I want to "semi-retire" there in a few years... Love this country.
There's a slightest between a Portuguese and an American person regarding drinking wine. We are used to it and we do not aim to get drunk!
Its a crime using wine to get drunk
Overall a very good comment. Not coating the pill, addressing a few facts although not immersing enough, but considering a 16 minute video, well done.
Hey Brent, thanks for all your recommendations in Setúbal, particularly Bocca Al Lupo and Pastelaria Capri. May I add a couple of honourable mentions for the bars in the Casa Da Cultura and the Casa do Turismo. Great value and atmosphere.
We are up in Northern Portugal Viana do Castelo. and my wife is from New York. Cost of living is way better than in USA. The regional Bus network in Portugal is outstanding too. I think the road network is another major difference with great roads for regional access all over the county. Its fast and well planned. Health care yeah, the rest of the world do it better than the USA. Its no contest.
Public transports just work well in big cities, the rest o Portugal is very different.
Portuguese are extremely hard-working people, and many people don't even lunch. Yes, when we're not working we really enjoy some wine, and we like slow food, very well cooked. Your perception is biased by the places you go. Don't want to sound harsh, and I really enjoyed your video, because it's honest, but needed to drop a line regarding this negative image of people that don't work and are lazy.
Show ❤🇵🇹👏👏👏👏
0:23 When the "C" is taking a dump ("Ç") it's pronounced as the "SS" in "passenger". So, it's not "tradiKões", it's "tradiSSões".
No. It is " tradições"
@ já vi que inglês não é o teu forte.
@@NunoFerreiraX - O tipo do vídeo já vive em Portugal há 3 anos, só não sabe que o "ç" tem o som de "ss" porque não quer. Ou porque é 'muricano e acha que não precisa de aprender português porque quase toda a gente fala inglês em Portugal. 🤷♂
@@module79l28 foi só para aproveitar para fazer a piada do "C" a arrear... 😂
Haha the point is, he doesn’t even try 😂😂
So true what you said about the advantages of not having a car. You also lose weight because you walk more.
Delta is my favourite coffee to
I understood Delta is not his favorite, and I even checked with the automatic subtitles. For me, Delta is my favorite too!
Portugal and the US have to crontol the greed of the international imobiliarium groups, they try to explore and profit the most they can, on something so fundamental as the right to have a ceiling over the head.
It's hard to find something that Portugal doesn't do better than the US 🤷🏻♂️
Excellent video. I am Portuguese and I agree with you. You are very welcome here. ❤❤❤ Our latte is much better as well, do you agree?
Listing 5 things that Portugal does best is very easy, the difficult part is finding 5 things that Portugal is worse at!
Salários 😢
Portugal do not promote ethnic cleansing or believe somehow every other nation is inferior.
lol ... 😆🤣😂
Infelizmente é verdade, sentem-se eles inferiores, povinho ignorante, covideiro e marcelista. k nojo!
that's not number one, the USA does school shootings second to no other nation
Chega: hold my Sagres
@@HGoyaschega é o único partido com diversidade étnica no parlamento. Africanos e brasileiros. O resto é conversa de encher chouriços.....
Its NOT cracking down on imigration, Its about ILEGAL imigration. There's a difference. From a portuguese guy
Would be interrsted to see a video on Portugal's politics and more elaboration on its current shifts.
food, paid vacation , easy acess to healthcare just 3 to not ofend the americans so much ;)
huh?! we already are bankrupt before gettin' sick, that's more like it... 😜🤣
interesting. i think each and every country has it's own good things and strengths.
anyway, looking forward for next video!
2:39 "esses" de Azeitão. De onde também são as tortas de Azeitão. 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤
atão e o keijinho? 🤤 e o zé maria da fonseca 🍾
0:53 so... there will be no video next month. 😂
The food is so much better…Less obesity also
I think the acceptance of immigrants varies considerably south to north.
One thing Portugal is WAY better than the US, door deliveries!!!If theres no one at home,they wont leave your package on your front door to be stolen like in the US!!!!They will leave a note warnning you your package arrived and its ready for you on your closest post office!
Sir I’m sorry to correct you but Portugal does way more than 5 things better than US. That being said welcome to my small but beautiful Country
8:46 diet, lifestyle, food/groceries quality, and healthcare available to all for free.
And go to the hospital and be prepared to wait sometimes 30 hours to see a doctor...😮😢
@ Manchester triage system.
Portugal does dozens of things better than USA. The latter is so overrated.
only five things? :)
Lisbon is quantity, Porto is quality. Please visit Porto and conclude yourself. Thanks.
I agree...
Setubal is my hometown where my parents still living there; but I’m in the UK since 2008
????
actually im pretty sure emigration is responsible for 16% of the population. emmigration is very important i agree we need them they need us, we can build a better country together, but the ppl that live here are rly passive, and they probably wont be gaining much from this. Since the bad managment of this has caused quite a few problems, i just hope we will be better in the long run
france spends half of what the us spends as % gdp. 100% of the people are covered and it has better outcomes.
Portuguese work less than americans?? With which crowd is he hanging on?
Now in Portugal anyone arriving emigrant needs to have a job before arriving and qualifications . And I agree with what the Portuguese government is doing there is a need to control what no wants is what did happen in the UK that many of them dont adapt to the country or even learn the language and neither respect their cultural and values seen that happening in UK live there over 20 years and brought many problems that still exist . And some problems also happening in Portugal with some emigrants that dont have the same cultural and values and trying to impose their cultural and values in Portugal leading with some disrespect towards women's and even sexual assault and crimes .
But have you noticed how the percentage of "sexual assault and crimes" is much higher inside a certain portuguese right wing party than among all the 1 million immigrants living in Portugal? In only 50 right wing members of government, there's 5 criminals already: 1 stole luggage at airport, 1 is a paedophile, 1 was drank-driving, 1 was charged with difamation... and 1 is being investigated for hate-spreading as we speak. That's 10% of criminals in a single parlamentary party.
Leave the poor immigrants alone... Go after the rich immigrants instead...
Some of your information it is not totally true. You have to put a lot of stuff in perspective. First USA has 300 plus million of people versus Portugal 10 million. You also are living in Portugal for only three years and just can attest on your own reality and affordability, which does not reflect the struggle of many portuguese people. In the US you if play your cards right you can make a nice living.
Just stumbled across your video... what do you say to Americans who calls our way of life a Socialist one???
Just to point out at the end of the video when you reference that we are more tolerant about imigration, thats true. However, we have been having tons of illegal imigrants that we cant simply not afford to have and this was a measure that the left side of the politics tries to ease but now its a job for the right side of politcs to sort this mess out. If we only have space for 100, we cant have 400...
and why?... because the USA spends money on weapons that could be used to improve the citizens life
Especially helping other nations that pocket the money instead of using it on what it was intended to.😢
@@aidafurao1493 what the Americans?... their only interest in the Europeans is to sell them their weapons or products, it has been like that since the end of WW2, and to oppose the "Soviets" . The USA doesn't need to spend that much money on weapons, and trying to blame that on Europeans is throwing sand to the truth...
@@aidafurao1493 pocket?... how pocket?, do you even know how a government budget works ?...money is never enough for everything, so you have to spread it the best you can, and when the times are more peaceful, you reduce the money that you spend in weapons and allocate it to education, health, infrastructures etc...the real problem with Trump, is that he wants the Europeans to buy American weapons...which are more expensive and not always better than the European counterparts...
Your next video is very easy to do!!!
The public hospitals emploies forein doctors that speaks baddly portuguese, just becouse they can pau less to them.
Milhões
It´s easy to be better when you all have majorly junk fast food.
why only Lisbon? Porto is much more beautiful than Lisbon
Tell the truth, relaxed life style, salaries not enough to rent a one bedroom apartment, public transit still a big problem … 4 million people living in poverty with a population of 10 million… this just a few things but for someone who retired from the US , gives them the privilege of affording a lifestyle that Portuguese people… yes Americans now milking the healthcare payed by people that make a 1000 euros a month..
Long unch time is not evry ware.
Only 5? 😂 Only thing that us its better is that us have mac donalds and NASA 😂 American s are nice but the us,not
Sorry💚🇵🇹❤️
So many wrong expressions I heard from you ! If you drink an orange juice with a scrumbled egg, this is for an American "fresh food" !😁 The Portuguese food is mostly unhealthy, fat and sweet, and has no variety in legumes and salads ! You can have this with cakes, but this makes you problems very soon ! One third of the Portugiese have problems with sugar, because of the food and the Portugiese have the highest wine consumption, that's why they are so slow ! 🥳
If you are a Vegetarian, you are lost !
Healthcare is a catastrophy for the Portuguese people and not amusing for foreigners ! If you use it more often, because it is cheap, you have to think about that !
I friend of mine had a bycicle accident with a broken arm last week and had to wait 10 hours to see a doctor ! Maybe to many foreigners, like you ??
So many Videos, thousands or millions on YT, and all tell the same things ! 🤔
@ingeborgbieberstein7156 This video is a comparison between the U.S. and Portugal. Portugal has a higher life expectancy, lower obesity, and better health outcomes than the U.S. While no place is perfect, I stand by my comments.
@@destinationeatdrink946 Everybodies own choice, it depends not on the country ! 🙋
American is, better ,
Portugal is great for Americans who don't have to work and do all the things that the Portuguese actually have to do. If Americans were to do things like the Portuguese, we would be considered lazy, but since it Europe- it's a good thing.
When you don't move fast enough, you get yelled at here. Now it's cool to be slow.
I lived in Portugal. No thank you. I'm fine just where I am.
Americans fight against free health care in the US and then move abroad to get free health care.
Stay there, please.
But how can you sit down and relax when everyone around you is smoking?
Not in Portugal, it's forbiden. Only outside
@@Atimatimukti Outside is the best place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the world go by.
@@leanderiantrue. And it's true that in Portugal, there are too many people still smoking. But its getting better.
I lived in Germany and there is much worse
It's forbidden to smoke inside doors, whatever the place. In Portugal a lot of people smoke, yes, sadly its a bad cultural thing, but we do have severe rules about it, you can't even drop a cigarette to the ground, and if police see, you get a fine. People smoke but outside
Tell the truth, relaxed life style, salaries not enough to rent a one bedroom apartment, public transit still a big problem … 4 million people living in poverty with a population of 10 million… this just a few things but for someone who retired from the US , gives them the privilege of affording a lifestyle that Portuguese people… yes Americans now milking the healthcare payed by people that make a 1000 euros a month..
I'm Portuguese and I don't know anyone that is poor everyone eats good food,has a car some a old car but they go where they need to go.
USA people buy lots of junk and work two jobs for that and consider themselves rich.
@ I am also Portuguese and I have seen people with small children going to the food bank in Porto ( Bonfim) and just the appearance says more than a 1000 words … I know retired people in the same area with 400 euros a month to just survive … so the fact that I am fortunate enough to not be poor doesn’t mean that I don’t see what is happening around me ../ this is just an example but there’s plenty more … another thing, how many Portuguese people have emigrated due to financial reasons in the past 20 years??
