Erasmus foreigners weekly

You are more than welcome. "Erasmus foreigners weekly" is a permanent session of our fanzine. This session is dedicated to help and motivate the outsiders: Portugal needs a lot of cultural diversity.
It is not hard to notice that the foreign students are not very well integrated and they normaly stay together in what seems to be social isolation, they stay in groups under the sun, in the school garden, like bored lions in a zoo.
The portuguese people are quite shy and reserved, even for similar european standards, so it is not really easy to make friends. Normally it requires two years to make one friend in Portugal, so if you are planning to have 4 portuguese friends, you would need to stay here for 8 years. In my case, I have been here for almost 3 years, so I have one and a half friend.
Dear foreign studens, do your part, enjoy Porto, occupy your space here.
