Thank you, I'm glad! I also think it's amazing to realize how, despite being so different, we're so alike.

Haha, I couldn't leave them out! Both Brazilian and Mexican soap operas were a very present part of my childhood and early adolescence laugh

Really? Wow! I developed a good part of my reading skills because of those comics, and I still love the characters to this day. It's so cool to find out that you know them too!

All the credit goes to Google Translate in this case haha. Unfortunately, everything I know about Greek is limited to a few letters of the alphabet and terms that gave rise to many words in Portuguese.

This is my favorite version of the song Boa Noite, mentioned in chapter 3: link. If you're interested, some other really good ones by the same singer (my favorite!) that I recommend are Meu Bem-Querer, Eu Te Devoro and Oceano.
