you all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
There are no such thing as "Iberian attitude toward life". Portuguese attitude is not even remotely similar to all te numerous attitude of Spain. I guess you're a bit confused on what Portugal relly is...
No, it is not! Portugal is an island, obviously. Why not say "European attitude toward life"? Or maybe "World attitude toward life"? Isn't Portugal in Europe? Isn't Portugal in the world? Mate, do not comment just for the sake you saying something. A comment must be insightful, and your's is just useless...Again, there is no such thing as "iberian attitute toward life". Use your brain once in your life rosy... É com cada cromo que uma pessoa tem que aturar!
It is my dream to go in Eurovision at least one time but I do not think I can make it there because I am a huge fan of ESC, from Kosovo, which is not even part of Eurovision. I want my country to participate in it so much because I believe we can do good.. And you guys are hilarious !! Do not ever stop this blog . It is everything I want during Eurovision season and beyond.
Lisbon looks so gorgeous! 😍 Perfect place for hosting a Eurovision. Can't wait for ESC 2018,I'm so excited! 😃😃😃 I wish I could experience my first Eurovision there next May. I have already seen many Eurovision's from home but not from the place where it is held. I think my parents don't want to buy tickets cause I think they find the prize too expensive,anyway maybe in the future.I'm a true fan and I want to visit Eurovision atleast once so I'm not giving it up.
my first trip to Lisbon last year i stayed at Myriad hotel close to the Arena and i really love this area...next year it will be my first EVS so exciting already booked the same hotel since i knew when the Portugal won haha...
the hotel was fantastic outstanding views...on the top have spa fitness a little Swimmingpool and the best is Sauna with the fantastic views from the river
Lisbon is an amazing town, I lived there for a few years and it has its flaws, but in general it's a great place to live in. I love Portugal and the Portuguese people! (I'm currently in Lisbon😉). I love your blog!😙
Lisbon is ready for the Eurovision 2018. Can't wait to be there again. Thank you William for sharing with the world the beauty of the parque das nações. I'll see wiwibloggs there :)
MEO Arena is supposed to look like the Limulus crab, the 1998 world fair's theme was "The Oceans", and this arena was the Atlantic pavillion. The ceiling is actually made of wood, which makes it look amazing from the inside. The roof covering is made of titanium.
yup. The whole area is themed after the oceans. The shopping mall it's actually a cruise deck... it even has the exhaust pipes on top. The two towers next to the shopping malls are supposed to resemble the sails of ship vessels ... everything is themed after oceans, water or anything related to it...
I am very grateful for your videos recorded in Lisbon. It really is an old city that always offers the best of modernity. The tranquility as you mentioned it is one of the jewels of this great space on the banks of the Tagus. And for those who have great taste and sensitivity as you have, Lisbon becomes a small paradise always surrounded by the sound of the waters.
Nope, it's permanent, or at least I saw it every time I commute through Oriente Station. I just can't recall the first time I saw it there: some 5, 8, 10+ years ago... (also thought it was a book fair the first time I saw it)
The bridge said in the video would be great for people who do that route regularly. :P And it's so cool that a place that I go usually will be the center of the world next May! :P
Vasco da Gama Shopping Centre looks like our local shopping mall in New York City. But I looked it up and they have different designers. Yes, Lisbon has a much more casual feel than Kiev.
but just for curiosity, the Oriente Station in Lisbon (shown in the first minute of the video) is from the same architect of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. The architect is Santiago Calatrava
Wonderful Lisbon! Love my home town, Porto too. But Parque das Nações is really modern, large, bright, and the best place for ESC 2018. Greetings from Northern Portugal!
WOW! ... I can already feel the energy of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest !!! By the way, the shopping center looks quite similar to the one I went to in Zaragoza, Spain.
OMG!Today is my birthday, and wiwibloggs brings a new video about Eurovision 2018(that is going to be in my country❤).Best gift from wiwibloggs EVEEEEER!😂 PS: William,you are so sweet!
I've been there so many times and everytime I go there it's like I find new things about that place. so many happy memories. thanks for the tour and everyone is always welcome to visite, no matter if your country is in eurovision or not. 😁 greetings from Porto. 👅😆
Lisbon in May is already somehow filled with tourists. Can't imagine with ESC happening at the same time, It'll be Lisbon on Steroydes ahah, really looking forward, so H Y P E D!
The arena still belongs to the same owner's, the thing is, Altice is a company that recently bought multiple telecom companies all over the world, MEO being one of them, and they're changing the brand MEO to Altice, that way they get an international brand through the multiple companies that they own.
Hey William! (: Do you have any ideas on when / how the tickets for the shows will be sold? Also, amazing job on covering all Eurovision contests! You should totally co-present the show one of these days (feel totally welcome to do so here at Portugal) (; Greetings from the next host country, you rock!
I just rewatched some of your reaction videos and you and Deban definitely need an AUX/headphone jack splitter! I always get nervous when you two almost pull the headphones out of your ears because you are so far away from each other!
I don't believe that the University of Lisbon will allow the euroclub parties to take place in their bulding, but there' s plenty of space for that at the international exhibition center, across MEO Arena.
William is a journalist who has written for Billboard, New York Times, Financial Times, CNN.com, etc. He's freelance so has a lot of freedom. Otherwise it'd be impossible to keep wiwibloggs going.
HI lovely ESC fans, Lisbon is perfect for eurovision. A modern and a old city whith 5000 y. Olissipo: city of Ullises.... 2 weeks to walk in lisbon, see the old streets, eat the magnific food, good wine, and the white light...no other city have the light like lisbon. And at the night at bairro alto, principe real, cais do sodré...until 8 or 9 AM (all night long) no stop 24/24h. have to know the viewpoints ... dozens of them in lisbon, the city of the seven hills, to see lisbon of diverse perspectives ... they will be in love with lisboa. And for those who rent a car, if you cross the bridge, you can go shopping for the alcochete, the freeport, which is an outlet, with many shops at great prices, including high fashion brand stores. Until May, my dear friends.
Lisbon arena most famous music entry so far, in 2005: m.ruclips.net/video/fgSdHN-adDY/видео.html Let's hpe if ESC18 brings some remarkable performances as well.
He knew it. Everyone knows it. You missed the point. He meant to say that the flags of the countries participating in Eurovision are there (even if not all of them are there). No need for an history lesson. I'm Portuguese. Good day :)
Lisbon is one of the most beautifull cities in Southern Europe. Perfect to host a Eurovision Song Contest
Totally agree. It's going to be an amazing atmosphere.
you all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Pierce Jake instablaster =)
What a glorious city! Perfect for Eurovision
It really is. Affordable, convenient, gorgeous setting, solid infrastructure, Iberian attitude toward life - it's love
There are no such thing as "Iberian attitude toward life". Portuguese attitude is not even remotely similar to all te numerous attitude of Spain. I guess you're a bit confused on what Portugal relly is...
Where is Portugal? by chance isn`t Portugal in the Iberian peninsula? I think who is confused is you ..
No, it is not! Portugal is an island, obviously. Why not say "European attitude toward life"? Or maybe "World attitude toward life"? Isn't Portugal in Europe? Isn't Portugal in the world? Mate, do not comment just for the sake you saying something. A comment must be insightful, and your's is just useless...Again, there is no such thing as "iberian attitute toward life". Use your brain once in your life rosy... É com cada cromo que uma pessoa tem que aturar!
Of course Portugal is in the Iberian peninsula!
You're being so good on promoting Lisbon, we really should pay you for that :) Obrigada!
as if Lisbon need any promote :)
Awww, thank you! I accept euros, British pound, American dollars, Vietnamese dong - you name it lol
it sounds like a gun sound lol 6:55
What a gorgeous place to host the ESC! Love love love the flags!
Totally agree. The flags are amazing!
Hannah the flags are the ones of all the countries which participated to the Expo 98...
Rui Duarte I know, sorry if my comment made it seem like I thought they were only there for Eurovision purposes! ☺️
But for example, Australia and Ireland didn't take part on the Expo 1998 and their flags are not there
Hannah no need to be sorry... I write it just in case... 😉
Omg I would like to go in Portugal so bad for the Eurovision. This place is so beautiful and peaceful as William says. So sad I can't make it
Awww, we're sad you won't be there either :(
It is my dream to go in Eurovision at least one time but I do not think I can make it there because I am a huge fan of ESC, from Kosovo, which is not even part of Eurovision. I want my country to participate in it so much because I believe we can do good.. And you guys are hilarious !! Do not ever stop this blog . It is everything I want during Eurovision season and beyond.
Lisbon will definitely provide the Best Eurovision Contest Ever Seen next year!!
I'm so grateful for the fact that I might actually get to go this year, i get so hyper everytime i see one of these videos. 🇬🇧🇵🇹
That's so lovely to hear. We're really glad you are hyped!!
Its so beautiful!
Totally agree! LOVE LISBON!

Lisbon is ready for the Eurovision 2018. Can't wait to be there again. Thank you William for sharing with the world the beauty of the parque das nações. I'll see wiwibloggs there :)
Cindy Silva YAY! Thank you for your beautiful words Cindy ❤️
After watching this video, I just want to go!
Great Job William! Lisbon is an amazing city and portugueses are a lovely people! 🇵🇹 ❤️

A total dream! The most beautiful city in the world! In addition to that, the people there are so warm and welcoming!! ❤❤❤
I was in portugal. So i am not lying. I was at a library at a restaurant at a museum. Everywhere
We hope you had an amazing time.
wiwibloggs i did
I am very grateful for your videos recorded in Lisbon.
It really is an old city that always offers the best of modernity. The tranquility as you mentioned it is one of the jewels of this great space on the banks of the Tagus. And for those who have great taste and sensitivity as you have, Lisbon becomes a small paradise always surrounded by the sound of the waters.
Welcome to Portugal. Can't wait for Eurovision... want it now!
Every station needs a little book center. I'd go to Lisbon just for that tbh
It's so sweet, right?
I'm not from Lisbon, I live in Porto, but that's not very common, at least here, it must have been a book fair.
its common.. almost every station has one here in lisbon.
Nope, it's permanent, or at least I saw it every time I commute through Oriente Station. I just can't recall the first time I saw it there: some 5, 8, 10+ years ago... (also thought it was a book fair the first time I saw it)
Omg did you see the otters in the Lisbon Oceanarium? They're adorable
The Oresund bridges connects Malmö and Copenhagen. Apologies for the slip-up. I was tired and hungry :)
wiwibloggs I am always tired😅
haha, fair, fair!
You're human, you make mistakes, we love you as you are ❣️
The bridge said in the video would be great for people who do that route regularly. :P
And it's so cool that a place that I go usually will be the center of the world next May! :P
wiwibloggs but in the video you said you had just had lunch 😂
Vasco da Gama Shopping Centre looks like our local shopping mall in New York City. But I looked it up and they have different designers. Yes, Lisbon has a much more casual feel than Kiev.
totalllly more casual. also glad the malls are building bridges across the ocean.
but just for curiosity, the Oriente Station in Lisbon (shown in the first minute of the video) is from the same architect of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. The architect is Santiago Calatrava
Nice places
Totally agree!
wiwibloggs yassassss❤
Portugal 🇵🇹❤️

I love you wiwiblogs ! Can't wait for ESC 2018 !

WOW! ... I can already feel the energy of the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest !!!

Love shopping centres with glass roofs - the light is amazing! And you're right - energy is in the air in Portugal!

Mrs. FabPotato That makes us sooo happy. Thank you!
Lisbon is beautiful! I'm really sorry I'm not in Lisbon today😥
Lisbon in May is already somehow filled with tourists. Can't imagine with ESC happening at the same time, It'll be Lisbon on Steroydes ahah, really looking forward, so H Y P E D!
8:01 fire
You have amazing eyes to have spotted that!!
ahaha I'm from Portugal. Im habituated to see fire in the summer.
ahah habituated, classic portuguese ;)
It's "used to see", don't take it in the wrong way
Migas Almeida ahaha ty
I also saw the fire. As a Spaniard, I'm also used to it xD
The arena still belongs to the same owner's, the thing is, Altice is a company that recently bought multiple telecom companies all over the world, MEO being one of them, and they're changing the brand MEO to Altice, that way they get an international brand through the multiple companies that they own.
Thanks for explaining that!
I Love the way he prounouces portuguese words 😂

Hey William! (:
Do you have any ideas on when / how the tickets for the shows will be sold?
Also, amazing job on covering all Eurovision contests! You should totally co-present the show one of these days (feel totally welcome to do so here at Portugal) (;
Greetings from the next host country, you rock!
Lisbon.. a city invented in the heaven
I just rewatched some of your reaction videos and you and Deban definitely need an AUX/headphone jack splitter!
I always get nervous when you two almost pull the headphones out of your ears because you are so far away from each other!
Nice video men!
I'm from Portugal
Is it already confirmed that ESC will be held in MEO arena? They just confirmed Lisbon😶
It's confirmed as MEO Arena :-) But they've been calling it the "Arena" because of the ownership change we mention in the video.
Hope you liked your visit :)
If you want you could be our turistic guide during Eurovision, William ahahah
Portugal ❤_❤
0:52 Deban 😃
You are so cute William, can't handle
You won't stop commenting Eurovision as now when Eurovision Asia starts ? 😧
ESC Jejo Of course not! We'll just speak about both :)
wiwibloggs Thanks god 😁😁
I don't believe that the University of Lisbon will allow the euroclub parties to take place in their bulding, but there' s plenty of space for that at the international exhibition center, across MEO Arena.
But it now belongs to the University of Lisbon and its being converted into a conference hall. The works shall start soon
I don't believe that will happen. Besides, the construction works (to build a library, an auditorium, etc.) are not ready until 2019.
Do you guys have jobs other then Wiwiblogs?
William is a journalist who has written for Billboard, New York Times, Financial Times, CNN.com, etc. He's freelance so has a lot of freedom. Otherwise it'd be impossible to keep wiwibloggs going.
Wiwi, probably the EuroClub is NOT gonna be at Parque Eduardo VII. It is projected a big fest by Benfica fans.
When are you doing the vmas?
William needs to edit the video. Then we'll launch. Nominees are sorted :-)
HI lovely ESC fans, Lisbon is perfect for eurovision. A modern and a old city whith 5000 y.

8:34 that smoke what the heck?

+Ana Catarina Mendes ;-;i hope its not bad.

comment 1
YASSS!
Thanks wiwibloggs!!!!!
all those flags are from the countries which participated to the Expo 98... nothing to do to the Eurovision 2018...
He knew it. Everyone knows it. You missed the point. He meant to say that the flags of the countries participating in Eurovision are there (even if not all of them are there). No need for an history lesson. I'm Portuguese. Good day :)
lol
Why are you doing this though?
Sick of Eurovision music. How could he say such a thing !
I said "if" hahaha. And just kidding :-)
Porto > Lisbon > Rest Of Europe :p
I loved Porto so much. BEAUTIFUL!
Let me know when you come here so I can pay you dinner :D
