A few words about Portugal

Vocabulary of the language is also different

If you've never been to Portugal, take a trip there worth it

It a pleasant country with a leisurely, unhurried, lyrical and a little melancholic by nature people.

The architecture of cities like Spain, lots of greenery, bright colors and lights, South the colors are pleasantly caress the eye.

I'm not Portuguese and not deeply studied the history, traditions, literature, and something of Portugal.

So I not everyone can speak for themselves, but rather repeat the words of other, more enlightened people, which I tend to trust. I'm studying Brazilian Portuguese language, and something (honestly, little), you know. In Portugal I realized that my Brazilian there completely useless. They speak differently.

The tone of voice is completely different, the pronunciation of almost every word is different.

Elementary word Breakfast is said differently in Brazil and Portugal.

Unlike continental and Brazilian variants of Portuguese language more substantial and more significant than American and British English.

In General, if focused on Brazil, need to learn Brazilian Portuguese, Portugal Portuguese net.

In order to avoid incidents to mix not worth it I for myself clearly understood. That is the rhythm of life is different from them. When you're there, you get used to it to walk leisurely and slowly, smile and be polite. Upon returning to Moscow, I realized that I don't fit into the corners, ie, more simply, bumping into people in the subway. I don't have time to avoid hitting the foot, hand or elbow with someone. In General, first day back I was shoved and harassed. It took a couple of days.

City in Portugal is much quieter and slower than Moscow

The art of maneuvering in the flow of people came back to me to walk quickly without touching anyone, for a couple of seconds to squeeze in where needed with minimal losses and bruises to the body and nerves, to find the shortest path and bronirovat it without that in Moscow not to do. There is a different rhythm. This rhythm can you swirl like a tornado and throw where you don't like (if you, of course, remain alive). And maybe not to throw it away, if you sinhroniziruete. This takes time, and, of course, power. The Portuguese do not like to argue, directly go to the conflicts. Simply put, they all suffer. They are European conformists. If they don't like something, they will sigh, complain, but firmly to go further, not speaking. They are much more relaxed than the Spanish.

Their emotionality is soft and mellow as old port.

The Portuguese are not particularly favored by the Spaniards, consider them invaders and usurpers of their territory. Apparently, they are just afraid that the Spaniards want cost modern take possession of Portugal and to dominate it. A couple of years ago in Portugal was even a law forbidding the sale of real estate the Spanish companies. (Because of the cheapness of real estate the Spanish companies were buying a house there and opened offices in Lisbon that the Portuguese did not like). The Portuguese are a little jealous of Brazil. After this, they opened it, it so to speak, their child, who grew up and left far behind its parent. The parent is very proud of the child and is sensitive to the comparison of Portugal with Brazil. We are not Brazilians. We're Portuguese. After all, the Portuguese are a proud people, which, despite its scarcity and economic problems, retains its sovereignty and national identity. It is worthy of respect. If a guy starts Dating a Portuguese girl, you can be sure that it is from himself not going anywhere. Girls during meetings and courtship cling to the guy's stranglehold and like complain men do not like it, do not give them personal freedom. Now the guy always needs to be with his girlfriend, and if he's not around so it must be a good reason. I want to be alone for a reason not considered. What does one if we're together. So I described the Portuguese girls couple of my friends in relation to men. And at the same time men still have to try hard to win the girl. Girl Portugal proud and inaccessible creatures. The fact that Portuguese-sobstvennosti have their men does not mean that they are ready to rush to the first comer.

A man should to win initially, and then a woman will have are my some observations made from the second trip to Portugal and from conversations with people there.

Portugal, of course, more versatile and just a few words I can't say much about the entire country, but I have a lot of what he said (wrote) after my first trip to Lisbon and Porto. In addition to other me too much of what is said (especially guidebooks, directories and Internet), so smoothly and beautifully (ie time) rounded. Interestingly, Portugal and Brazil the same sounds. Portugal is still not a little Brazil, and self-sufficient (and somewhat underrated) country with a rich history and culture. But most importantly, of course, that is the country that gave the world Brazil. For this it is necessary to love tenderly and sincerely respect.
