Real life of Portuguese immigrants

Pursuing a happier life is everyone's birthright. Obviously, immigration is to pursue a happier life. The following are two real immigrant life experiences written by Portuguese immigrants.

Tell you the truest life in Portugal

I have been in Portugal for more than ten years, and I have been used to life here for a long time, and I gradually began to like this place and this land. This is also a long-lasting love!

do you remember the first Portuguese sentence you learned when you first arrived? ol? When I saw the Portuguese calling for their children, I asked others stupidly? Why are there so many children named in Portugal? anda c。

Portugal has a pleasant climate and abundant seafood. May I have this? Eating food? Found a place to live and work in peace. Drink a cup of semi-fat milk every morning, black bread with snow mountain cheese, and a soil egg. The energy needed in the morning depends on them. Speaking of seafood, cod is well-deserved as Portugal's national fish. It is said that there are hundreds of different ways to make cod in Portugal. Olive oil is one of the specialties of Portugal, and it is delicious and nutritious to cook dishes with it. In addition to having pure air, the water quality in Portugal is impeccable, and the drinking water produced here is taken from snow-capped mountains or groundwater. Drinking a glass of red wine from the vineyard by the Duru River in the evening can bring you a warm night.

Portuguese people are cheerful, good at singing and dancing, and very hospitable. Once they meet an acquaintance in a coffee shop, they will always invite you for a drink. Mutual understanding and understanding is the key to the long-term communication between people. My Portuguese neighbors often send me fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, honey, wine and so on. Although these are local products of their home, they always give me a warm feeling. We in China pay the most attention to reciprocity, and I will often give them some articles for daily use in my shop. After a long time, this kind of contact with them has gone beyond simple material exchanges, and more is to be caring and attentive, which also confirms the saying that we often hang on our lips: distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors! The most touching thing happened several years ago, when I was shopping in a supermarket in preparation for returning to China, I happened to meet an old customer who was nearly 8 years old. He knew that I was going back to China and quietly bought two bottles of wine, and waited for me at the gate of the supermarket for nearly half an hour. It was a cold winter evening, and when he handed me the wine and asked me to convey my regards to China's family, my tears kept rolling in my eyes?

Life in Portugal is quiet, and you can find your own happiness in this quiet life. When you get good grades in school, when you make achievements in your career, when your hard work is recognized by everyone, when you fish by the river alone, when you sing and play ball with your friends, when your children play a song for you, when you walk along the beach with your lover and children, when you discuss life with street friends at Baoma Street Forum? Happiness is like your shadow, it is always around you, and everything depends on your discovery and attention.

The economic crisis is getting more and more serious, and I feel that there are fewer and fewer people around me. Not only my Portuguese neighbors, but also some successful people have returned home with their clothes on, but most Chinese still stick to this land silently. Because it is difficult for us to fully integrate into this society, letting nature take its course can only be our best choice.

what is your hometown? It is a return journey, a reliance, a yearning that never forgets, and a timeless concern. It is the thread in the hand when a kite flies, and the lamp when a thousand miles traveler returns at night. It is the place that haunts me, and it is also the pain buried in the deepest part of my heart! Portugal has become my second hometown, and we really live in this land.

through the kitchen window, you can see the distant mountains and the blue sky. The clouds here are really changing rapidly. Although I look out from the same perspective every day, I feel different every time. The ever-changing clouds seem to show the mixed feelings of life. Life is so dull, just like the last sip of tea you drink every day to wake up the tongue buds that are about to numb. Life is more like clouds in the sky, and who can foresee the future? In this case, cherish the current dullness!

here I quote a poem written by Su Dongpo, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, as the conclusion: This peaceful place is my hometown. Isn't this the confession of our overseas wanderers? !

Living expenses and experiences of Portuguese immigrants

Eating: The food in Portugal is relatively similar to that in China, so people in China are more acceptable. But it's still terrible. When I first arrived, I was really dying. 4 euros, a horrible amount, food is not expensive, 1 euros a week really don't know what you eat. But now I'm getting used to it, and I think it's not bad.

canteen: 2.2 euros for student canteen; Postgraduate canteen 4.15 euros. Including bread, soup, staple food, dessert and drinks. The drink is a cup of orange juice, or milk or tap water. I don't know the price of the professor's canteen. It is estimated to be very expensive. Once my colleague (who owns a small company) told me: Are you going? We never go, only professors go, which is very expensive!

restaurant: not much to eat. A barbecue buffet, 18 euros/person; A steak, 15 euros/person, only ate steak, no soup, drinks, desserts and so on. China restaurant, hot pot buffet 15 euros/person; Stir-fry 1 euros/person. Not including seafood, the price of seafood varies, some are very expensive and some are generally expensive. However, Portuguese seafood is cheaper than other countries.

supermarket: milk (cheapest) .6 euro 1L; Eggs (cheapest) .6 Euro 6; Pork belly is 2 euros and 1 kilogram, and ribs are 2.5 euros and 1 kilogram; Mutton 1 euros; Fish ranging from 5 Euros to 5 Euros is 1 kg; Beef 5 euros -5 euros ranging from 1 kg; Chicken 2 euros -1 euros ranging from 1 kg; Green pepper, purple radish, cucumber, tomato and Chinese cabbage are generally about 2 euros and 1 kilogram; Potatoes, carrots and so on are about 1 euro and 1 kilogram. Fruit is generally about 2-3 euros and 1 kilogram.

wear: it's basically the same in other parts of the world. the expensive ones may be cheaper than those in China, and the cheap ones will be more expensive than those in China. Generally speaking, it is ugly and there are few expensive shops. There is basically no need to go shopping. So this will not be introduced in detail.

residence: student apartment: single room, 375 euros per month in 27, 4 euros per month in 28, and now 415 euros per month. Public toilets, kitchens, full, basically can not rent a room. Laundry, telephone, parking are extra.

rented outside, the single room is generally 25-3 euros per month. The conditions are average. China people generally can't rent a house with good conditions and cheap prices because of language problems. People who can speak English are generally professional renters, and it won't be too cheap.

ok: the bus card is .85 euro each time. Buy a ticket on the bus for 1.4 euros each time. Subway .8 Euro each time. No one checks tickets, but occasionally there are staff to check tickets on the bus or at the subway exit. It seems that you will be fined 6 euros for evading tickets once, and you may leave a criminal record, which will have an impact on your next stay.

Public institutions: There are too many rules and regulations, but it is estimated that no staff member knows all the procedures. Therefore, different staff members have different requirements for doing the same thing. ? Time is a cloud? It's perfect in Portugal. They have a song, which translates as? let us do it tomorrow? . No matter how many people are waiting in line, but how eager you seem, whether to chat or chat, whether to drink coffee or not, you can't do it today, it doesn't matter, you can wait in line tomorrow and continue to do it!

medical care: attaches great importance to children. It's common for adults and the elderly, which should be a common problem in western capitalist society! I heard that some old people died in the process of making an appointment to see a doctor. Therefore, most people, seriously ill and slightly ill, take emergency treatment, which is not expensive, and there is no need to queue up for an appointment.

Pension: It is estimated that it is related to the insurance paid when I was young. There are many very old taxi drivers, and it is roughly guessed that the pension conditions are not very good. However, there are some friends who retired at the age of 6, and now they live a chic life. They exercise every week and often travel, but this friend used to be a doctor. Therefore, it is speculated that pension should be closely related to the insurance paid.

income: 8-1, euros after graduation. The salary of graduates is not very clear. However, their national scholarships do not need to pay taxes and insurance. They cost 1, euros per month for doctors and 1,5 euros per month for postdoctoral students. Moreover, I heard that some of them have a family of five, and 15 yuan after tax is also alive and kicking.

climate: it's really good, it's really good, there are not many days when it's below 1 degrees in winter, and there are only a few days when it's above 3 degrees in summer. The solar light ratio is strong, but the temperature is not high, which is very comfortable.

pressure: if you can find a job, there is basically no pressure. The main problem is that there are too few job opportunities. Anyone who stays here for a while will definitely get used to it when he goes back. My colleague said? time has no ending, we can do it tomorrow? . You can understand from this.

Example: A family of three, with a one-year-old baby, is frugal, does not buy luxury goods, does not travel, does not buy expensive fruits and vegetables, does not buy snacks, does not eat expensive beef, mutton and seafood, basically does not go out to restaurants to eat, and does not often buy clothes (555, what a pity), with an average monthly income of about 1,2. In which:

the rent is 2 euros, the water and electricity is about 5 euros, and the communication is omitted;

The baby nursery fee, diapers, milk, etc. are about 3 euros but less than 35 euros.

others: 2-3 euros. Think of 1euro as 1rmb, 6 euros a week is really frugal.

Experience the real life of Portuguese immigrants

What are the most worthwhile experiences of Portuguese immigrant life? For Portugal, you must have heard of some world-famous cultural life, such as Portuguese egg tart, which has a reputation as a world-famous literary name. In recent years, many people choose European immigrants, especially to invest in Portugal. Whether you are an immigrant or simply traveling, you must know more about the culture and life of this country, so that you can feel different Portuguese life and enjoy different customs.

Taste an authentic Portuguese egg tart

When it comes to Portuguese food, many people blurt out Portuguese egg tarts. Whether you come to Portugal for tourism or immigration, you must buy a freshly baked egg tart, with cinnamon powder and icing powder, plus a small cup of Portuguese coffee, which will make people enjoy the sweet aroma and coffee smell slowly, and that feeling will not be felt at home or in Macau.

the land of wine and grapes

Porto, Portugal is famous? Wine capital? All kinds of fine wines are displayed in the streets, countless bars, restaurants, and even stations and docks. The huge wine cellar stretches for miles along the Duro River, and the river is full of wooden barrels full of wine to sail. Some of them are successful. One? The zigzag berthing on the shore has formed a gorgeous amorous feelings painting unique to Porto. Tourists all stop here to enjoy and take pictures as a souvenir. Especially when you stand on the other side of the river and have a bird's eye view, you will sigh: is Porto worthy of it? Wine capital? Good name!

exotic China element-blue and white porcelain

Many people in China are familiar with the blue and white porcelain in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, but in Portugal, blue and white has become the background of life. Exquisite, simple and bright Tsinghua ceramic tile paintings are embedded in the outer walls of churches, beside the gates of houses and behind the seats of restaurants. When these usually modest and quiet blues come together, you will find that they have an intoxicating and powerful atmosphere, and tile murals have been integrated into the blood of Portugal. It is against this background that the Portuguese laugh, cry, hug, kiss, say goodbye and live freely. Those smooth and colorful tile paintings make the original dull life instantly vivid.

watching Portuguese bullfighting in Portugal

Bullfighting is one of the traditions of Spain and Portugal on the Iberian Peninsula, but it is obviously different from Portuguese bullfighting. Western bullfighting, cowboy bullring was stabbed to death on the spot. The traditional practice of Portuguese bullfighting is that at the end, only a group of strong boys pull down the cow with several swords inserted in its back without stabbing it to death.

I'd like to recommend a small town in Portugal called Francois Silva. The bullring in the town is a circular open-air bullring that can accommodate more than 1, spectators. At 5: 3 every afternoon, tourists and locals from all over the world wear cowboy hats and gather in the bull ring filled with cow dung in the scorching sun to watch the wonderful Portuguese bullfighting performance.

Life is about experience. Interested applicants should apply as soon as possible, feel exotic and experience European life.
