One of my favourite portuguese cities. It is easy to fall in love with Coimbra. And you guys just have the right pronunciation of Coimbra. Very portuguese way. ❤ Did you visit Évora?
Lived in Coimba for a year, and experienced the student life. The stories I could tell. But Coimbra is really a tale of two cities. When the students are in town, Coimbra is a noisey cesspool of debauchery, mayhem, beer, vomit and piss. When the students are out, Coimbra is as quiet and dull as a remote backwater. Beautiful city with centuries of grime on the walls. The ghosts of history hiding in the shadows. Danger lurking around every corner after the stroke of midnight. It's a special place with very old traditions. Cheers. Venha vinho!

Thank you. That was a great video. My husband and I really enjoy you guys..so real and relatable. We are moving to a small town called Estremoz, near Evora. So we will be watching your videos to learn more about Portugal. Thank you and be well!
Hey Rosanna, Congrats on your upcoming move. We've been to Evora and need to put a video together on it. Thank you so much for watching and please forgive the delay in responding. Life has been lifin'. 😳 Let us know how else we can help your journey.
OMGOSH! Gene and I are so excited to see your feature about our beautiful city.❤️We love living here, it’s beautiful landscape, relaxed atmosphere with lots of things to do and see.
I so enjoy you two. I am about 3 1/2 years out from retiring as a state staff attorney. I want to make sure I'm financially-sound and able to travel, which I enjoy.
Hey Vanessa, Thank you so much for watching and please forgive the delay in responding. Life has been lifin'. 😳 Thankfully we like housesitting which allows us to double to triple the amount of travel we are able to do. 😉
Hi Halisi and Ric. Nice you went there. Did you go to Conimbriga (the Roman ancient city) near by? You must go there next time. Bye keep going out and see nice things.
The ribbons have different colors depending on what you studied on University, for instance: Law is red; yellow for Doctors, etc. It's a tradition in the whole country that family and friends write something on those ribbons (usually how proud they are and wishing that person luck on their future job. Usually there are special ribbons for parents and sweetheart.
Paulo - we LOVE LOVE LOVE Portugal, the people, the food, and the culture! We could do without some of the bureaucracy but you cannot have everything 😆 we're a bit concerned about AIMA. Thank you so much for watching and please forgive the delay in responding. Life has been lifin'. 😳 Let us know how else we can help your journey.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching and please forgive the delay in responding. Life has been lifin'. 😳 Let us know how else we can help your journey. In the meantime, here are some resources that might help: bit.ly/OBUresources. You might also be interested in our private Facebook group - FIRE over 50, you don’t have to be over 50 but definitely from the diaspora: bit.ly/FIREover50 🙄
Cold in the winter and hot in the summer. However, because it has so many trees and the breeze from the river, it's nice, even in hot days. You have a lot of great gardens, as well: Choupal, Choupalinho, Penedo da Saudade, Jardim da Sereia and Jardim Botânico (I don't remember if there is more than those).
I was hoping you guys would talk about the famous love story with Dona Ines. Also, there are the Roman ruins of Coimbriga. You guys must visit the ruins.
I recently watched your long videos on your UA-cam channel, and I was impressed by your content. I wanted to introduce myself to you and propose working together as a thumbnail designer. If you like it and are interested in collaborating, I'd be happy to create thumbnails for your channel.
Hey there, thank you so much for offering. But you must know that a channel with only 44k subscribers doesn't generate enough money to pay for things like this. Plus I'm super duper controlling over protecting our brand and will have you pulling out your hair with my requests.
Coimbra is one of my favorite cities so far. I was there for one of the "initiation" weeks for the students. I love the university area, so many interesting attractions.
Hey Rebel; the young folks definitely create an lovely energy - I love to see the way they interact with each other. 😃 Thank you so much for watching and for adding to the conversation. 💕
Euro Portuguese are Euro Portuguese, then there are the Portuguese that are members of the African diaspora. Some of those folks have been here for centuries but the majority are more recent.
Unfortunately the main cities of Portugal are completely invaded by hordes of tourists and immigrants from all over the world packing the central streets and parks. Locals avoid those places and prefer to stay in the peripherals neighbourhoods. That's the new reality. Another really weird thing is the amount of videos made by foreigners, just arrived in the country, saying what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is not and how it should be! I'm not saying it is the case here, but it is an annoying fact!
Interesting. I believe the world is seeing an influx of foreigners in cosmopolitan cities - I believe that is the new normal. It's a double-edged sword. Either one's city/country does not have the infrastructure that would attract immigrants and they don't have enough jobs to keep their young folks which means that their economic situation continues to get worse or they create programs to attract immigrants and investors thereby gaining the money to invest in the infrastructure but then the citizens are pissed that every 3rd person is an immigrant or housing costs are rising. 🤷🏽♀️ Since I'm from Los Angeles, I Iove seeing all of the faces from different backgrounds - that is my "normal". We would never get on UA-cam and talk about 'what's wrong'. We are guests here and our home training dictates that we act accordingly. However, we did do a video called "Why NOT to move to Lisbon"; but it's not about what's wrong, it's about what's different and may take some time to get used to. Obrigada and thanks for watching.
É o mesmo fenómeno que leva alguns tugas a dizer "beder" and vez de "berer" ("r" suave que, curiosamente, os americanos não conseguem fazer quando falam noutra língua, mas em palavras como esta, fazem-no, sem dificuldade), quando dizem "better" (e os ingleses dizem "beta", com "a" suave).
@@OurBlackUtopia That's good, but don't put pressure on the right pronunciation because as long as you speak correctly, even if with a heavy accent, people understand you! You'll better your accent in time, don't worry! 😉As for my rude fellow portuguese, don't listen to him! There are portuguese people who have a horrific pronunciation in English and they think they don't! 😂
That's the great things about European, beautiful architecture.
Absolutely, I get to take my morning walks next to a castle.

Did you visit Évora?
Hey there, thank you for watching. Yes we did visit Évora and we have all of this footage that we have yet to make into a video. 😳
Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a great 4th of July!!
Hey Alison - we don't celebrate but we were out in them international streets 😆
Hello halisi and ric and coimbra seems like nice sidetrip to getaway from the big city of Lisbon for a few days 😊
Hey Kimberly - Coimbra is lovely and MUCH less expensive than Lisboa. 😃 Thank you so much for watching and for adding to the conversation. 💕

But Marilyn, "cold" is relative - think bay area cold not Chicago cold. 😉

So what race or color do you guys consider Portuguese people?

Pastéis de nada ...nata... nada = nothing nata= cream 😀the lady pronunciation is pretty good 😀
É o mesmo fenómeno que leva alguns tugas a dizer "beder" and vez de "berer" ("r" suave que, curiosamente, os americanos não conseguem fazer quando falam noutra língua, mas em palavras como esta, fazem-no, sem dificuldade), quando dizem "better" (e os ingleses dizem "beta", com "a" suave).
I practice more and ask for help from the people I'm speaking with.
Meus conhecidos me disseram que minha pronúncia está melhorando rapidamente.
