          Statistics Portugal has important contributions on the way I will draw for the rest of my life when I
        
        
          consider my colleagues, friends and my professional inclinations. My traineeship period became
        
        
          unforgettable and easier with my colleagues' willingness on being helpful on every little detail and
        
        
          pleasant at the same time at Statistics Portugal's Geoinformation Unit, all of which can also be easily put
        
        
          forward for all Portuguese people. With the adequacy of opportunities provided for me, I have never
        
        
          come across with a problem like losing valuable time. On the other hand, via this traineeship, I found the
        
        
          opportunity to expand my scope with the help of my colleagues who were so enthusiastic to share their
        
        
          information about their specialization which was geographical information systems. By this way, now I
        
        
          can see the competence in me to open different doors. I believe I have somehow paid back their
        
        
          endeavors by the studies I have accomplished at Statistics Portugal. For these reasons, I am so indebted
        
        
          and thankful tomy colleagues.
        
        
          There are of course other benefits of being in Lisbon. Its historical background, castles, palaces, tranquil
        
        
          streets and nature are other grandeurs which made this traineeship unique. While I was developing
        
        
          myself professionally, I lived completely in another world without feeling like a stranger which is
        
        
          completely particular for Portugal. Even if I stayed in Lisbon for a very short time like 3,5months, sure I will
        
        
          come back here sometime just because I missed the tranquilitywhich is hanging on the air.
