I would describe your post as long and HORRIFYING personally, Pedro. I don't blame you at all for wanting to leave. I know I would.

I would describe your post as long and HORRIFYING personally, Pedro. I don't blame you at all for wanting to leave. I know I would. we were/are forced to leave...you don't ahve any chances/possibilities of building up a family, having a professional horizon, etc... but it's really frustrating to want to fight/give your best for you country and being forced to leave...abandone it... you fill impotent not being able to do something, help building and changing your country...specially when you're the generation of the "children of the revolution", me and people around my age were born during the revolution, we have a pass, a legacy a task and we should be the workers of a better society, a better/righteous country...but no. during my short time professional activity i always finished my classes saying "whatever you do, whatever your professional field/skills are, always do your best and think about it" too bad i only was able to say this for 5 years... regards

Nothing else you could have done, Pedro. Your family HAS to come first.

Thanks for sharing that Pedro. I truly am amazed, I never even considered Portugal to be one of these countries in so much need.
I always figured they'd have a healthy trading economy going on with France and Spain and maybe Italy. I really am sorry to hear about all that. Perhaps one day it will be better, but I'm not sure how by all that you say.
Where there is a lack of education though, there's usually a lot of disadvantaged people. That's the first thing that has to happen - better education.

I'm with Elliot and Phil, I had no idea things were so bad in Portugal. What you described is a very bad and serious situation. Pedro, I hope one day your dream of returning to your country with the experinece/skill and be able to help make a difference there comes true. Shan

Phil and Shantara Unfornutelly no. From the 12 countrys that entered/formed the european community in the late 80's/90's up until now, Portugal is the one behind almost everyone of them, in almost every aspect...even Greece who was "behind us" when it entered, now... well gang, this is my last posting before closing the house and going to the aerport. Sharky i've got your adress for the postcard have a great summer holidays everyone, take care and see you soon regards, yours truly, Pedro.

oh dear, seems that i have missed saying my goodbyes to pedro. hope he'll be having a good time nevertheless & also to reap some meaning in his home visit.
sad to know what is going in portugal, i have always thought tourism is one of the best thing portugal has to offer, albeit not too well planned. still .... portugal has beauty.
