I don´t remember. It is a long time ago. I went on vacations with my friends when we we still were all at the university.
How many and which different countries or cities did you visit?
I will just answer about last year:
Spain - Seville and Cádiz; and, as i also mentioned in another topic, i dedicated last year to explore my own country, Portugal - i visited Porto and Coimbra. You should all visit this cities!
How many books have you read so far in 2017?
I have just now returned from Buenos Aires which is a beautiful city. I should love to visit Portugal and Spain, Lendo. The problem for us on the other side of the Atlantic is that travelling to Europe is very expensive.
None as yet. I have to reread Faust II and some other German plays for an essay, that I´m writing.
How many books do you intend to read this year?
ive only finished one so far, unbroken by laura Hillenbrand (great book) but im partway through 3 others. tom jones by henry fielding (its about 800 pages and very dense), the signers of the declaration (of independence) and Frederick douglass' narrative of the life of Frederick douglass, an American slave.
I might have finished leonard koppett's a thinking fans guide to baseball in 2017 but for sure I started it in 2016, so it doesn't wholly count.
no set amount, but a day very rarely ever goes by when I don't read; so as soon as one book is finished, the next one starts. the amount will be contingent on whether they are easy fascinating reads (like unbroken) or large, difficult ones like tom jones (it seems like all the sentences are a minimum of five lines long!)
how many pages in the book youre presently reading?
From all these books I´ve only read Tom Jones and that a long time ago. What I remember about the book today, is that there is a kind of sumary of content at the beginning of each chapter. I am not a great fan of Fielding but I find his irreverence refreshing in comparison to his contemporaneous peer, the moralist Richardson.
Haven´t started reading jet.
How many egg or slices of bread do you like for breakfast?
oh man danik, youre not reading a book? 50 push-ups for you!
ive got at least one other book by fielding, but given the effort im putting into tom jones, and the many hundreds of other things I have to read, im skeptical i'll be getting to it anytime soon. its a chore, but not a bad one.
two pieces of toast is standard fare, with a big whoppin' cup of tea!
okay danik--time for redemption....how many pages in the book youre presently reading? smiles...
I think one of the reason I´m not reading a specific book is that I have to finish an essay about several plays.
But I´ll have to reread some of the plays, and I promise to post about it.:lol:
How many hours do you usually sleep in the night?
7-8 hours. I wish i could sleep more!
How many concerts did you attend to in 2016?

How many countries in Africa can you name?
A lot of them. I'm Portuguese, we found most of the African continent, and we colonized many modern countries and territories, so in our History lessons we learn very early about many african countries. Portugal was actually the kingdon that initiate the african colonization, in 1415, with the conqueror of Ceuta, in nowadays Morrocco. And Portugal was the last country to leave the african territories: Angola, Mozambique, Guinea, São Tomé e Príncipe and Cape Green.
