A trip in Easter and Valentine's day by chat

.
On April, 29 I had my first conversation with our polish friends: teacher Milena, Patrycja J. and Patrycja K. (students).

First of all we talked about ourselves: who we were, what we were doing at that moment and some other personal issues. After that, we talked about Easter traditions in our countries. I said that in Portugal we usually eat chocolate eggs and small animals (we all agree that this is a cruel tradition). Our polish friends said that they go to church and they take some food with them during this period.

Then we talked about Valentine's Day traditions. In both countries this is a day dedicated to people who are in love, not only for their boyfriends/girlfriends but also for their friends, parents...we can show our love through many different ways! Related with the topic of love, we talked about marriage «habits» in our countries. For example, in Portugal people from the same sex can get married but they cannot adopt children. However, homosexuals aren't allowed to marry in Poland. We spoke about the influence of these rules to societies.

Then, teacher Jorge Rocha, from Portugal, joined the conversation and we talked about the visit to the mountain that our friends were going to do.We had a small conversation because me, Patrycja J. and Patrycja K. had tests in the following day, but I really loved to be in the chat with them, they are incredible and very nice people!

Now I hope to talk with all our friends, from other countries too, to discuss new ideas and go on with this Trip =)
