A Little Bit of Graça, Lisbon

I love this part of Lisbon, and really felt inspired by it lately. I’m regularly seeing artists spend hours working on these pieces. Graca has some pieces that I see tourists stopping and there are some famous pieces here, along with some beautiful murals lining dead end streets that nobody seems to walk through.
I just put together some shots that I really love the look of. I hope you like them too. Thanks for watching.

Hey Simon!! I'm happy for your new awakening on life, but I LOVE this type of content over your book club..... sorry not sorry.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Lol. That’s very fair. I’m glad you like this content at least 😆

[@ameerh3115]

@@eatyourkimchi I do, keep it up and I hope you're happy.

[@milly1700]

I agree, i like this more natural content better than the book club.

I think this is it you found your self bro it is amazing, I want to see more 😍

[@ijk1]

I rewatched it multiple times thats how good it is

[@eatyourkimchi]

Well, this was wonderful to read. Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. I feel inspired to make more like it 😊

Simon, thanks for the video. I am a long time fan and I can say I feel this video is one that really reaonates with the base this channel created. I am really glad to see it. I never had anything against you, just some of the new content was not for me compared to the old. This was great though and I appreciate it.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Well, thank you for saying that kindly :D

Dude! You’re looking healthy and happy. Glad to see it ❤️

[@liafal]

What a beautiful city! Thank you for sharing.

[@revinaque1342]

I loved this video! Maybe you could make a video showing a typical Portuguese meal? Like separate videos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Just an idea, no pressure. I'd really love to learn more about Portugal 😊 Also, Fudgy is the BEST boi! He's so well-behaved! 🐶

[@eatyourkimchi]

I'm thinking about the different foods I'd like to share. I'm glad you're interested :D

[@melmcmahan6826]

Goodness, Simon... your cinematography is stunning! I wish this video was a feature film! Beautiful!

[@fleurpouvoir]

beautifully shot!!! great work, simon.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you! I just got a new camera and drone and I'm still trying to figure them out, but I really like how some of these shots turned out, and I appreciate the encouragement!

[@fleurpouvoir]

@@eatyourkimchi it looks really good, it has a cinematic feel and the only way is up; excited to see what you make in the future! xx

Simon if you ever come back to Portugal, please visit Gêres, I think you will fall in love with how beautiful it is!! :D

[@thefoodworshipper320]

That was a cool video! 👍

[@CatalinaCNV]

When i started to watch this video i thought, oh cool shot with your head out at the beginning of the video, then, oh cool shot entering the elevator, oh lovely shots with the doggie, then, oh this is lovely with the coffee and the whole ambiance.... In short, my gosh Simon you are a great film maker, Loved quite a lot this video. Keep it up! This content is so calming yet energetic!

[@eatyourkimchi]

I’m glad you liked the shots, and that you felt the vibe I was going for. Thank you! I really liked putting this together, and hope to do more like these in the future 😊

[@stephen129]

Lisbon is one of my favourite European cities. I need to go back.

[@sadmimikyu8807]

Oh wow now that was a cool video! It is very interesting to me as I have never seen what Portugal is like. I was excited to see we would go for a walk. Fudgy really likes that ball. Good boy! The art along the way is so cool and modern. But the last shot was my favourite when the sea came into view. It really opened my heart. Lovely church as well in the background. (I like looking at churches) Thank you for posting! That was really refreshing. Like a mini holiday.

[@C.Kimiko.S]

At the end, that is actually Tagus River (Rio Tejo), not the sea 😝

[@dizzyandbusy]

I adore Lisbon

[@I_am_Lauren]

This is where your artistic talents TRULY excel!

[@aprilshowers8653]

Can you do a video on Portuguese saudade?

[@eatyourkimchi]

You know, I had a talk with a Portuguese friend here once about her experience of melancholy. I tried to see how she felt it, and to see how that aligns with my understanding. For her, melancholy wavered between positive and negative, which for me was surprising, because I knoll viewed melancholy as a negative feeling. I think that maps on to the idea of Saudade, and maybe she was talking about that instead? Emotions are a weird thing, because they're culturally taught to us, rather than naturally within us, and if we didn't grow up with the culture, it'll be hard to really feel those emotions. I don't know how I'd be able to do a video on Saudade, as it's not something I can feel as deeply as others, you know? But I do like the art that saudade inspires, and maybe I can run with that. I dunno. Thanks for the thought provoking comment ❤️

[@2sssac]

Loved the vid, I were a fan of you two but fall over with time because I also had some bumps on the way with relationship, didnt knew about the situation, I hope for the best for you two, and also hope you feel better with time accept yourself, make piece try not to be regretful and move on with your life. Also didnt know you were here in Portugal, I dont like Lisboa so much😅(regional Wars👺) but it has much to see and good things too

[@RuthlessTragedy]

I think this has to be the most respected video Simon has released since the divorce! I've always been a fan of BOTH MARTINA AND SIMON. I do not live their lives or know them IRL so i do not want to criticize their life. The shots from this video is top-quality! i think you understand, Simon, that the fans want more of this. excellent cinematography with you just living life.

[@skyhighnikk]

Its the quality for me! Good job filming Simon. What camera are you using?

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you! I’m using the Sony Zv-E1 😊 It just came out and offers a lot more dynamic range, and it’s very small and portable. I love it!

[@gingerblue2265]

Well done video.... love the angles, shots and editing.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Please take your own water for the dog, the Sylvia in communal water bowls can be infested with parasites. Speaking about our own bad experience. ❤

This was a great video! Keep it up Simon. Best of luck.

[@Sight4SoreEyes039]

I like the direction you're going with this video. Quiet travel vlogs of quaint little places with Fudgy.

[@eatyourkimchi]

I'm glad you like it as well. I wasn't sure if I should do any talking, and I felt resistance to it. Can I show rather than tell? I'm so used to shouting on camera, and I wonder if there's another way to inspire...

[@CanadianExpat]

You have the most patient dog in the world. With all of those cuts, he must have been super anxious to get going. Love this!!

[@eatyourkimchi]

He really is very well behaved. I was worried he'd be frustrated getting in and out of the elevator so often, because it's so close to outside (and he fucking loves the outside), yet he was able to go with the flow quite patiently.

[@reginaluv82]

Simon!!! I’m so happy to see you back in your element!! I missed you!!

[@hourakenmg9627]

Great video thank you !!!

[@PandaJungle]

Why portugal though?

[@eatyourkimchi]

Really, my reasoning is kinda embarrassing: I didn't want to be in Canada anymore. I'm not my best in the cold. So, I looked for the warmest countries in Europe, and Portugal was on that list. Then I looked up Meetup events to see how many were hosted in English, because I wanted to go to a place where I could connect with people more easily. And that, basically, is how I made my choice :D

[@nfvjgrofgjvoldlkgvlo]

relatively easy to immigrate to, warm.
