Portugal! When I’m choosing a country for my Master studies, my priority is for Safety. So, I thought Portugal is the best place for me, but after I came over here, I understand Portugal is the sweetest people’s country. Personally, I would share one of my experience in Portugal. I don’t have so many friends here, but I have few, they are very close to me, so caring and so sweet as well. Myself, I have a fear psychosis problem when I saw sea. Once we friends are planned a trip to Nazare beach, everyone get excited, when they saw sea, but I afraid to engage with them. They are enjoying the sea waves and whatever else.at that time I just move back & trying to cover my fear on my face. I thought I don’t have to spoil my friend’s happiness, so I move back my footsteps. I felt alone, I feel very bad, but my friends are watching me, what I’m doing, my facial expression etc. Suddenly they all are came, sit behind me, and told me “come”, I said “no”. but they hold my hand and forcefully get me in to waves, I just started to cry, they told me please close your eyes and take a deep breath, suddenly I closed my eyes, that time I hear my heartbeats and I take a deep breath, and opened my eyes, I wonder I one big wave coming very close to me. I prayed oh god! And I close my eyes. The waves are dripping on me, my breath could stop for a minute, but at that time my friend hug me, I feel it’s a safest hug, that I felt for me after my dad.  Then she told me, “we all are here for you to hold your hand when you have a problem, to care you, to love you.so, don’t worry, enjoy your life as it comes.”. she pours her care to me. From that day I get a confidence, a positive energy to face the problems, and I enjoying my life in every situation. Thanks dear! I really mean that Portugal is the country of Sweetest people. I wish to conclude my experience with this sentence, when life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, that’s when life gives you a chance to be brave.
