I am looking forward to being on Twitter as I continue to write about the Luso-Canadian experience within the Portuguese diaspora. Please visit me at https://t.co/dOeEBzv9tv.

@Brain_Chain Now that’s a photo of you I’d want to see! 🤩😂

@Brain_Chain Well, if you can’t be a ‘high net worth’ client, then having a sister is France will have to do! I hope you asked him with a French accent! 😂

@Brain_Chain I don’t think I’ve ever seen this beautiful clock, Kate. Thanks to your persuasive charming of the security guard, we call all see it now! 😁 👍

@greenskeptic @Beverley_A_Dog You both deserved to be rescued!

@GaoCho How lucky of you to return to Portugal! Enjoy your time there and do say olá to Lisbon from me!

Amália in Toronto. I can still hear her singing Fado from the time I saw her perform at Roy Thomson Hall in 1989! https://t.co/BjBW0BrJ3O

@Antonio71323805 Bravo! A challenge at any age! I guess it makes it easier when walking through beautiful scenery! Well done, Antonio. Parabéns!

[Emanuel Melo @torzorean]

@carolinestreet In a world where everything is possible, I would love to take you there, Caroline, and show you around Little Portugal! 😊

[Emanuel Melo @torzorean]

Whenever I feel saudade for Portugal I visit Saudade in Toronto!

@palmeidamaia Tive a grande honra de conhecer o Norberto Ávila no 26 colóquio da Lusofonia que decorreu em S. Miguel em 2016 e de colaborar com Katharine Baker na tradução dos seus “11 poemas açoriano” em Percurso de Poeta. Como dizes, era mesmo um gentleman das Letras que devemos celebrar.

@Antonio71323805 Nos anos 80 havia uma grande comunidade portuguesa concentrada na área de Toronto que chamamos Little Portugal. Mas agora está mais pequena devido a muitos portugueses que se mudaram para outras localidades fora da cidade nos últimos anos. Mas ainda vale a pena visitar!

[Emanuel Melo @torzorean]

@nvcouto611 If you are ever in Toronto, Nancy, you should make a point of dropping by Saudade when visiting Little Portugal. You might even see me there! 😁

[Emanuel Melo @torzorean]

@greenskeptic @whalingmuseum I need to get myself an Instagram account! 👍😁

@martin_roskruge I like to go back every couple of years. I use my blog to express both my memories of the Azores and my life in Toronto:  https://t.co/iAMbTOUpnE

Cornwall is a beautiful place, too. I was there in 2019 on the way to Wales and loved it. You’re lucky to live there!

[Emanuel Melo @torzorean]

@martin_roskruge Thank you, Martin, for your kind words and for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed my article. I am looking forward to my next visit to the Azores (just don’t know when). It’s always a kind of homecoming even though Toronto has been my home for most of my life.

[Emanuel Melo @torzorean]

@Brain_Chain These are beautiful! Still waiting for mine to fully bloom, Kate. Any day now! 👍😁
