For seven months we have participated in a world wide system of
communication, the Epal project. Our class spent this time speaking
to people from Portugal. We compared and shared stories of our
lives in the different countries. There were many similarities
between the countries, but there were also many customs that were
different. Life for a teenager isnt to different no matter where
you live, but few realize that.

us
