I emphasised practical ethics, reflecting the influence of Anglo-Saxon philosophers, French philosophy, and especially the work of 18th Century German philosopher, Johann Gottfried Herder. My life motto EUROPEAN FAIRY TALES Victor Hugo. Once upon a time, there was an old continent inhabited by fairies, witches, enchanted trees and all sorts of magical creatures. They lived together in a world of fantasy where heroes are set to be Kings and Princesses to be Queens. With the charm of a spell and the strength of a sword, they brought us once to the lands of ourEUROPEAN CREATURES
European creatures are fascinating. They can make you rich in Ireland, bring you gifts in Italy, warn you of upcoming troubles in Turkey, dig you out of an avalanche in Switzerland, protect your city in Czech Republic, or make roosters crow in Bosnia.EUROPEAN LEGENDS
This legendary Dutch ghost ship is known for not being able to make port and being doomed to sail the oceans forever. If hailed by another ship, its crew will try to send messages to land, or to people long dead. It is believed that anyone who sees the ship will have misfortune fall upon them.EUROPEAN MONSTERS
Beware, this is not an article about kind and harmless European creatures – this is about fierce European monsters! Naughty children across Europe face the same threat of terrifying beings coming out at night to scare, kidnap or even eat them when they are asleep or if they misbehave.Let’s be honest: parents were not lacking of imagination when they dreamt up these frightening beasties. EUROPEAN TOOTH FAIRIES Fada dos dentes. A Portuguese proverb says “Antes dentes que parentes” which basically means “It’s better to lose teeth than relatives”.If no one would honestly disagree with that saying, one could also add that loosing a teeth actually brings you a new relative: the Fada dos dentes.This Portuguese variation of the Tooth Fairy, comes at night with a small payment to replace a lost EUROPEAN SWEAR WORDS Goddammit! We all knew that Europeans swear like troopers but we may have forgotten how creative they can be.

Draw the game’s field on any indoor or outdoor area that allows the participants to play. A volleyball court with any surface is fine. Teams can be of mixed gender. NOMS DE FAMILLE EUROPÉENS Silva. Cela peut sembler un peu cliché mais le nom de famille le plus courant au Portugal est ‘Silva‘ ou ‘Da Silva‘ dérivé du mot latin pour ‘bois’, ‘forêt’, ‘arbuste’ ou ‘plantation’. Cela ne devrait pas surprendre : le Portugal est depuis longtemps un pays riche en forêts, ce qui a influencé sa culture et son folklore.
