Canada vs Portugal - Rugby! (and social networks) Posted by Gabriel on 10:07 pm

I’ve recently heard of a new site called “Facebook”. A bit of a crazy name, but what can you do? Anyways, supposedly this site is the next big thing. Therefore, in an effort to show my “techno-hipness”, I’ve created a Facebook page for Canadians in Portugal. You can see the fancy widget thingie to the left.

What does this have to do with Rugby, you may as?

The Canadian National Men’s Rugby team is coming to Portugal on the 27th November (Saturday) to play against the Portuguese National Rugby team at the Estádio Universitário in Lisbon, at 15h00!

João thought that we should take advantage of these new techno-fads in order to pass the message on. So that's what we've done, and the upcoming rugby match was the first post! Feel free to show up and support your country(ies)!

Here’s the Portuguese Rugby Federation website: http://www.rugbyportugal.com/
And the Canadian Rugby Federation website: http://www.rugbycanada.ca/

This event is supported by the Canadian Embassy in Portugal, so a round of applause for them as well! And hope to see you there!

Yes ... you too could be on TV! Posted by João on 6:11 pm

We recently received an e-mail from the folks at Leopard Films, the people behind the worldly renown TV show House Hunters International www.hgtv.com/house-hunters-international/show/index.html (shown in over 40 country - but apparently not in Portugal), asking if we knew of any Canadian, American, British, etc. expats who had recently bought a home in Portugal and are living here on a full-time basis that they could profile on their show. Our answer was no ... we don't anyone who fits the bill, however we thought it would be nice to help out the folks at Leopard films and spread the word on their search.

So if the above description is you or someone you know, you can reach Soraya Spiers at Leopard Films (soraya.spiers@leopardfilms.com) and she'll provide you with all the information you need.

The show does provide a handsome payment for those who participate.

Who knows, maybe the bright lights of television await you.
