Strange but, these are all the things I love about Portugal.
You like the low salaries?đđ
Fixed income. Retired. Doing all rightđ
@@Dr3u959 yes it's quite nice for an expat, things are cheap. Though they are getting more expensive
By far better than living in Canada
I think 8 out of these is ridiculous - its one of the best places in the world
Oh please, almost all of these things are great! â€đ”đč Different level of noise sensitivity? Yes, we are ALIVE! Maybe it's the smell of lixĂvia, who knows? đ
Keep doing these videos, I am having a blast! đ
đ Ă© engraçado o gajo...
His German, itâs explained why all those things he doesnât like those things.
Half of these points are just great things, actually.
Of all 10, there are a few that I agree are "not so good":
- Number 1: Sometimes it's really too much and I'm all against food waste. Fortunately, many restaurants have come to the conclusion that the right quantity of food still keeps the customers satisfied and it's more economically and environmentally sustainable.
- Number 2: Unfortunately there are many people, especially in the services' area, that don't care about this and leave the customers waiting for hours or even days. I work in that area but if I arrive 5 minutes late to an appointment with a client it will warrant an apology from me.
- Number 3: I'm portuguese, I drive and it also drives me up the walls (pun not intended) when pedestrians cross the street where there's a crosswalk at walking distance. Not to mention that it's illegal. As for Margarida's opinion, she should be criticising the pedestrians, not the drivers.
- Number 4: I feel the same, even for me sometimes loud people in restaurants or even in the streets (especially at night) are quite the annoyance.
- Number 8: We're (still) a relatively poor country, so yeah.
So zero downsides then
Too much food? You serious?
He is right. The portion Iis huge..even compared to the US đ.
đđđ,nĂŁo quer comer nĂŁo come,ninguĂ©m o obriga.
@@rosalinacastro2309 - Sim, sim, para ficarmos como os americanos gordos ...
It's only a relevant point because Portuguese cuisine is hardly scintillating or world-class. It's often very fatty or oily. It's possibly better than the cuisines of some (especially northern or eastern) European countries, but that's hardly saying anything.
They're loud as hell too? Thats a plus lol
We need serenity
â@@paulocorreia7942thanks for commenting it's really interesting to me. I try be respectful too but sometimes I get loud if I'm passionate about something or in a goofy mood. I wonder if what some people say about how learning a new language gives you a new personality is true so I can stop being so annoying lol
â@@janpierzchala2004ah understood
I think he doesn't mean portuguese talk loud...but everyone talks at same time and it's a mess, we have a lot of diferent conversations at the table in different subjects all at same time and if a person don't dominate totally Portuguese a outsider can't enter the talks that's frustrating because the language is complex
@@madmadeira1 ah I see what you mean! Thanks that's helpful to know
Why Portugal is not perfect!!!!???? You should know : because there is not a single perfect country at all the universe, but what you really needed, was a comment to make your chanel to grow and that is what I'm doing now.
Did people really expect Portugal to be perfect? I lived in 5 European countries, and Portugal was my least favorite. Weird and cold people who pretend to be nice.
He didn't mention their obsession with their past. They did a lot of horrible things, but somehow, they are proud of it. Other imperialist European countries encourage them to be proud of their centuries of slavery and invading other countries.
Oh yeah, they love to blame for their problems. It's the Brazilians, Africans, or Gypsies' fault. Portuguese are perfectly behaved, and they never commit crimes.
Devas estudar histĂłria antes de blasfemar,fimos escravizados por 14 seculos,e sim,tenho muito orgulho em D.Afonso Henriques.
Yes my teddyboy, in comparison with the americans, they almost never have commited crimes ... and have criated great countries... on the contrary of USA, who still destroy countries ?
@@teddydavis2339 "weird and cold people" really? UAU! I guess you were unlucky with the people you met..
@@salomecomedy No, he wasn't 'unlucky' at all. That perfectly explains the Portuguese people. They are the most insincere, unfriendly people I've every experienced, and I've lived in 6 different countries. And that is the experience of many other foreigners who I know live in or have lived in Portugal, especially Brazilians. "Cold and weird" explains the Portuguese to a T!
Teddy, you are my new best friend! "Weird and cold people who pretend to be nice" is EXACTLY how the Portuguese are. Beautifully put. I get so tired of all these expats waxing lyrical about how 'friendly' and 'warm' the Portuguese are. It's all such bullshite because all I know are expats who find the Portuguese closed, insular and near-impossible to befriend.
