In his home in Portugal, his collection of Chinese porcelain can be found everywhere, as well as an exquisite 19th century Chinese traditional folding screen and various kinds of brushes. “I traveled as much as I could when I was in China,” said Soares. He showed us a few photos of his unforgettable experience camping in the desert. Soares said the most impressive thing about China is the speed of change. From his first visit in 1985 to his official ambassadorship in 2010, he was surprised by the transformation he witnessed, “superhighways, ultramodern transportation, hundreds of airports… Everything has changed completely.”

Portugal is a southern European country on the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean has influenced many aspects of its culture: salt cod and grilled sardines are national dishes, the Algarve’s beaches are a major destination and much of the nation’s architecture dates to the 1500s–1800s, when Portugal had a powerful maritime empire.
