very good (muito bom - portuguese language Brasil)
eu gostei muito de seus comentários sobre a Polônia, pois minha viagem para lá foi inesquecível também. A sensação que eu senti foi muito parecida com os comentarios feitos por você. Conte-me mais sobre isso! Now in English: I really liked what you wrote about Poland, because my trip there was unforgetable too. The sensation I felt was very similar to what you mentioned. Tell me more about this! My email: marisexb@hotmail.com Best wishes and good luck! Marise
