Portuguese Art in Brussels _ a piece from home

João 28.09.2007

When we are abroad it is always funny to find things from our motherculture.
At the BOTANIQUE metro station, near where I live, everytime I go there I see Portuguese Art. Why? The tile panel in the platform was made by a famous Artist - Julio Pomar - and represents one of greatest Portuguese Poets - Fernando Pessoa.

Last weekend one of my best friends got married. It was hard, but i could not get there and be with all of my friends at the wedding. However, they found a solution and I "was" there all the time, with a big smile and full of energy!
Take a look to some of the pictures my Friends sent me:

The table where I "had" dinner.

All of my Friends wanted to take a picture with me.
