What it was like living in Cascais, the Portuguese “complaining”, the invasion of tourists and the children who saw Felipe Neto for a long time.
Fernanda Lima lived in Portugal for around three years. Been in Cascais, a calm place. Or “very calm, too calm”.
The Brazilian presenter moved to Portugal for reasons of security and the desire to provide a more discreet lifealmost anonymously, to her children.
Fernanda praises the Portuguese and highlights the connection with Brazilian culture: “I love the Portuguese people, they are very welcoming and friendly. And they really like our culture, Brazilian culture is very seductive, the soap operas…”.
The presenter remembers that Portuguese has a reputation for being a little more closedto complain. Older people “complain more, they are even more pessimistic. Today, my being late here (for the program) would be the end of the world, everyone would be left with their hair standing on end”.
But “young people are not like that anymore”. Much because Portugal “is no longer a country of Portuguese – it is a international country, There are people from all over the world. In Cascais they speak a lot of English instead of Portuguese. They are very mixed with other cultures of the world.”
This gentrification, or this “invasion” of tourists does not please everyone the Portuguese: “Portugal was a poor country but now it is receiving a lot of tourists, a lot of money; but there are Portuguese people who don’t like it because it takes away their daily life, they can’t park their car… I understand a little about these complaints about so many tourists.”
Fernanda Lima also spoke about the differences on the road. You Brazilians honk more than the Portuguese: “We have to learn something from the first world”.
To the basic question “What is it like to live in Portugal?”, the presenter has a curious answer: “It’s the least a citizen would deserve to have and live in”.
Then came the question of language: the Portuguese “they already speak Brazilianthey are already so used to it.”
RivoTalks presenters Cecilia Flesch and Gabriel Wainer then commented that there are many Portuguese children to consume content from Brazilian influencerslike Felipe Neto.
And, as a result of so many hours of viewing, Many Portuguese children end up speaking Brazilian Portuguese.
Cecilia Flesch said: “That, for a Portuguese person, must really affect them.”
Gabriel Wainer added: “I call historical reparation”.
And here a moment of some indecision arose between the three participants in the program.
“Undoubtedly! It’s a little bit”, reacted Fernanda Lima.
“Yeah, right? Normal. We got a little bigger“, concluded Cecilia, equally somewhat hesitant.
