On 24th October,2010, the long awaited SAGRES ship from Portugal ,arrived at the Straits of Malacca. I was given the opportunity to go on board. We took a 15 minutes boat ride from the Parameswara Jetty to the ship. We managed to purchase some beers from the ship and were also given some complementary beers. Some of the sailors were friendly but there were some who shy away from us. Probably they were afraid that we were not able to communicate. Anyway, there were cultural performances by our local dance troupe. Overall, I had a great time.24 Outubro,2010, barku di SAGRES ja cega na nos sa praya na Malaca.Nos tudu ja bai kum ungwa perau.

ReplyDeleteHi Sara, I really enjoyed seeing your pictures in SAGRES, our beautiful navy instructing vessel.
My name is Isabel, I´m Portuguese, from Lisbon and I'm visiting Malacca on Saturday, 27th November with a friend.
We would love to meet Portuguese descendents who share our heritage and culture. Could you give us some tips and advice? We would be traveling by bus from Kuala Lumpur early morning and have to be back in the evening.
Obrigado!
Isabel
Ola Isabel,
ReplyDeletePodemos nos encontrar todos no dia 27 no Portuguese Settlement.
Ate breve
Sara adorei as "pinturas"

Hi Sara,
ReplyDeleteGoing to a wedding without being invited is not polite from where I come from… but we would love to mingle with people who share our culture thousands of kilometers away from Portugal. We’ll keep in touch. My e-mail is: isabel.m.parreira@sapo.pt.
