portugal is frankly one of the countries in europe i would least want to live in, right down there with moldova, belarus, albania, the vatican and such (turkey is not europe no matter how much they want in so i'm not even counting that)
and even then, albania and moldova at least are probably very beautiful countries with rich cultural heritages that i would love to visit, only i would not want to live there because of the social and economical standards (ruined by communism, imagine that. never heard that story before.)
portugal, on the other hand, is just stupid
