Ok, so as promised I will put here some of the pictures I took! Just a few of them now, later I will put more The Duna Arena Half hour before the beginning, the poll was packed with swimmers training Sun Yang winning easily Later I will put some more! (Sorry for the bad quality, but pictures were taken with phone. I wish I had the $$$$$$ cameras that the chineses had, they were taking amazing pictures!)

I went to the arena Sunday and today (monday), evening sessions, it was quite crowded, mostly Hungarians (special for today, probably because mid Hosszu). Great experience!

Hey everyone! I went to the champs on this past two days and it was AWESOME i am am a big fan of Ledecky and Hosszu so it was great to be able to see them live and winning gold! here is some few pictures of it (but I can show you more when I return to Netherlands) Edit: apparently I can't upload/copy my pictures from my phone to here so I have to wait till I am back to share my pictures from the event!

Congrats to Chile for the win! Amazing Bravo yesterday, not quite a good match, a bit boring, but that's usually portugal style when playing on elimination matches. it worked with the Euro, it didn't work this time now thw 3rd place match is completely irrelevant, so the (real) tournament is over for Portugal. Good luck to Chile!

As far as I know, those are fake news

They are getting a lot of help, more than 2800 firemen are fighting the fires, our army and navy is helping as well. Anyway, if you can understand portuguese (or use google translate) you can read a bit of this to understand how bad it was for those who got surrounded by the fire: Incendio em Portugal

All the stories around it were horrible..... A work colleague of my parents just runned away from his home, surrounded by fire, on Saturday. On one car he took his parents, on the other his wife took their two daughters, of 12 and 15. The man managed to cross that deadly road, his wife and daughters didn't, and died burned on their cars. So many stories like this one of people running away and getting caught on that road...... Really really sad..... And the worst is that it's not over yet...

Those are the newspapers cover pages of today. Very sad...

Saturday night a big fire started on centre of Portugal, near the rural areas of my country. As fire started to get closer to the villages, people went for their cars and tried to run away. As they were driving away, they were caught by the fire and died, either burn in their own cars, or close to the cars as they tried to run from the fire. All of them of the same road. 61 have been known to be killed so far, including children and entire families. It is one of the worst fire tragedy ever remembered, and it's not over yet...

Once again, a draw. How funny it would be if Portugal could get again qualification to the semi final with only draws? Hahaha

This was Lisbon's Airport today, when Salvador arrived. Unbelievable!!!!

Here you can see Portuguese reception of salvador, at the airport. Amazing!!!! Salvador airport reception

Amazing!!!!!! Never thought I would be alive to see something like this!!!! PORTUGAL!!!!!!!

After all of the songs, I could bet that the winner is going to be Bulgaria this year. not my favorite, but I think it's the one that will get more votes.

Not sure about winning (Portugal don't have a lot of neighbor countries from which we can get safe votes, like what happens to other countries), but I really would like it to be the best classification ever, which would be ending better than 6o place!

Dont resist the temptation.... Join the Dark Side....

You know what really surprised me? That, among all the weirdness of our portuguese singer, he still managed to be one of the most normal singers compared with most of the competition

Jamala : "Thank you to all my fans!!!" [akward silence.....]

My top (excluding my own nation): - Finland - Iceland - Slovenia That's it, I found all the other ones terrible, really painfull to watch, sorry for the nations involved

In fact, I think people only started to support him after finding out he has a heart condition that almost made him give up from going to kiev, forbidden by his doctor. Now, it seems (for what I see on social network, since I no longer live in Portugal ) that all the nation, which usually dont care at all about the contest, is watching and supporting him!

Yap, the guy is weird. So weird that everyone initially didnt like the song actualy. I like it, but I dont think this is a Eurovision song, that is why i dont understand the favourite thing.

Definitely not Although, with so many horrible songs, I would not be surprised if qualifies for the final hahaha

He has heart problems, we werent even sure if he would be allowed by his doctor to participate on the contest......

Sorry everyone but this last weeks have been terrible busy with work. I just finished reading throught all the contest posts, and I am really happy that Portuguese song ended up in such a high place! 8th is great, but more than that it means that there were a lot of you who liked the song, and I am happy to be able to show you the good music from my own nation. Also, I congratulare the winners for their song, but also for the awesome second place! Although I didnt enjoy their song at all and that i didnt gave it any points, it would be great to see our "povo irmão" winning the contest Great organization and great contest, and I dont know the exact historical statistics, but I think the greatest contest ever for Portugal!
