Alqaidan! Why???


Well, at first glance it looks that I am supporter of a certain terrorist organization, don't be fooled... or disappointed if that's the case.

Alqaidan is the best translation (from Portuguese) I came up with for the place where I live - Alqueidão. In the Portuguese language there are a lot of "special characters" which can't be used as a www address, like: é á ó à í ç ã õ... and the meaning can be totally different if you don't used them, for example: "força" means strenght or force but "forca" means gallows.

Some Portuguese sites use special characters, like www.forçaaérea.pt, which is the oficial site of the Portuguese Air Force, not Portuguese Air Gallow...
