    Let’s be honest... 98% das pessoas que estão aqui são portuguesas e estão aqui para ver o que os estrangeiros acham de nós e se cometem calinadas para podermos dizer como é 😂

    Milk is refrigerated after opening. Before that it is kept in packaging called Tetra Pak. Tetra Pak uses aseptic packaging technology. In aseptic processing the product and the package are sterilized separately and then combined and sealed in a sterile atmosphere, in contrast to canning, where product and package are first combined and then sterilized. When filled with ultra-heat treated (UHT) foodstuffs (liquids like milk and juice or processed food like vegetables and preserved fruits), the aseptic packages can be preserved without being chilled for up to one year, with the result that distribution and storage costs, as well as environmental impact, is greatly reduced and product shelf life expanded. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetra_Pak

    Hey I am Portuguese;
    I always used my fork on the right and knife on the left. I am a left handed person. :)
    Beijinho as you said is on spot! ;)
    About the side walks, that is the reason there are not much skate boarders around here. :(
    You are very wrong about the refugees , people from Angola, Moçambique and Brazil , enter in Portugal easily due to Portuguese colonization back in the old days.
    Codfish being one of our most traditional foods, they all come from Norway! But the Nordics do not cook as well as we do, trust me on this..
    The pot dish you had with shrimps and seafood, I think you are talking about the "Caldeirada" that is the most typical dish from my home town (Peniche). Very common dish among fisherman here. The best ones are cooked on boats by them fisherman.
    "Voçê" (you) is also used in Portugal but in a more formal way than Brasil, like when you talk to a older lady you call her "Voçê", but to a friend you would say "tu".
    Good video none the less. Thank you for it.

    It's funny how she talked about portuguese being like the english and the portuguese of brazil being like america, because it's so true, and it's interesting! Seeing someone talking about our culture, because portuguese people always notice and react to diferent cultures and costumes. I do that myself (:

  • @Madjerozkaz
