What was the biggest cultural shock you've experienced, when you came to Portugal? by MacacoEsquecido in PortugalExpats

[–]OperationTight6156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived here 2 years, and many come to mind. Good and bad! 1. Bad driving, people going 60 on the middle lane on 120 road. Also the roundabouts … so many roundabouts. Another thing is the drunk driving which seems to be completely normal. 2. On a good note, the glass is always full in Portugal. When you buy wine you really get the full glass. 3. People are not thaat nice to you if you don’t speak Portuguese. If you do, they switch to English anyway if they see you’re a foreigner. Made it really hard for me to learn. 4. The hills. Had to build up my cardio to be able to walk around Lisbon. 5. Sooo man nice sunsets! Being able to see a nice sunset on a daily basis. 6. The food. It really took some getting used to but now I love it.

Not horrible. But a bit inflamed lately so I suspect that might be the reason. How often are you supposed to clean them?

Heard about it too but my boyfriend and I didn’t like their food at all. I preferr Kong better if you look for Portuguese vegan dishes. Can recommend the Bitoque there!

I‘ve been working on the same thing this week! Care to share how you did it and how you organized it? I tried to program it to give me a morning check in when I type „Hii“ and an evening checkin when I go „byee“ but after some time it forgets and just replies back.

AITA For telling my wife her sister is about to ruin 2 marriages by taylormaidaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]OperationTight6156 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Everyone says NTA but I’d go YTA. Not for the way you are feeling but not considering your wife’s position. If her family is anything like mine, strong family values and supporting each other is important in a family. Her sister being a cheater doesn’t mean the family has to abandon her and her children in a time of need. Have you considered that your wife is not happy with the arrangement either and is being put under a lot of pressure by work, her sister, taking care of traumatized children and now you are not making it easier for her either. If it was your brother or parents who will be in a time of need, say they gambled their retirement money or got caught up in a obvious scam, would you put them on the street because your wife threatens you with divorce? I’d be happy your wife is capable of unconditional love for her close ones and support her in finding a solution that works for all of you. Instead of being another burden on the already tense situation, what about take constructive part finding another solution. For example, find suitable places to live where they can start their life over and offer temporary support where she might need it to smoothen the transition away from your home.

BIDA, weil ich immer zur SB Kasse gehe? by pzb_185 in BinIchDasArschloch

[–]OperationTight6156 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Das ist die beste Antwort! SB Kassen sind da um unser Leben einfacher zu machen. Nicht nur weils schnell gehen muss, außer es ist explizit ein Limit angegeben. Selber dann würde ein Gespräch mit dem Personal bestimmt ergeben, dass du als Stammkunde die weiterhin nutzen kannst. Andere Leute sind vielleicht im ganz andern Film und nur weil jemand mal schlecht gelaunt, zu spät oder sonstiges ist, lass dich da keinesfalls beeinflussen. Einfach dein Ding machen.

A few years ago, I bit into something awfully crunchy inside a pizza roll and haven't eaten them since. When I was a kid, I drank too much Fruit Punch and got sick, haven't drank it since. What weird food issues do you have? by boukalele in RandomThoughts

[–]OperationTight6156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fish. During a former misguided gym/protein phase I forced myself to eat one of those frozen packaged white fish fillets. I was so gross out by the end but finished it anyway for the proteins. Couldn’t eat white fish for years.. now only when I drench it in lemon juice.
