Interviewing Immigrants in Martim Moniz

On Wednesday (17th November) Jorge and I went to Martim Moniz to interview some immigrants that work there and I know.

When we got there, I tried to take some photos but it was almost impossible, because it's a place where people are very conservative and sometimes if we do things they don't like they begin to shout at us and humiliate too. By that time Jorge started (or tried to start) the interviews, but he was a bit "nervous" because he didn't know the person and didn't know what reaction my friend would have, so he kind of lowered his pace (also because my friend was looking at him suspiciously), in order to wait for me. Once I got there, my friend understood what was going on and started like joking and being friendly to Jorge, and so was Jorge.

Our field work went well, I can say, as we could make the two interviews we wanted and had planned for this day, the only thing we were not able to do was taking the photos, and those we could take were too blurred to show...

It has been years since they left and now they are coming back. I can't believe what my eyes are seeing! Firstly most of the people who went are alive and seem to be healthy. Secondly they have so many new thing, specially animals I have never seen and well, they are so fascinating, I had never dreamt of something like that.
I can see at least four animals that are new to me. I will describe the one that for me is the most beautiful, which is the lion. It's like a very big dog whose hair is brown. It has a very big crown around the face, but only some of them. And finally its teeth are the most frightening I've never seen, probably one bite and the person dies, but still its beauty is incomparable. The other ones are the elephant, hippo and the rhino, all of them very beautiful too.
Apart from the animals I am very happy that most of the men who went are back, because their families were so worried. I can't express how glad I am for seeing my father after a long time.
