Just a tip regarding the "entradas" (bread, butter, olives, etc), if you don't want them you CAN tell the waiter to take them back. By law, they have to do it and cannot charge you for them. I've never met any waiter who felt offended by that, it's totally fine. As we don't work with tips, the people get the same salary regardless.
Good to know! Thanks Ricardo 🌞
l am not sure why l didn't know you all along 😂😂😂 . The way you express your videos is on another level.
Underrated channel. Awesome video!
obrigada!
I can't thank you enough about mentioning SPF. I am Portuguese, born, raised and still live here. People are very ignorant when it comes to skin cancer. I had melanoma in my 20s and I am someone that doesn't even go to the beach or gets a lot of sun exposure in general. My skin cancer was only diagnosed in my early 30s and I was incredibly fortunate that I didn't take my life. The sun is not your friend!! Please everyone, protect yourselves, apply and reapply SPF when outside.
sorry to hear about your melanoma. hope it's all gone by now 🙏🏻
@@ThisisYulia It is, I was lucky :) never going out without sunscreen again.
@@raquelalbano170 hello miss, can I talk to you ....am about relocating to Portugal
always love your sense of humour. Thanks for the efforts Yulia!!
always a pleasure, Satyam!
You are hilarious! Accent plus humor = priceless
thanks Mark 🙏🏼
I really love your sense of humour
Your comment about the sunscreen is so important. I moved from Porto to Vila do Conde last summer and I learned the hard way....embarrassing red face! This spring, the same thing happened, and it's not even that sunny! Thank you for the advice, the sun screen is now by the front door. I use it every time I go out.
haha my pleasure 🌞
I just love your humor 😂
Great video. Thank you
I love your videos mam . I'm planning to come to portugal waiting for my vfs date and visa stamping. Your videos are really helpful ❤️☺️
thank you!
Yulia you knailed it !!! Good luck walking in Lisbon in high heals on a rainy day 😂😂😂
3:14 😂... The way she said that... Very funny
Thanks for sharing . What is there to do if drinking is not a big thing for my wife and I . Shops , lakes, beaches , restaurants and Art is our thing .
Thanks for sharing. Love it!
You are angel...I love you and your videos ❤
2day i watched your all shorts videos ❤❤❤
thank you so much!!
Your Russian accent makes your videos even more enjoyable
spasibo comrade!
Yasss! I love those moments, when Julia use her russian accent
Nice video 👏
I took three 10 day trips to Lisbon before moving and living in Lisbon for a year...Sorry, but you cannot discover much in 2-3 days! I do agree there's much more to Portugal than Lisbon, but you need way more time to discover all it has to offer!! ❤Lisboa and Portugal 🇵🇹
Hi Julia thanks for your video I am planning to visit Portugal on September what places do you recommend and how many days in each place?
Yeah, we definitely get offended with any assumption that Portugal is Spain, like Spain or a part of Spain. But of course you can speak Spanish if you ask "Sabes Español?" first.
Nice information Obrigado...
The last tip is hilarious 😂 😆😆🤣 so there are people just selling herbs 🌿 saying it’s weed/other drugs? That’s a bit weird
welcome to Lisbon 😂😂
Замечательное видио, пожалуйста побольше про жизнь в Португалии и Европе, спасибо!
спасибо, будет!
Nice vid cheers!
thanks!
I'd love to hear you talking in Portuguese, it seems you pronounce the words quite well. My assumption is that some Russian words may sound similar..
haha maybe one day! I find that Portuguese pronunciation is very similar to Russian because of all the r, sh sounds
Pickpockets must sense you're a turist! Locals (like me) don't have the same experience.
I agree!
Natives of a country can always tell the foreigners apart. But it's also in the body language and the way people dress. For example, locals walk like they know where they're going or like there's nothing to see around them, while tourists walk like they're sightseeing, sometimes even carrying a camera.
Is carrying a camera a problem? I'm a photographer and will be coming to Portugal soon. I am, of course, bringing camera gear.
@@ericwilcox2442
I don't think so, this is not the wild west.
I'll be going. to Portugal in Aug. Which Fado show do you recommend?
changed country , now the information will be about Portugal ? Congratulations on the videos and thank you.
nah. I make occasional videos about Portugal because people ask me about it but I’m not planning to change the topic of the channel :)
@@ThisisYulia I love your channel, always watch!
thank you!
I read the other day that you should not eat or drink during Fado song. Just listen and appreciate.
Hey Yulia! Great video! 😊 I would just add that I feel the “don’t speak Spanish in Portugal” nowadays is not due to Spain itself but due to other foreigners that think that Portugal is Spain (yuuup, it still happens 😅)
Wish you “Boas Festas” and keep up with the great content!
muito obrigada Mariana!
Ok, finally a travel video about Portugal from you that overall informs without insulting. And btw, the entradas from restaurants, they are not unique to Iberia. Go to Rome, you get charged just by sitting on the damn chair!
I never insulted Portugal, I just said it’s not for me 😳🤯
@@ThisisYulia When you say that "it's crazy how many pickpockets are in Lisbon" do you think we take it as a compliment? It's hugely exaggerated! Never had any issues with pickpockets in Lisbon and I used to ride the tram frequently.
@@ThisisYulia i see that you have posted guidelines however your videos are mostly quite whiny and then you get offended as to why people tell you to go back to where you came from. On another video you have complained about the heat yet you have moved to a hot country? I speak Russian and live in Canada and if I complain about the cold here, I will be met with, well, this is Canada! And pumpkin spice latte? Really? You live in Europe yet you complain you can't get a nice latte? And then you stated that people apparently im Russian and English channels basically can agree to disagree in a civilized manner as opposed to Portuguese. Perhaps people in Portugal feel strongly about their country and are proud just as most Canadians are/were for the most part until recent changes bit literally most of your videos are rolling your eyes and being passive aggressive. If you miss the cold and pumpkin spice latte you should definitely have stayed in Canada. Its rainy, cold, dark, we have sun for 5 seconds and even summers aren't promising with sun. Oh, pumpkin spice latte that tastes like literal shit? Lol really what are you even on about.
@@ThisisYulia by the way pickpocketing is a thing in Canada as well and I have been recently warned regarding that because I complained about people who are standing way too close.
Great Video. This one is very accurate. Just one or two comments :) , as it is said on the video we do not appreciate to hear Spanish when he is mistaken with Portuguese, since it is kind putting in cause our "independence" that cost us so hard and much in History to achieve (Spain at that time was the Kingdoms of Castela, Aragão, Navarra e de Leão). But in general we do no dislike the Spanish people. By the contrary, we are very different culturally but we get along very well nowadays.
Regarding "Uma casa de fado" (a house where Fado is sung), yes, please be totally quiet when the fadista (the singer) is singing, specially if it is a sad music. After some fado songs he/she will take a break and you can resume the joyful time. Otherwise you will probably get a "shhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" to be quiet :)
Great Video Yulia. Hug.
obrigada Miguel!
Hi,thank you for the vídeo and hard work,could you make a update how much portuguese you learned until now since that you decided to learn portuguese?
my pleasure! I didn't learn it as much as I planned to but I can have conversations with delivery men, grocery workers and uber drivers :)
@@ThisisYulia Good for you,as a native I'm proud of you.
obrigadíssimo 🤩
@@ThisisYulia So it's not muit obrigado? 🤭
Well that is the problem of some tourists around where in Sintra no walking for them if was possible for them they will have transport right inside of the places rooms.
I would like to come to Portugal. Currently, saving money to travel portugal.
but a a good 10-minute walk on a steep street is good for your health! :)
Obrigado ❤
Yulia as a facialist wear sunscreen even when uv indice is low 😜 as for the heels yes girl, plan it well, don’t walk, taxis are so cheap, takes nothing to grab a cab from home to the restaurant and to a bar/club etc
Is there a way to like politely decline the bread and olives so you don’t get charged ?
Yes, you can ask them right away not to serve them. They'll happily oblige.
That said, some restaurants have entries that more than just bread and butter/olives, and which are so good that they're well worth the price. Just something to keep in mind.
Your video super 🙂🙂
thank you!
Behind you is that Home Alone Lego House?
yes 🥹
You get sunburn during winter?
I though that would be impossible
you can! it depends on the UV index which can be 3
You're right, it is basically impossible.
I like it
In Spain they dont charged you for olives, or another aperitivo. And in Portugal or Spain, the salary of the waitress is going to be the same, doesnt matter if you eat a lot or drink only water. The salary is a fix number.
Offended with "Gracias"... LoL. What about "No bueno!"?
no bueno has nothing do with Portuguese. people on this channel know that I like to use phrases from different languages in my video 😉
@@ThisisYulia People don't get offended with "gracias", we get offended (and offend is a very strong word to express it) with people thinking we are part of Spain. When talking about Portugal and then use "no bueno" you're breaking the rule of "things to not do" :)
No bueno isn’t even proper Spanish. Nobody says that in Spanish. 😆
The app for bike ???
"In some restaurants, even if you don't touch the bread, the olives or the butter, they will still charge you" - they can't do that! You've been robbed, plain and simple. You should have complained. I don't even understand how some idiots give Portugal a bad name like that (maybe they aren't even Portuguese?). Regarding the sun, come on, I've been living in Porto for 61 years (except for a year I spent in Athens, with a lot, but I mean a lot, more sun, and a few months in Paris), and I never had to worry about the sun. The sun is natural. And I'm even on the pale side. But I dare you to find the sun during the winter months, when it rains and it's dark on a daily basis. At least up here...
Мне очень нравятся твои видео про путешествия и иммиграцию.Пришла сюда с русского канала.
Можешь посоветовать,пожалуйста,университеты/колледжи геологии,где можно и французскому выучиться?
И насколько существенна разница для приёма на работу между колледжем и университетом для этой специальности?
Прости,что не по теме Португалии😅
привет, спасибо большое и добро пожаловать! такие вопросы занимают много времени и поисков информации поэтому приходи на консультацию, там обсудим эти и другие вопросы 🍦
I was watching some of your videos very recently because I discovered your channel few days ago. But if, as you said, you don't like that people look at your videos without subscribing... Well then I leave then.😐
@@gb4939 I am pretty sure it was meant lighthearted (a little jest to entice)
I have no problem if someone speak with me in spanish, I understand the reason, but I hate when they speak brazilian portuguese, no way! I prefer spanish, believe me!
Actually I feel like Portuguese people love Spanish people
We do 😂 well some do, we don’t like turists to speak in spanish because a lot of them think we are city in spain 😂 nothing against the spanish .
They just don’t like being confused for the Spanish, it’s not hate, it’s national pride.
😄😆😁😬🤭
😂😅❤
Make a video how to get a Portugese Girlfriend.
Do you know stories of people farting during a fado? 😂
haha no, do you? 😂
@@ThisisYulia haha no, but imagine! If you said munching on some food can be heard throughout the small rooms where they sing, I can only imagine how a loud, ripping fart would sound! LOL
@@dmarti47 That's also exaggerated.
@@goncalofarias2244 omg stop being a hater
Regarding your comments about the Portuguese getting offended if you speak to them in Spanish - Portugal has a national heroine that is celebrated for having baked seven Spaniards inside her bread oven. I'm not really sure if she burned them alive or killed them with a spade (the official version is that she baked them AFTER killing them...), but they were definitely hiding inside her (huge) bread oven and she killed them. It all happened in the remote year of 1385 and we even have some "azulejo" panels commemorating the deed. You can see the heads of the Spaniards peeking fearfully from inside the oven while she gets ready to kill them. Racism against Spaniards is totally admissible in Portugal, just imagine the same image with seven black men peeking from inside the oven... it would (justifiably) spark an outcry, but with Spaniards it is not a problem The public humiliation of Gungunhana (a Mozambican black ruler) by the Portuguese troops has disappeared from our history books (it was still proudly taught when I was a child) but the "baking" of Spaniards by a Portuguese female baker is glorified. Here's the Wiki of the story (in English) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brites_de_Almeida.
Sorry, but In my experience you can speak Spanish without any issues in Portugal. They understand Spanish and answer in Portuguese. No problem at all. My advice is: Don't live in Lisbon :)
Portuguese native here and from the North (not Lisbon).
You may not have an issue most times, but it makes people from Portugal feel very invalidated. We're not Spain. At the least, you will get that because it means you think we're all the same when we're not, not to mention the looks from the locals who notice you doing that. They're similar languages, but they're not the same, and it's very insensitive. Sure, some people may "take it" with grace, but it doesn't mean they will feel happy about you doing that - no one does. If you want to speak Spanish, then visit a Spanish speaking country, instead, please.
It’s just plain rude to speak Spanish in Portugal.
I love the Spanish. Portugal is a distinct mulatto European subculture that is alienated from the rest of Europe. Portugal is also a Rothschild plantation which means it is a puppet of the English speaking world. Spain is truly a hub of European culture although it is a bit of an European isolate because of its geography.
Mind your trap.
Portugal is just an European as Spain. Your level of ignorance is embarrassing.
PERFECT ))) ,,,, to see you
🤩🤩🥳🥳
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
