Trailing
I was watching the news as I was having lunch and very apreensively listened to two reports, one on the level of studies and the other on the "easyness" of starting a business (starting or running) .
In the first one we are the worst country of the ones studied. On average, our students spend 8 years studying, and only 10% finish university. 10%!!!!! Well, I keep hearing friends telling me, well now everybody goes to university so someday we will have educated trashmen.
Point numer one I don't see the problem, I would love to have educated trashmen.
Point number two looks like after all, we don't have that many people in uni.
Point number three I don't even know the numbers when it comes to skill studies, or professionalising studies.... that would be a shock for sure.
Comin to the second study, we are the most bureaucratic, slow, and complicated country when it comes to creating a copany (I can proof this myself), in the EU only France and Italy are behind us.
Once again we are trailing Europe......

Wild animals at a wedding
This past weekend I went "down" to Sintra, we had a wedding party over there. The wedding was in Mafra, in an old hunting are of the king. The atmosphere was fantastic and the surroundings really cool. but what impressed me the most, was that I was so close to Deers and Wild pigs (or warhogs as you may) that I could not believe it, just check the pics.....
I will definitely be coming back
