Have you ever experienced culture shock? What happened? (🚨 BTW for those in Porto, we're going to be at Cafe Passaporte this Wednesday (April 17th) at noon to celebrate this interview with Emily and have a bagel or so. 😁 If you'd like to come and say hi to us or Emily, that would be great. - Josh & Kalie)

Culture shock and getting homesick is rough. Emily is right about getting involved in your community in order to feel more comfortable. Love the video/sound production. Great topic to touch on. When I relocate I will be coming alone so I will be looking for Americans that have been there awhile and can give me encouragement.

Thanks for watching, Regina, and thanks for the feedback on the video/sound production. We had a few issues with this one on the production side but we're glad it didn't disturb your viewing experience. We were filming with HUGE glass windows the back of the camera and when the sun rose above the buildings across the street, the light poured in to the space and started to blow the image out for the last 1/3 of the interview. We didn't see it's effects until we got the footage into post. :-( When you get here, if you're in Porto, you've got a community that will encourage you. :-) - Josh & Kalie

​@@samuelsimoes8575Still, if you're gonna move somewhere in a permanent or even temporary capacity you should know what they have there available that will impact your life... Food being a primary one. I mean, I love my country and live abroad but along with the weather, and the relatively quiet pace of life, food has to be one of the major things someone would move to Portugal. You should not be "Shocked" that they have their own food I mean that just sounds dumb

The thing that makes the biggest difference that I see expats disregard is learning the language. As soon as you speak the language of the place you live in, your perspective changes and the perception that people have from you being a foreigner living in their country also changes. You become one of them.

I will never get over people who relocate here without ever visiting the country. It is really a leap of faith whereas my wife have lived in many countries and were comfortable in making a country change. Our first visit to Porto it was raining and cold but we loved it just the same. So we came to Porto with our eyes wide open about the cold and rainy weather. We wanted a city that was walkable. I commend the courage of this young lady.

Thank you for the insightful interview and your wonderful channel. I am coming up on two years in Portugal at the end of this month and I also moved here sight unseen. Having lived abroad before, culture shock is something I experienced every time I traveled back and forth. Since moving to Portugal, I have not returned to the US. This has helped me adapt the mindset that I am here to stay. Still, moving abroad is a major life change and for me, it has also been a big adjustment on many levels.

Well, I lived 6 years in the US with a perspective of being my permanent home and I can also tell it wasn't easy. Weather was way different - too cold during Winter, too hot during Summer; celebrations and holidays were different, scale was different - even in food; there were a few foods I was familiar with, but tasted different in the US (sugar is substituted by corn fructose); beer was way more expensive; cars had automatic shift; people only spoke English; social interactions were way different, etc... Still, there's good people everywhere and despite the differences I made a lot of friends, who I had to leave behind when I got back... but they still live inside me and thankfully to modern technologies we keep connected as best as possible.

I agree with the cold. Homes in the US are better prepared for the cold winters than ours. But we never have extreme cold as in some States in the US. Anyway, I have to agree with this one. There are good things and bad things everywhere. I always felt safe in the US, but I had some edge situations where I felt I would be in trouble and life threatening. Something I never felt in Portugal. Anyway, the thing is if you have the will to integrate and learn about the culture and meet the local people, you get used to. Portuguese are friendly in general and even not speaking the language they try to help you. I felt the same in the US, but maybe I was lucky with the people I met. Depending where you are from in the US, there's some areas where you have a melting pot of different languages, so you have to expect some broken English and will to communicate with you. It's all good in the end. Home is where your heart is.

“Culture Shock”: in Portugal you have breakfast and dinner at “normal” hours, no one is going to dinner at 17:00 (5 pm) 😂, in Europe we like renewable energy and also, Portugal doesn’t have as much garbage food or sugar in the food as in the USA; Portugal having more fruits and vegetables everywhere than in the USA; Portugal having normal “non diabetic” bag sizes and not the huge king or family sizes as in the USA; in Portugal people make some work breaks to drink a coffee or eat something and not straight lots of work hours; Portugal having a social and healthcare for everyone, instead just for some. For me the biggest culture shock: in the USA as a foreigner you won’t have access to a lot of things or rights until you are there for a lot of time and have a green card, but in Portugal / Europe, Americans come and are almost treated as at home, even benefiting from the healthcare and cheaper meds for which they never paid taxes to. Funny enough, the Americans find it right but if an European goes there, it’s as the European was a criminal.

Nowadays people apply a lot the word "shocked" instead of "surprised". The meanings are quite different. "I was shocked it was so good"... No you weren't... You were surprised! Shocked has a negative meaning, it relates to bad stuff, it's a negative surprise along with upsetness.

@@TheRealVarzens Nope. That's an English problem. I'd suggest you check a good English dictionary. Due to the misuse of the word in recent times the negative conotation is slowly changing. But still, shocked has a negative meaning. For a positive use, you could apply surpirised, amazed, stunned, astonished, astounded, flabbergasted, stupefyed... There are plenty of words other than shocked.

06:35 I'd say Porto is a big city, but has the feeling of a small one. Porto has around One Million people. Wikipedia says that the municipality has circa 238.000, but "city" status in Portugal is a bit bizarre. - A small parish with 8000 people can be called a city for having all the amenities needed for being considered one, but afterwards, it can grow beyond its borders. There's no parish called "Porto", the all municipality is called Porto. I would call the city of Porto its municipality but also the neighbouring municipalities: VN Gaia, Matosinhos, Maia, and Gondomar. Together they form the Urban Area of Porto - the City. Not to be confused with the Metro Area of Porto, which encompasses 17 municipalities, which is in itself a Sub-Region of the North, and has 1.7 Million inhabitants

@diogorodrigues747 6 ай бұрын
Porto officially ends with the borders of the municipality. Gaia, Matosinhos, Maia, Gondomar... aren't a part of Porto, people there pay different local taxes, have different types of services and different administrative places. Housing rules are also different and in many cases, the eletric instalation is different and even public transportation is different (in Porto you have STCP, while in the other places you have UNIR - which is a aglomerate of different companies under a same brand that used to run in those places separately before 2023).

Work and pay taxes, not commiting any crime, learning the language and the history, to after 5 years be able to apply portuguese nationality, and than to travell 100% free inside schengen nations. But you only desirve nationaly rights if you be FC Porto fan. -.-

Been in Portugal for two years and does not speak the language... brazilian boyfriend and speaks english with him... friends speak english with her... someone is having serious effort problems... in no country people are as receptive to foreigners and in no country people adapt as much to people from abroad, but this kind of lack of effort is almost insulting. If she does not speak the language it is not because of lack of oportunities. Someone seriously needs to change habits, I would say. If it was in Spain or France people would outright refuse to speak english, even if they know the language. Only proves that being nice does not help nice people.
