1. The why

Hello world.

This "blog" is going to detail my adventures and experiences ever since moving from polite, calm and civilized Canada to the haven of corruption, tyranny and despair that is Portugal.

I hope to regularly update this space with stories of how and why I moved to Portugal, and everything that has happened in the meantime.

Though I know this is of very little interest to anyone but me (that is, unless they are also thinking of moving to Portugal in order to study law… though that is not as common as I have though) it will help me help me keep my English skills sharp. It has been a while since I have written in English for any meaningful length of time.

And of course blogs are hip, Web 2.0, etc., etc.

On a lighter note, I heartily recommend this site.. to the three people in the world with Internet access who have yet to visit it:
