Fado is currently a world wide known symbol of Portugal, being represented for many years in foreign countries by Amália Rodrigues, and more recently by Dulce Pontes, Mariza and Katia Guerreiro, among others. Throughout the world, to the name of Portugal, there were two things immediately referred: the Fado and soccer. Although taking many forms, as it is sung differently in Porto, Coimbra and Lisbon, the Fado is, by self-earned right, the very expression of the Portuguese soul.

The drinks in the back ground:
Beer lovers who come to Portugal are often disappointed by the range of Portuguese beers that are on offer. Essentially, there are just two: Super Bock and Sagres.

It's always exciting to explore a new place such as A Favela I am hoping not to get into too much trouble here. I feel as if I am being scrutinized, but I don't understand why. I am just walking down a public street. I remember being in other places that gave me that same chill. As if I were unwelcome for reasons I could not comprehend. What do you mean by "
Clowntime is Over"? I wasn't clowning, my friend.
In 1980 Elvis Costello and the Attractions released two full-length LPs, Get Happy in February and Taking Liberties in November. A total of 40 tracks, if I recall correctly. This is the alternate take on a song that apeared on both in different versions. Obviously one of my favorites! 🎼

The Loch a'Chairn Bhain hold's a very historic role from WW2.
In 1943, these waters, along with adjoining Loch Glencoul, were used to train the crews of miniature X-craft submarines before going to Norway, where they successfully disabled the German battleship Tirpitz.
A memorial just north of the bridge pays tribute to the 39 crew who died and the local people “who knew so much and talked so little”.

It is used in rituals, dances, and theaters such as Noh and Kabuki to represent the multifaceted nature of the mythological creature, the tengu, which is half human, half bird and often possesses a long red nose and wings.

The construction, started in 1906, was partly built on the old ruins of the mediaeval Royal Court of Moldavia (1434), and partly on top of the foundations of the former neoclassical style palace, dated to the time of Prince Alexandru Moruzi, rebuilt by Prince Mihail Sturdza and demolished in 1904. It was from this latter building that the Palace inherited the legend of the 365 rooms, as many as the days within one year. - Wikipedia
