RE: They are the brave ones
As long as I do not incite hatred, there are no problems. I don't want wars, I don't want deaths, you know what I want.
You live in Portugal? I am Portuguese because of my parents. They were immigrants during the wars in their own country. They came to this country and raised their children. Now my son and I have the nationality of my parents. I have never been able to travel and know Madeira, the island of my parents.
Yes, I live in Portugal, close to Lisbon, and I know Madeira. It's a beautiful island. Got some friends there and from there too.
I have some friends from the Island of Madeira that live in Aruba, a Dutch island on the coast of Venezuela. They used to have a radio program out of Aruba Store for portuguese people all around the caribbean on Sunday's in the Afternoon. Maybe you happened to listen to it sometime. I can't really remember the frequency. He used to play portuguese music... But then, that might have been more a thing for your parents, because you probably were raised in full integretion in Venezuelan society. I also have a very good friend who used to own a couple of fruit plantations close to Maracaibo, named Antonio Moreno, but I lost track of him during the Chavez goverment. I hope someday I'll visit him again. It's cool to have your roots in different countries, myself, I also originate in other places, I am a Portuguese that feels European.
I'm curious... Did your parents teach how to speak portuguese? Did you pass it on to your son?
I learned with them, my parents, some things in Portuguese that I don't forget. When I was with my family I understood it perfectly but I don't practice it so I forget it. Reading it also comes easy to me but I can't hold a conversation because I don't master it.
I'm glad you live there, it's a pleasure to meet people from all over the world on this platform.
Yes. That's very good. It's nice to know that you canread portuguese. It's very close to spanish and I think, mutually compreensible in writing. Have an excellent day.
Cheers.
