I live in the UK and have had fly screens on my windows and doors since returning from Australia in 2009. I cannot live without them

Makes sense let those people that are crossing live with you then

1°Pastel de nata,2° bacalhau,3° chouriço, iam from Portugal❤❤❤😂😂😂

If we had racial and cultural homogeneity then I can see there would be no need for borders but there's a reason why we have them.

No matter where they're from, Women should learn how to use the stick...

No borders no masters 🏴🚩

I doubt that there is a place on earth where everyone is nice, polite and helpful. Unfortunately there's always some folks that aren't friendly, had a bad day or jealous for whatever reason.

Question for you Cait, were you "cheating" by reading some text on your smartphone or did you remember the words? You must have some knowledge in Spanish, don't you? Anyway, that was quite impressive for 50 hours of portuguese. I've no doubts that You're gonna be fluent pretty quickly.

Want to share clouds I'd love to see Portugal sky. Ive lost dozens of phones. Humans at tik tok😂❤

Hey great info thank you! Does it work the same for antibiotics or antivirals? Do you know anything about emergency medical prices? Do people normally carry insurance?

Não é Portchugal, é Portugal mesmo 😂 good luck to you! Stay tuned! 😎

In the US, they tell us that if have access to all these drugs without going to the doctor for a prescription, we will all die. But in other places, they don't have to get a prescription and there are no significant problems. Either everyone in these countries are doctors, or Americans are just not as smart as people in most of the rest of the world. The odd thing is that we have the nerve to call the US "the land of the free." There's a great deal more freedom in countries that are less "free" but don't have governments owned by organizations like the AMA.

Muito bom, parabéns!

So safe to say visiting is way more enjoyable than having to work there?

Yes I can identify an American by what they wear - their clothes are size XXXXXL

Partly but that isn't all of it. The UK, in general, has a higher sense of casualness than the US does, so what each country considers dressed 'up' and 'down' is quite different. What passes for business casual in the US would be considered sloppy in the UK.

As an American born expat living in Europe in excess of ten years, Americans could be correctly identified given their polyester clothing.

No it's not that. I am Dutch and went to college in the US. One day with a group of Americans i waa in Niagra Falls. We walked over the bridge to Canada. Thiszwas in the 90-ties. I was wearing a sweatshir, jeans and hking boots m8st of the otherxstudents were wearingsimilar outfits. But the borderl police picked me out of the group. I asked them how the were so sure, they couldn't tell me but it's just an aura.

I can identify Russian like that 😅😅😅 it's their fashion and face 😂😂😂😂

Well, you could compare teeth....

That is very true. American everyday wear is casual almost to a fault.

I went for a walk with my mum and my dog around our local castle one day and saw a family of four in shorts, tshirts, caps, trainers, and backpacks. It was a hot day and I was also wearing a cap, my mum was also wearing T-shirt and shorts, but their combo stood out so much. I immediately said to my mum “I bet they’re American”, and sure enough when they asked us to take their picture for them they had very strong American accents

[Example] There are plenty of people in Sweden wearing this atleisure (?) clothing. Then there's the sweatpants/hoodie sets. And let's not forget the horrible "dad" sneakers. I was taught the following: Work out clothes - for work out, or, a leisurely stroll in the neighbourhood. Sweatpants/set - only for casual visits to family or very close friends. Sneakers - for all of the above. As my parents and grandparents used to say: No one wants to be around someone who went to the gym and thought it was appropriate to be around other people when it's clear they haven't even showered. (It doesn't matter if you actually went to the gym or not because athletic clothing equals work out in most people's minds, and you shouldn't make people feel uncomfortable around you, thinking you're a slob who can't even bother with personal hygiene.) Don't be rude. Don't flash bum or tits in public (for those who think leggings are pants and a work out bra is a top). But mostly, just have some self respect and don't dress like a bum or hooligan in public.

This is so wrong it’s laughable. I’m American and I now live in Sweden and no one assumes I’m American. People always speak to me in Swedish and are confused and taken aback when I say I’m from America. The few you can tell are obvious but most are not.

Athleisure is a ok.

Mexican here. Kakis and sandals.

Sometimes you can even tell if they are from the East Coast or West Coast

I’m from the UK and wear sports clothes in my daily life. It’s not that. Americans have a certain vibe, same as euros do. You can just tell.

I saw an American woman once wearing everything the exact same shade of orange- baseball cap, top, short skirt, socks and trainers. Very orange.

This is sooo true - I walked past couple the other day in Clapham Junction and before the even opened their mouths I knew they were American 🤣

Wooow, that's crazy! I was in Prague as a student for 2 years and I loved that! I had no problem to make friends. But I understand that everyone has different experiences.

I live in Barcelona and I went through a phase where I really wanted to fit in. I paid attention to what Catalan girls my age wore and then picked out a few of the typical things-dress pants, trench coat, shirts that are the cut that are popular-and I immediately noticed a difference. People stopped defaulting to trying to speak to me in English and it worked like a charm. I notice American tourists and they are easy to spot. I think even outside of athleisure Americans just...don't dress well? I think that a lot of Americans wear clothes that fit poorly. (Like the size is wrong, or the silhouette is very off balance, or the clothing is weirdly tight or baggy in strange places, the fit is just off.) A lot of them wear extremely informal clothes out and about. There's a lot of running shoes with random outfits-even button ups.

Polo!

Hey, I don't usually respond to vids but thought I would have to chip in here, given some of your dismissive responses to others. Firstly I watched the full three parts for this, and actually appreciate you taking the time to produce such content. I myself was first an 'expat and then became an immigrant: but this only existed in my mind. However, from my perspective this is an argument about semantics and cultural meaning. Frankly the immigration policies of most western countries do not create any distinction between the two - you are an immigrant or there on a temporary holiday or working visa etc etc - in the eyes of the law you are an immigrant. I feel your perspective has been coloured somewhat by the experience of living in Portugal and the other countries which have extremely receptive migration regimes for non-EU migrants (eg the PT digital nomad visa). In most of western and Northern Europe you can expect to be put in the same queue as those from Africa or Asia when it comes to arriving and staying beyond three months. Source; my own personal experience of living in Belgium and trust me, an American coming to work or study here is considered an immigrant. Full stop. What counts is your residency status (permanent or not). Debating over the meanings of word is all great until you have to deal with an immigration service or employment bureau. The only 'expat' status that exists in Belgium is for foreign executives working in international companies, and only means that they have to pay Belgian tax on their Belgian income. This regime is only applying to 20,000 or so high paid executives. Also, generally the term ex-pat is something very anglo specific and I think has its origins in the age of Empire. My Francophone friends would not use it and frankly the Dutch speakers will regard you as a new immigrant. Generally within the EU, there is a greater distinction between non-EU and EU migration, rather than some cultural focus on expat vs immigrant status. Thanks and keep up the good content.

To blend in I always wear long skirts and muted tops. Europeans are constantly shocked I'm American.

When leaving a country you emigrate. When moving into a country you immigrate. An expat is an expatriate… i.e. someone who has got citizenship elsewhere and lives outside their home country. A migrant is just someone who migrates… this means they move around a lot… generally this word is used for birds or animals… that migrate to different locations for water etc…. I’m not sure how migrant is used more colloquially.

As someone who studied migration & immigration in the Mediterranean, these are quite accurate. In the movement of persons/people, there are a couple things to consider which are all based on the question “Why?”. This will bring statuses like refugee for example. A good example of an expat are those in a country for a contract job or for school. Peacecorps is an example of this. NGO workers that often travel to different countries can also be considered migrant workers. This is such a rich subject as there is historical importance to this facet of humanity. One other immigration term that isn’t talked enough as it is charge is the colonizer or imperialist which is another instance of movement of people & its power over the indigenous residents.

LoL you sound like a brexit apologist. The only folks who've ever used the word expat are basically British when they are abroad, and that's particularly done just not to be thought of as in the same group as every other migrant... which by itself now a days is largely used by stupid people to actually mean refugee so they don't look politically incorrect... and can say crap like "get rid of the migrant" instead of "let's not give an f about human rights and let them die." That may be the worse video I've seen... trying to define words by definitions that aren't even completely correct, without keeping into account the evolution and modern usages of the words in their contemporary meaning. Next we gonna see people go to the sea side and call themselves expat cuz they sleeping a night in a cheap motel for their holidays in ibiza. Hilarious

Nice video. Lot of white people who are actually immigrants to my country call themselves expat because they look down upon immigrants in their own countries. Just simple racism. No Karen, if you are a permanent resident of my country, you are an immigrant to me.

1) the Portuguese are used to do as they are told 2) that libertarian attitude of "me against the State" that is so popular in the USA is merely residual in Portugal. On the contrary, the Portuguese have a tendency to try to lean on the State, so they don't see the State as the enemy 3) a reasonable part of the population have a hard time trying to make their salary last until the end of the month, those got really frightened that this disease would ruin their lives. They were anxious to follow instructions so that the problem would go away 4) the disease was actually great for a part of the population (my family included). People were receiving their salaries all the same (or subsidies to replace lost income - see, the State is not the enemy), working from home, no two-hour commute to Lisbon, earning the same with a lot less expenses 'Wow, this is great, lets just play along, do as we are told and receive all these subsidies and benefits that they are giving to us' 5) there is a general mindset of social solidarity. As soon as the problem started the government issued a decree saying that all immigrants that had not yet been issued with the paperwork to have their situation legalised in Portugal were provisionally automatically issued with the required documents. All the illegal Brazilians who had left behind a life of constant struggle in Brazil found themselves in a foreign country that instantly legalised them, no questions asked, and with immediate access to social security benefits, unemployment benefits, etc. They were crying in disbelief. You don't go against a State that treats you like a mother would. How many countries instantly legalised their illegal immigrants to avoid them having a hard time during the pandemic?

Expats don't exist. You're all imm1grants.

Muricans are racist and in burgerland there’s negative connotations towards word “migrant”, ergo muricans really don’t like to call themselves migrants 😂 Goes like this- if you’re from rich country (and probably white) you’re “fellow expat abroad”, if from poor country(and probably not white), you’re that dirty word “migrant”. Hypocrisy and so on.
