Portuguese Elections - Finally some hope! :)

Finally we got rid of that "jet-set" prime-minister! And the left side of politics got a lot stronger! Congratulations to Portugal!!!
Let's hope the new prime-minister will keep his promise of investing in technology and science!

Free Offers: Why Only US and UK?

While surfing the Internet you can now apply for thousands of free offers. But what's more frustrating to me and I'm sure a lot of people worldwide is that most of them are only valid in US or UK. OK, sometimes also in Canada.:) Why is that? I know they have to pay more for post expenses but what if the person who applies for these offers is willing to pay those expenses? I think I wouldn't mind paying that if I could win 1 free iPOD or 1 free laptop! That's just not fair!

Books

Since I learned how to read (and even before that), I've been a book addict. Sometimes, I just don't have enough time to read all I want, but I remember that some years ago, one of my greatest wishes was to read all the books that exist. Of course now I know that it's impossible but isn't it a wonderful dream for a child to have?:)
My favourite authors (at least those I can remember) are: Stephen King, J. K. Rowling, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Álvaro de Magalhães (this one is Portuguese), Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel, Gabriel Garcia Márquez and a lot others I just forgot. Good night to all!
