First of all I have to apologize for not posting anything for quite a long time.
This is my last entry in this blog since my Erasmus experience is over :(. It was a lifetime experience that I recommend to whoever has the possibility!
I'll start this post by showing some differences between my life in Portugal and in Delft.
Differences
This is a little bit slushy, but in reality it is a huge difference. You see, I am used to be with my girlfriend everyday and in Delft the closest I could be was using Skype :(.
Other huge difference is the view from my apartment. In Portugal I can see all the city of Espinho, the sea and the sunset on it...
... while in Delft... well... the photo speaks for itself.
About the transports! In Portugal, everyday, I use car for moving around, while in Delft I only use my bicycle! This is interesting! I really don't miss the car!
Last but not least, the freezing clime! Even the channels don't escape the temperature!!!
Arrival Dinner
When I arrived at Delft, I had to make a dinner marking my arrival! So I invited the closest friends and we partied a little bit! It was great to see them again! I missed them a little hehehe!
Last Assignments
My last assignments... what to say?! They went well... I think!!! Some of them where a little bit complicated, others somehow funny to do as the one on the picture. :)
The 3 Birthdays
At 14th of January it was Pablo and Diogo's birthday, and at the 15th it was the time of Michele. So we made one party for all of them!!! It was a nice evening. CAKES and BEER!!! YEY!

Oh no... Exams!
About the exams... I don't know what to say! I had two exams... I had to study a lot for both! One went well, and the other was a disaster!!! Maybe I have to come back to make it again in June or July! (IUPIII... probably this blog will live until that exam!!!).
Woboldo... The last big party :(
The last big party for me in Delft!!! I started to feel nostalgic... some people were already saying that they would miss me (I was happy for that), the camera guy of the parties, the official reporter!!! Here are some photos of that event! (Beware... I appear without making funny faces!!!)
Farewell Dinners
The hardest part of being in Erasmus... saying goodbye to the people we met there! I was in some dinners with that purpose and at the end I was kind of sad!
Dinner at the house of Linda (an American who is married with a Brazilian, Joe. hehehe!).
First goodbye dinner... in my place!
Second one... at Pablo, Michele and Matteo's!
Last time I was with Pavel, my room mate! (Miss you man hahaha!)
Last one... again at my place! :(
Goodbye Delft
The last day I was in Delft! 30th of January was the day! I packed everything and go! :( I was kind of sad... I made some good friends and I don't know when will I see them again.
Brussels
After leaving Delft I went to my brother's at Brussels. Stood there for two days! I saw more things from the city with him...
So... My Erasmus' experience finished at the 1st of February when I came back to Portugal. I really don't know what to say to summarize my life there, I only have to say that if you (who is reading this) have the opportunity to do Erasmus or something similar don't hesitate, probably it will be one of the best all-life experiences!
This is (hopefully, if I have exams in July it is not) my last post about new things that happened in Delft!
See you in another Blog...

Resumo em Português
---------------------------
Bem, desde já peço desculpa por não escrever aqui nada desde o ano passado.
A minha experiência de Erasmus acabou no dia 1 de Fevereiro, dia em que voltei para Portugal. No entanto, foi uma das minhas melhores experiências de vida até agora, e penso que a irei recordar para sempre. Sendo assim, só posso aconselhar, a ti que estás a ler isto, que se tiveres oportunidade, não hesites, é realmente um experência única!!!
Falando agora do meu último mês em Delft, começo por salientar algumas diferenças que existem entre os meus dois mundos, Delft (Holanda) e Espinho(Portugal):
- Não puder estar com a namorada e outras pessoas mais próximas;
- A vista do meu quarto mudou. Em vez de ver o mar passei a ver apartamentos;
- Bicicleta em vez de andar sempre de automóvel;
- E o frio que gela tudo o que tem água (bem mas parece que também nevou em Portugal enquanto estive fora).
- Jantar de boas-vindas a Delft no meu apartamento;
- Estudo para exames. Pelo menos um não foi muito famoso (estou a espera da nota, pode ser que tenha de ir de novo a Delft em Julho ou em Agosto);
- Aniversários do amigos mais próximos, de salientar o do Diogo, do Pablo e do Matteo;
- A última grande festa a que fui, no Woboldo (vejam as fotos em cima);
- E jantares de despedida, que me puseram um pouco triste. Pelo menos foram muitos, deu para dividir a tristeza! ahahaha!
Penso que este será o meu último post aqui neste blog. Sendo assim, fiquem bem e vejo-vos noutros blogs.
