Oh please, almost all of these things are great! ❤🇵🇹 Different level of noise sensitivity? Yes, we are ALIVE! Maybe it's the smell of lixívia, who knows? 😂 Keep doing these videos, I am having a blast! 😊

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.

Strange but, these are all the things I love about Portugal.

[@tiagozadra4307]

You like the low salaries?😂😂

[@Dr3u959]

Fixed income. Retired. Doing all right👍

[@tiagozadra4307]

@@Dr3u959 yes it's quite nice for an expat, things are cheap. Though they are getting more expensive

[@Dr3u959]

By far better than living in Canada

[@stevemorris8858]

I think 8 out of these is ridiculous - its one of the best places in the world

[@lourencooliva7429]

Half of these points are just great things, actually.

[@TheGforceuk]

So zero downsides then

[@PRINCESS-zz3wq]

They're loud as hell too? Thats a plus lol

[@janpierzchala2004]

We need serenity

[@PRINCESS-zz3wq]

​@@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

[@PRINCESS-zz3wq]

​@@janpierzchala2004ah understood

[@TheFatAmericans1]

Too much food? You serious?

[@lantran8967]
