My name is Francisco, like San Francisco

My name is Francisco, like San Francisco

Fui para França como o meu nome Francisco Miguel Condeço Caetano de Sousa.
Como sou filho de Francisco Carreira Caetano de Sousa, no BI sai trapalhada.


1º Passo banco:

Registro no banco
Registraram-me: M F Condeso Caetano Sousa.
Imagina eu querer tirar dinheiro na conta e não puder... ir ao banco e dizer que não tenho conta... tive que esperar pela dita carta que dizia o meu numero e saldo do mes.


2º passo conhecer as empresas:

E-mails de resposta,

"Hey Francesco, I am the gl...."
"Mr. Souza, how are you?"
"DeSouza, in fact...."

Entao ha uma empresa, que nao digo qual é, registraram-me todas, tipo TODAS visitas diferentemente.
Até já colecciono cartões:
- Francisco Carrera, AIESE
- Francisco Souza, EASIEC
- Francezco Souza, EASIEC
- Desouza, ASIEC
etc...
Um cartão um orgulho que sou diferente e fazendo parte de organizacoes lindas, tipo ASIEC...


3º passo, registrar-me em França

Depois de ter o registo feito, recebi uma carta assim: "Monsieur Carreira, ....." o que é que saiu?
Tinha o nome do meu pai lá.
Ou seja, o meu pai pode votar em França, mas tem é a minha cara...
La tive de retirar o registo pois nem sei porque é que fiz aquilo...


4º passo ida a reuniões

Fui a uma reunião com direito a nome em frente a minha mesa, o que dizia lá?
Francesco Souza, claro...


5º passo - socializar-me ida ao starbucks

Cada vez que vou ao starbucks tenho k dar o meu nome para registrarem no copo a saida, pois como é tanta gente depois pedem pelo nome.
Tenho 3 copos no quarto com nomes Francesco, François (so faltava esse) e Francisquo (tipo o rapaz era assim po asiático, perdoa-se).


6º passo - Conferencias AIESEC

Tenho envelopes com nomes como
Francesco mais uma vez, Frankcisco tal como frankenstein, Francois (mais uma vez viva a adaptacao dos franceses ao estrangeiro), etc...
Badges entao nem se fala...

Epa, já nao recordo de muitos mais, quem quiser tenho copos e cartões para troca.

Agora digo: my name is Francisco, like San Francisco

One day I met the happiness

One day I met my LC again...
I was in invited to be Chair of RMT 2007 - AIESEC Lisboa ISEG

One day I saw a different country...
I was again in Portugal for 3 days, but excellent days. Where the quality of life made me feel to turn back.

One day I feel as a parisiens foreigner in Portugal...
I saw different Lisbon. A city very quite where people as chilling after the work.
Where the traffic is a few 30 minutes to get inside the city.
Where the people gives you a smile where you talking.

One day I met interessting people that wants to discover and develop their own potential...
One day I saw smiles.
One day I said hi to the happiness...
Thanks for all

One day in Versailles

Last sunday, I went to Versailles.

Finally, after some months in Paris I saw this special garden.

One more time, I got some lines between american and brazilian tourists. But this time was special, because I had a american and brazilian friend in the group. I went with Vyara (my girlfriend), Hugo (Brazilian intern from Alcatel-lucent), Anna (Swedish Erasmus student) and Jerry (American student from Sacramento California).

The weather were nice, no rain!! :) But somehow was cold. The garden is huge and has a nice lake to take a little boat trip. The restaurant prices are ok, its not not so expensive. Plate for 12 euros + 4.50 coke....

I have a estory for today:

The King Louis XIV spent almost all french capital in this building to put there the aristocracy (living in the palace with him). With this strategy the King has not anymore conflits between him and the aristocracy. In the same time, other kingdoms had a lot of conflits with aristocracy and some of them had wars or even were killed.

So, Louis lived his life in good atmosphere with own "enemies" transforming them as a friends. Versailles had this magic transformation in the people who lived there. My parents said that is a paradise, I just call smart constructrion.

If you want to go to Paris, you really have choose to go Versailles.

Thanks
