type='text'>2 Anos</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;No passado dia 12, cumpri 2 anos de Manchester e a melhor coisa que se pode dizer sobre um local, é que sei que um dia que retorne a Portugal, vou ter saudades e que já tenho um monte de recordações tecidas aqui.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Com o passar do tempo vamos criando rotinas, vamos coleccionando lugares aqui que nos são especiais e vamos conhecendo também algumas pessoas que nos vão marcando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ao longo destes 2 anos muita coisa foi mudando. Já mudei de casa, já estou no 2.º emprego em Inglaterra, já viajei imenso (dentro e fora do Reino Unido) e finalmente comprei uma lâmina de barbear digna desse nome.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;No dia em que decidi vir para Manchester e aceitar a proposta que tinha recebido, sabia que seria uma aposta. E obviamente que ao fim deste tempo, já ganhei e já perdi. A jogada nunca deixaria de ser arriscada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Continuo sem planear o dia em que abandone Manchester. Valha a verdade, nem penso muito nisso.&lt;/span&gt; Gosto de seguir os meus feelings e se por enquanto a minha cabeça não pensa totalmente em regressar a casa, então é porque ainda estou bem aqui.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Agora digam-me se não gostavam de viver numa cidade que já ofereceu ao mundo da música, todos

A verdade é que por todo o lado se continuam a erguer prédios, as imobiliárias abrem portas, a rua parece um desfile de carros topo de gama, mas os salários do comum mortal trabalhador continuam estagnados, iguais aos valores praticados há 10 anos atrás quando o nível de vida é sobejamente mais barato.&lt;br /&gt;Portugal está muito bom, tão bom que se compram casas a 50 anos e carros a 10. Tão bom que aos 27 anos, a maior parte da população continua a morar em casa dos pais, mesmo os que têm emprego, porque não têm posses de sair e sustentar uma casa.&lt;br /&gt;Acho que volto em 2012, porque segundo a Organização para a Cooperação e o Desenvolvimento Económicos (OCDE) a taxa de desemprego em Portugal irá baixar para 4,8% nesse ano. Até lá mais de meio milhão segue desempregado, juntando-se-lhes a camada estudantil e os reformados, mais os desempregados fantasma que nunca fizeram descontos e por isso não constam das taxas de desemprego oficiais.&lt;br /&gt;A realidade é esta &lt;a href="http://www.publico.clix.pt/shownews.asp?id=1281585"&gt;http://www.publico.clix.pt/shownews.asp?id=1281585&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-7621571047415972162?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/7621571047415972162/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=7621571047415972162' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/7621571047415972162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/7621571047415972162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2007/01/portugal-est-ptimo-para-passar-frias.html' title='Portugal está óptimo... para passar férias!'/><author><name>redordead</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12857795571902132909</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bvsx9Gx2yCQ/TWAuAaPuucI/AAAAAAAACHU/9kagTLaJJcc/s220/MM.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-8414067163792498307</id><published>2007-01-23T23:39:00.000Z</published><updated>2007-01-23T23:48:31.852Z</updated><title type='text'>No outro dia fui à bola!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Eu e mais 25 mil pessoas num simples jogo de taça, numa noite chuvosa de Terça-Feira!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Man City 2 X 1 Sheffield Wednesday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/1osKO7x3ppXWQ73f9" width="425" height="334" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-8414067163792498307?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/8414067163792498307/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=8414067163792498307' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/8414067163792498307'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/8414067163792498307'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2007/01/no-outro-dia-fui-bola.html' title='No outro dia fui à bola!'/><author><name>Man Next Door</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dZwQvarzO34/SVD9hbvhKmI/AAAAAAAAAvg/UD2DuWNkNdw/S220/v94xDU136972-02.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-5705116629823870263</id><published>2007-01-10T18:46:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-12-09T09:33:28.793Z</updated><title type='text'>Férias, férias, férias!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2gJ5Yn1BlZE/RaU3jjxC81I/AAAAAAAAAD4/N47ZHmGi384/s1600-h/oporto.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018478443810190162" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 217px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" height="320" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2gJ5Yn1BlZE/RaU3jjxC81I/AAAAAAAAAD4/N47ZHmGi384/s320/oporto.jpg" width="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Dentro de 3 dias, a esta hora, estarei a aterrar em terras lusas, no meu Porto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amor, amigos, família, cheiros, lugares, paisagens, cores...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já só penso nisso e toda eu sou contagem decrescente... 72 hours to go!

Pois bem, não nego que as saudades são mais que muitas e que as pessoas que “deixamos para trás” de facto estão sempre no nosso mais profundo contemplar da alma. Mas também não posso negar que Manchester e este cinzento UK deram cor e perspectiva a minha vida, e por que não dizer, anseio de vive-la cada vez mais intensamente. Estou com a minha mulher ca, ainda não casados é certo, mas como se o tivéssemos. Sinto falta de muita coisa em Portugal, mas penso que ate ao momento Inglaterra me devolveu compensações pelo que de Portugal me faz falta. De qualquer forma, mesmo sem família, Sol e amigos, encaro a mudança como muito positiva e sem duvida que voltaria a faze-lo. Quanto ao povo inglês, bom ficara para outra altura, porque estou cansado como o caraças e apetece me é ir buscar a minha mãe que esta a chegar hoje. Outras oportunidades virao, e mais a mais não estou nada inspirado, e escrevo agora porque a minha menina e a Moura não param de me chatear para escrever qualquer coisa, e prontos aqui esta, e ah e tal, e não percebo nada e tou cansado e já chega e prontos, ah e verdade, e também tou a ficar emigra, porque isto de falar português, brasileiro, vários idiomas de espanhol e inglês, e complicado para a cabeça, e tal, e prontos, e vistes?, e não sei o que, e ouvistes, e prontos, já chega IRRAAAAA!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Há definitivamente uma coisa que me enerva... é que a acentuação nas maquinas inglesas é chata para fazer e então uma pessoa é obrigado a dar erros em cima de erros, mas pronto, é uma situação suportável.Até é próxima, será melhor, digo eu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JC&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-3905025679528738061?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/3905025679528738061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=3905025679528738061' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/3905025679528738061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/3905025679528738061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2006/12/ca-estamos-e-o-mundo-parece-me-melhor.html' title='Ca estamos e o mundo parece me melhor'/><author><name>Gajo que é ele</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01763550804824035389</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G2TImvKLM5Q/TgyNOB5SdBI/AAAAAAAAAAk/DxGbW6dw4l4/s220/04122010290.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-3891932642513030607</id><published>2006-12-27T23:04:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-12-27T23:07:50.809Z</updated><title type='text'>Palco da Vida</title><content type='html'>Pois é, amigos&lt;br /&gt;É triste, mas é verdade. A situação em Portugal está caótica…&lt;br /&gt;Pensei que voltava para casa e ficava bem.&lt;br /&gt;Mas a coisa é mais complicada do que poderia parecer à partida.&lt;br /&gt;Eu mudei, mas as pessoas e os locais aqui continuam iguais. É como se tivesse regressado ao passado. Mas até aqui, tudo bem. Estranho, mas até engraçado.&lt;br /&gt;A minha verdadeira “depressão” e consciência da realidade tuga, deu-se quando recebi o 1º ordenado depois do meu regresso.&lt;br /&gt;Pior é constatar que em 3 dias a minha conta ficou com menos quase metade do ordenado, só porque caíram as despesas normais mensais (rendas, contas da casa, etc.).&lt;br /&gt;E pensar que eu até sou uma “sortuda” que tenho um crédito habitação privilegiado….&lt;br /&gt;Ou seja em 3 dias vejo metade do meu ordenado desaparecer, e olho para a outra metade e penso, como é que isto me vai dar até ao fim do mês, quando tudo aqui está tão caro? Como é que vou conseguir fazer algo da minha vida assim? O dinheiro mal chega até ao fim do mês, quanto mais dar-me um miminho ou poupar algum….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por isso meus amigos, é com muito pesar que vos digo. Não voltem, neste momento não compensa, aguentem aí mais algum tempo porque neste momento Portugal não tem quase nada para nos oferecer…&lt;br /&gt;E por tudo isto, vos digo, que em pouco tempo acho que vão ter o “prazer” da minha companhia de volta ao pé de vós.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-3891932642513030607?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/3891932642513030607/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=3891932642513030607' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/3891932642513030607'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/3891932642513030607'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2006/12/palco-da-vida.html' title='Palco da Vida'/><author><name>Lara</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04282676970769277587</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-534268605409165175</id><published>2006-12-22T18:07:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-12-22T18:10:48.883Z</updated><title type='text'>A invasão tuga</title><content type='html'>Manchester está a ser invadido de tugas para a época natalícia.&lt;br /&gt;Familiares e amigos chegam e trazem na mala o "calor" humano da nossa terra.

style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;...uma lista quase interminável de coisas, lugares, momentos, cheiros, sentimentos e pessoas. Um tanto que nunca pensei encontrar quando me aventurei nesta viagem cheia de medo e sem nenhuma ideia do que me esperava!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Começou  por ser uma aventura só na primeira viagem de avião em que tudo me aconteceu. Depois passou  por ser dormir no chão  com o colchão emprestado do sofá da sala e decidir à noite o que ia vestir de manhã para ter tempo de tirar do amontoado de malas. Malas estas que andaram perdidas e tive que carregar literalmente pela rua fora até chegar a casa....ufff que noite!!!! Andar cansada, deitar tarde no chão e acordar logo pela manhã quando o que mais queríamos era mais 15 minutos de sono. Depois foram as noites a jogar ao Stop e os dias a ver sites  à procura de casa nos intervalos das oito horas de formação em sala ...em que eu variava entre o babar prestes a dormir e o desesperar por não estar a perceber nada daquilo.&lt;br /&gt;Depois vimos a luz e encontramos um “paraíso” em Whythenshawe com o 105 à porta que nos levava direiiiitinhas à porta do trabalho e ao centro. As grades representavam a protecção ideal contra os tão falados vândalos reconhecidos pelos fatos de treino preto e capuz na cabeça. Até agora não me aconteceu nada e a vocês??? Sinceramente não percebo!!!!&lt;br /&gt;Claro que desde que para lá mudamos aquilo melhorou de nível passou a ser condomínio de luxo e como tal muitos nos seguiram. Assim as  noites passaram a ser de filmes, programas dos “100 best something” na TV e do Stop passamos ao UNO às cartas e ao Trivial. Passeios ao Pick District, passeios ao centro...acho que conheço cada canto da loja P “o maravilhoso mundo” . Depois chegou o João que muita falta me fez, tivemos uma hospede a Pat , que acabou por ser vizinha e amiga. Fomos à Escócia, fomos a Oxford...temos conhecido este país aos poucos.&lt;br /&gt;Pensando bem ainda estou à espera do que esta para vir!!! Agora vou mudar de casa e abandonar o abrigo que me acolheu tanto tempo. As saudades continuam a ser muitas...da família, os amigos que não estão cá e do meu país. Claro que quero regressar a Portugal um dia mas por agora há que aproveitar as oportunidades que vão surgindo. Quero continuar a viajar conhecer este país e a viver, viver muito saboreando todos os momentos junto daqueles que trouxe comigo e dos que aqui conheci e se tornaram também amigos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-1293781889638702076?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/1293781889638702076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=1293781889638702076' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/1293781889638702076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/1293781889638702076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2006/12/manchester_08.html' title='Manchester é...'/><author><name>Pintas</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14481254066578409627</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='15' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1kAIqaSHYVg/S-LzS7CikBI/AAAAAAAAAJs/CEc9C498oQI/S220/pintarolas.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1kAIqaSHYVg/RXmkqGFkmeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/s1L_KCLaXjs/s72-c/DSC00493.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-2748633703234531287</id><published>2006-12-07T02:42:00.000Z</published><updated>2008-12-09T09:33:29.830Z</updated><title type='text'>Jardim dos Sentimentos</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2gJ5Yn1BlZE/RXeAxp364_I/AAAAAAAAABA/fUmz4s2v3Rk/s1600-h/MVC-732F.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5005611101387940850" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2gJ5Yn1BlZE/RXeAxp364_I/AAAAAAAAABA/fUmz4s2v3Rk/s320/MVC-732F.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;No meu Porto existe um Jardim dos Sentimentos e eu hoje sou só SAUDADE...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;P.S.

Sem dúvida que é a maior aventura da minha vida, pelo menos até agora... Não me arrependo, embora muitas vezes me questione se tudo isto vale a pena e muitas vezes nem eu mesmo sei responder. Quando me perguntam se quero continuar cá muito ou pouco tempo, respondo sempre que eu acompanho a maré e sigo os meus instintos do momento. Não tenho por hábito fazer planos para o longo prazo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Manchester deu-me a chance de ter um emprego bem remunerado, alcançar a minha independência financeira , conhecer os novos mundos pelos quais sempre salivei e ter uma oferta de espectáculos musicais finalmente digna de um megalómano. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Em troca, a cidade mancuniana retirou-me a oportunidade de conviver diariamente com as pessoas que mais gosto, abandonar as ruas que sempre percorri, perder de vista a Superliga e um milhão de outras pequenas coisas que nunca iria ser capaz de descrever.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Felizmente posso já afirmar que tenho episódios que sempre irei recordar passados em Manchester, a maioria deles sozinho, mas isso talvez só os torne mais mágicos. Além do mais, sempre gostei de passar tempo comigo mesmo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Penso que o início da aventura aqui equivale ao Big Brother, porque o facto de se sentirmos sós leva a que nos aproximemos muito facilmente das mesmas. Depois com o tempo, passamos a seleccionar naturalmente as pessoas com quem queremos realmente manter ligação.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;A cidade em si, não a considero globalmente bonita, mas tem espaços e pormenores muito interessantes e aprecio a onda de Manchester, onde há sempre algo de interessante a acontecer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;Outros significados de Manchester para mim são: chuva, saudades, pint&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;s, Revolution, Minstrels, Little Britain, 105, Didsbury, Lounge About, MEN Arena, Manchester United, Shans, Ebay, bitoque, 43, Family Guy e muitos outros que ficarão sempre comigo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-8346042951090307409?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/8346042951090307409/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=8346042951090307409' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/8346042951090307409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/8346042951090307409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2006/12/manchester_05.html' title='Manchester é...'/><author><name>Man Next Door</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_dZwQvarzO34/SVD9hbvhKmI/AAAAAAAAAvg/UD2DuWNkNdw/S220/v94xDU136972-02.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-1464775524849667139</id><published>2006-12-04T22:36:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-12-04T23:00:46.076Z</updated><title type='text'>Manchester é...</title><content type='html'>Para mim Manchester é um misto de emoções contraditórias... saudade e realização pessoal, aventura e tristeza, desafio e medo. Há um ano atrás aventurei-me, fiz as malas e arrisquei dar um passo que poderia ser maior que as pernas, mas acho que nos aspectos que mais ansiava e temia me surpreendi e superei até. De casa dos pais, emprego certo (dentro do possível em Portugal), 4 estações, amigos e namorado perto, lancei-me na aventura de me mudar para um país distante, emprego novo (e do qual não percebia bolha), morar com amigos, depois sozinha... Agora Manchester é expoente da minha independência e realização pessoal, mas não posso esquecer que também foi palco de alguns dos piores momentos da minha vida. E que se por um lado confirmei que a distância define prioridades, estreita laços e reforça relações, também descobri que custa muito, mesmo muito... a saudade não mata é certo, mas mói demasiado.&lt;br /&gt;Valerá a pena o esforço?, perguntam os mais curiosos... Sim, sem dúvida, porque entre chuva e frio, Manchester revelou-se acolhedora, compreensiva, motivadora e deu-me o melhor de todos os presentes: amigos verdadeiros.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3890868318707875361-1464775524849667139?l=manchesterconnections.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/feeds/1464775524849667139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3890868318707875361&amp;postID=1464775524849667139' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/1464775524849667139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3890868318707875361/posts/default/1464775524849667139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://manchesterconnections.blogspot.com/2006/12/manchester.html' title='Manchester é...'/><author><name>redordead</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12857795571902132909</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bvsx9Gx2yCQ/TWAuAaPuucI/AAAAAAAACHU/9kagTLaJJcc/s220/MM.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890868318707875361.post-3022959327455154520</id><published>2006-12-02T17:33:00.000Z</published><updated>2006-12-05T00:04:31.430Z</updated><title type='text'>Manchester é...</title><content type='html'>Manchester é uma cidade escura e fria, tipico inglês... mas que se revelou ser bastante acolhedora.&lt;br /&gt;Deu-me oportunidade de ter outra perpectiva da vida, conhecer novos sitios, pessoas.&lt;br /&gt;Algumas tornaram-se bons amigos, curiosamente portugueses, que de outra forma, apesar de estarem no meu país, dificilmente as teria conhecido.&lt;br /&gt;Nem tudo é bom, numa cidade onde está sempre a chover, anoitece às 16h30m no Inverno, os bares fecham às 23h e os pubs ou discos às 2h.... Aqui em Lisboa é um pouco ao contrário, a essa hora estão os bares e discos a abrir... Mas acaba por se ter outro ritmo, e nem é tão mau assim.&lt;br /&gt;E temos sempre a gay village, como não...&lt;br /&gt;E neste cidade tão diferente tive oportunidades que não conseguia em Portugal, trabalhar na area que gostava, mesmo sem ter curso superior.&lt;br /&gt;Vivi muita coisa boa nesta cidade, e alguns momentos muito importante que ficarão para sempre gravados no meu coração.&lt;br /&gt;E a saudade moi muito, mas por vezes também é muito confortante estar longe de alguns problemas que não podemos evitar quando estamos na nossa cidade natal.&lt;br /&gt;Por isso, Manchester "is a great place, with great folks".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
