Goodbye to you, I am leaving today

This one will be in English for obvious reasons.

So, my lovely erasmus international friends, before 5 months I had my first post in this blog talking about the things that I am going to miss for 5 months.
And now I have my last post talking about the things that I am going to miss forever.

I suppose that my english are not good enough to describe my feelings for this city and for the people that made these months so special for me.
I'm going home now and I am so sure that everytime that I will be watching anywhere something about Lisbon their faces will be in front of me,smiling.
The faces of Paco da Rainha, of Bernardim Ribeiro, of Bairro Alto, of Cais de Sodre. It's unbelievable that the image that I have from each of you in my mind is an image with a smile, I just remember us smiling, having fun.
But it wasn't just about having fun.
It was about love, we really cared about each other.

Sometimes I am thinking that I made a wrong decision about my university because it is really not what I want to do in this life and these erasmus days gave me a reason to love it and try for it.

There are so many things that I will be missing.

Lovely Lisbon with your colours, colours in your houses, in your trams, in your streets, in your people.I will never forget how nice you are mainly in June!
Lovely Paco da Rainha with your difficult name, your adorable Yellow Apartments, with the Pingo-Doce next to you. Oh Pingo Doce I will also miss you and your Mozzarela de Bufala pizza!
Lovely Bairro Alto that I was always double happy that I "climbed" to you! Erasmus corner with your Kalaznikof shots...
But mainly...
Lovely people that we shared the above things, lovely friends that we had so much fun together, lovely family that you never made me feel alone even so far from home.
It's you that I will miss most.

My father says I am brave that I came in another country knowing nobody and not having any problems here.
But the fact is that I am just lucky! Lucky that I had people next to me that never made me feel alone, never made me feel bad. Even for the bad moments that I had here I remember a hug after it, erasing every bad feeling. Thank you with all my heart. Muito obrigada!

I wish in all of you good life, happy life. Full of moments like the ones we had here.

And in any moment of bad mood just remember...we were so lucky once for having this experience so we are lucky generally, everything will be fine!
I am really looking forward to meeting you again.

From the Greek girl with love...
P.S. A bit more love to the ones that are here to give us the last goodbye   <3
