Blaaaaaaanche!

Helloooooo dears!

Well, here I am in Lisbon... well Oeiras actually, but it's all the same! I've sent most of you an e-mail with everything and a text with my new number. If you want my Portuguese number, just e-mail me!

My flat is in a very residential area, so it's nice and quiet. Downside is that the flat is quite cool at the moment, which I'm sure I'll be grateful for in summer, but at the moment, it's a tad chilly, eventhough it's 20ºC outside!

I found the beaches:


And my flat looks like something out of the Golden Girls Set!


Which I think is nice! Lisbon is a great city, with lots of nice squares and monuments, plus the whole place is easy to explore on foot, or you can go on the Metro if you're feeling lazy! I found a nice shopping centre close to my Uni called "O Centro Comercial Colombo", which is very Trafford Centre-esque, and caters for lots of tastes, and has a huge discount Carrefour-like shop in it where you can buy most things. It has a massive foodcourt, and basically, it's really good!

All the monuments and everything look nice and it's very "Old Europe". I'm glad I'm close to the beach too, so I can sunbathe, relax and have a read. Or if I'm feeling energetic, I can go for a run along the front, which has a nice smooth path to run along, which is a rarity in Lisbon, as all the paths are cobbled with white marble.

It's easy to get to and from uni, as there is a frequent train service, which connects to the Metro, and I think it'll take at the very most, an hour to complete the journey.

Well, that's all for now blogettes. I'll blog soon when I have more news!
