Yes, I'm biased. When it comes to Portugal, I tend to go through fire to protect their honor, which is understandable after living here almost for a decade now. Not in vain, everything is relative. When we moved to Portugal in February 2010, I never thought that this would happen to me, I found a new home. Much faster than you would think, but what are the reasons and why I could fit in with such speed in a new place, in a completely alien environment? The people and their hospitality For me, it was incomprehensible at the beginning how people could be so friendly and open to complete strangers. This is even more valid for Northern Portugal, where family bonds and friendship are very important to the locals. It is not hard to understand than that we did not spend much time doing nothing, we were bombed with invitations all the time. Here is a lunch, there is a dinner, a weekend program, festa * festa and festa again,etc. The best example is our first Christmas here. The fact was that we traveled so enthusiastically in the first year in the country that when the holidays came, we didn’t had any free days from work. When we told our relatives that we couldn't go home this year at Christmas, they were not happy at all, which is understandable I think. However, when our Portuguese friends learned that we wanted to spend the holidays alone, then a serious competition had emerged among them to take the Hungarian couple to their Christmas party. Finally, they managed to decide who wins and we droped into a Portuguese family celebration where we were treated as if we had always lived here and with all the naturalness as possible.
