In the world of the Internet, today we have many ways of sharing what we like. For some good part, we find people with the same interests. The Internet is no doubt a wonderful world when used correctly and in a honored way.

If you drop in any of my Lens, and liked my work, I am happy to provide any of the information that you were looking for. I enjoy writing and sharing things that I really like and show to the world. With so many interests in my life, it is hard for me to focus in just one subject, so here I will share with you some of my interests and my work on Squidoo.

Is Portugal part of the EU or do they still have Escudos? I've always wanted to go to Sao Tome & Principe. Nice to meet you Carlos!

Reply

kar351 Nov 4, 2011 @ 1:40 am | delete

WoW! Easy! :P
São Tomé & Principe they use the "Drobra". Cape Verde or "Cabo Verde" in Portuguese uses the "Escudo Cabo Verdiano", and the origins are from Portugal.
Here we no longer use the Escudo (sadly lol). Most of Europe uses the Euro with a couple exceptions.
If you want to know Africa, like São Tomé, I got to warn you that is a very poor country. You got like a couple Hotels, and they are "nice", but you need a bit of "stomach" ;) Not that is all bad, mind you. It is a tropical weather so prepare yourself to sweat a lot!
I would bet more more on the Islands of Cape Verde, the people are more nicer and the country weather is more "fresh".
But then again, why you do not come to Portugal first? You would be amazed. Check a small video on my Portugal Holidays lens.
Thank you for the visit.
Good luck.

My favorite HeavyMetal Band

Careful with your speakers!

Somewhere In Time

Amazon Price: $6.99 (as of 06/02/2012)

Yes, I am a heavy-metal fan! Now I have more sense and I did cut my hair! Had to do it! Got bald...

This is the album and the band that made me a fan of this kind of music. I loved the cover of the vinyl at the time, suffice to say, I did got all the albums in vinyl... a little fortune today.

This is the MP3 download version. If you like Iron Maiden, I think this is the best one with a great production and quality.

A visit by Angels

A special Thank You!

When a Angel bless any of my Lens, my way of saying thank you is to show them to the world. Angles do not gain anything for giving a blessing, but for the ones who receive it, it means a lot!

This module only appears with actual data when viewed on a live lens. The favorite and lensroll options will appear on a live lens if the viewer is a member of Squidoo and logged in.
