Hola a todos!
(That's Spanish for hello everybody)
I was blogged forward by http://scn.sap.com/community/about/blog/2014/08/15/blog-it-forward--pedro-freitas.
I have the opportunity to know Pedro because when I receive messages from his components I have to send
them to him 
and we have spoken through Lync before. I used to work with his colleagues Christian Rosa
and Kelly Ynoue and he was my replacement in SD-BIL and SD-BF-PR (these components have been moved
to Brazil). Thanks for the invitation Pedro

Intro
My name is Enrique Sosa Dominguez. All Hispanic people has two surnames, these are all the hispanic countries:
I am 39 years old and I am from Spain (the Canary Islands) although I now live in Newry (Northern Ireland) with
my wife who is from England. I have an older sister who lives in Germany (Stuttgart) so we are a multinational
family as you can see. I love it when we are reunited for Christmas and you can hear 3 different languages in the
same table (English, Spanish and German).
I came to Dublin in 1997 and I did my certificate in IT as well as my BSC in Computing Science. After finishing my
degree, I worked in many different companies until I joined SAP in May, 2006. Like Pedro, I have moved to different
components, I started in the PLM Team working for the PS Team, after that I moved to SD and I am currently working
in the LE Team.
My Hometown
As I said before, I am from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (The Canary Islands). Even though I am Spanish, I do not
live close to Midland Spain. In fact, if you fly from Madrid (the capital city) to Gran Canaria it will take you 2 hours and
15 mins to arrive there so where are the Canary Islands then? You may ask. Here's the location:
There are 7 islands (Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera, El Hierro, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote). The biggest
island is Tenerife and the smallest is El Hierro. The current population is 2,117,519. We have not one but TWO capital
cities Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Tenerife) and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Gran Canaria). The word islas canarias is
derived from the Latin Term Insula Canaria meaning "Island of the dogs". You can see it in our flag:
Things that we have in common with Brazil
The Canary Islands have a few things that Brazilian people like too:
1) Football: In general Spanish People like football, in fact our league "La Liga" is a well known football League
and famous players used to play there (Zidane, Maradona) and others are currently playing there (Messi and CR7).
Our local team is called UD Las Palmas and they had the chance to play in the first division but we lost in the final:
2) Beach: Like Brazil, we have a lot of beaches but without a doubt the biggest one and the most famous one is
called "Maspalomas". This is one of our main attractions and many tourists love staying there:
3) Carnaval: When someone mentions carnaval, you immediately think Brazil. Brazilian people love their
Carnaval and it is really famous to see the way they celebrate Carnaval over there but they are not the only
ones. When you mention Carnaval in Spain everyone thinks about our Carnaval which is the biggest one in
Spain. Both Capital cities (Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) organise the biggest ones:
So now you know a little bit more about my home place and myself.
