    YEAH! I'm in Madeira!😅. Very bad weather today... I came in, and god said, let's welcome the proper Madeiran way! 😂. Big storm! All day was spent inside the hotel. I'm just joking. I know fully well how Madeiran weather can be, but never been during a storm like this. In 2019, it was about to hit one in March but ended up being nothing too serious. Yesterday (5th of June) i still went out driving around. Went to Machico while raining. Then try to force it a little bit, and went to Caniço, but by then it was too much for me, I wasn't men enough to proceed with the Fiat Panda that i have from the rent-a-car. Today I didn't risk going out, wasn't worth the risk. Just went walking as soon as the rain stopped. I think even for Madeirans it was a hard day, wasn't it? 😂. Your reply will be: this is nothing! Peanuts!😅

    Cascata dos Anjos... todos as vezes que lá passei for sem querer, e a conduzir é uma zona que eu realmente não gosto, as pessoas ficam no meio da estrada, ha carros a vir dos dois lados, ha cascatas em toda a parte da ilha. A estrada e o tunel parece ser dos antigos, ha tanta boe estrada nova, nao vejo o interesse. Gostava muito de ir à floresta Fanal, não se vou conseguir convencer a minha mãe, nunca la fui, não conheço a estrada.

    Conhecemos muitos amigos africanos que gostam de comer milho frito, agora se comem ao pequeno almoço ou se comem como um snack não tenho a certeza. Mas é muito bom. Acho que é mais uma cena Cabo Verdeana. Em Portugal acho que não é costume comer-se milho desse forma.

      Madeirense, do campo, neto de agricultores nonagenários, cresci vendo meus avos cultivar o milho, colher o milho, tirar a palha do milho, embagar o milho, joeirar o milho, levar o milho ao moinho movido a agua, peneirar o milho, cozer o milho com alguns torresmos, couve, "semilha", feijão, comer o milho a seco, e no dia seguinte fritar com banha de porco, e uns ovinhos fritos. Tanto quanto sei, a produção de milho esta entranhada em toda a população do norte da ilha, apesar de hoje em dia estar em risco de extinção.

    Jeff can you make a video about why Madeirans and Azorians hate each other so much? 😂😂. I'm Portuguese and I can't understand that love-hate relationship between our islander's compatriots. There is enough room for all to love each other, don't we?! 😅. I just think Madeira and Azores are one of the two pretties places in Portugal. I'm fully aware when I come to Madeira I can't just say that some Azore's things are better than Madeiran ones 😂. You should have put that on one of your previous videos. 😂. It's a terrible idea to say Azorian's Pineapple is better for example 😂. There are a lot of similarities between Madeira and Azores, but you can't say that openly. The accent, some people mix the two when recognizing it. Madeirans don't like for you to ask if they are Azorians. They don't like it! Madeirans are very proud of being Madeirans (as they should be). For an average Portuguese, most people can't tell the differences. Madeira and Azores are poorly represented in continental Portugal like most other regions to be honest (apart from Lisbon and Porto, for the State, the rest doesn't exist). The best thing we did was give them autonomy. Madeira and Azores only appear in the news when something bad happens. A storm, somebody was killed, drugs so on and so on. Azores did that Netflix series, all I have been hearing is criticisms, I was actually very proud of them for putting out a series.

So, i still don't know Coimbra 😅, I have been 3x times as a grown up (+1 as child) in Madeira, but never visited Coimbra as grown up😂. I haven't still been to lots of places in Portugal...

      Hey Andre! I wouldn’t go too far in saying such things, I’m a positive person so I prefer to see the world that way, and of course project it that way too. Where isn’t there some rivalry? Between brothers, between neighbours, between states within small towns? I prefer not to think of it that way and I agree their pineapple is better but do they have espetada? 😂

    Before I did my bags to come to Madeira last Friday I asked the rent-a-car guy how was the weather lately, he said raining and sunny all on the same day, but not so bad. So, I brought beach shorts and an umbrella as well. Forgot to bring the BOOTS! 🤣As you always say, be prepared... I have 5 pairs of Merrel boots, I was not expecting to get my feet all wet as they did yesterday 😅
