1. Portugal's Alentejo: A corker of a trip

 
 
summary
Herdade das Barradas da Serra lay in Portugal's Alentejo region, at the end of an hour's drive from Lisbon through a sun-sapped landscape of dry earth and olive trees. There are many cork oaks and lots of people own cork oak farm for their job. Also, many cork product store are in Evora the capital of Alentejo. Evora was once Portugal's second city, so there are many cultural remains.

Portugal is famous country in Europe but I didn't know where is good to go if I travel Portugal.  I often used to watch travel TV channel and I saw this religion once but I forget where is here, but with this article I can know certain name of this religion. From this article, Alentejo has lots of nice sight and experience. So, if someone travel Portugal, I will recommend Alenthjo to them.

2. Portugal, here I come! Zip line whizzes passengers from Spain to Portugal in seconds

This article is very interesting because, in Korea, we can't go other country in a few seconds. But with this Zip line we can do that. And it is also funny that we can earn 1 hour just use few second. Zip line is interesting leisure activity but it can be used for transportation too. I imagine that if Korea unify with North Korea, we can use zip line to travel North Korea.

3. If you're in Portugal, this Bud's not for you

Trademark is very important to sell their goods with well known reputation. So, companies want to use their trademark selling at other country. And if there are many similar name beer at supermarket, purchaser can be fell into confusion easily. For example, when I go Lottemart their are too many similar name snack and Ramen in there. I want to buy a ramen which I ate delicious last week, but I can't choose that ramen because of similar name. So, trademark is trademark is important both company and purchaser.

summary
Portugal win preliminary match with Ghana at 2:1 score. Cristiano Ronaldo and John Boye of Portugal make a goal and Asamoah Gyan of Ghana make a goal in this match. But Portugal fail to move through to the Round of 16 at Group G


persuasive
Portugal is powerful favorite team at this World Cup but Portugal fail to go Round of 16. It is tragedy to many soccer fan and I also couldn't accept this result easily. Preliminary match with Ghana, Portugal did their best and won the game, but they lost and drew at last games. It makes Portugal get few point. It is sad that we couldn't see Portugal soccer anymore but we have lots of interesting game yet.
