinalados,
Que da ocidental praia Lusitana,
Por mares nunca de antes navegados,
Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,
Em perigos e guerras esforçados,
Mais do que prometia a força humana,
E entre gente remota edificaram
Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;

Go Lisbon, Go!

Another big event (in parallel with the U2´s concert) to happen next year here in Portugal: The Portuguese city of Lisbon has been chosen to host the MTV European Awards in 2005.
After hosting the Rock in Rio 2004, my country receives another chance to improve its economic performance that is currently nothing less than a disgrace compared with other EU countries…

p.s. have you noticed that all major events happen in Lisbon? Macrocephaly problem? Absolutely!
