Ah, I think I can imagine. Local chicos treat the visiting ladies well, I imagine?

Algarve is one region there I haven't visited much, the coast and beaches are gorgeous but it's turning into a brit ghetto, and I prefer the normal, Portuguese villages and people, culture.

Fascinating country, so many things to see and variety, on a small sland area. I love it there.

Ah, verdade mesmo -- percebi agora!

Falas Português tambem ou so a mistura?

Pero eso es Español, no Portugues... 😈

Blitz, can you elaborate on that? How so?

@georgia @moonshine@freespeechextremist.com

@moonshine@freespeechextremist.com @Skeeter Yeah, I know. They are welcoming to immigrants too, because they know the population would decrease if not for new people moving in.

Lisbon is wonderful and is becoming very popular with anyone who has a pension or is a digital nomad. Salaries there are low compared to other places, but if you have some regular income and can prove it, you can get the visa without much trouble.

In the mean time, I visit there in the Spring and stay for a couple of months, backpacking or bike touring all over the place, without spending a fortune.

My family originated from Portugal, I speak the languafe and am enchanted with European culture and lifestyle.

@moonshine@freespeechextremist.com @Skeeter I am really sored tempted to apply for a Residency visa and go live in Portugal full time. I am so much happier there, food is great and affordable, so is wine and beer, and weather is nicer than here in Ontario, Canada.

@moonshine@freespeechextremist.com @Skeeter Yeah, I imagine so, I would love to visit but am scared of sticker shock.

Look at some of the meals I had in Portugal, averaging about 7 Euros or so, with a drink (Red Wine for me) include. Ah, and coffee to taste, espresso included.

@moonshine@freespeechextremist.com @Skeeter None of the above I am afraid.

At those prices, I would bug out to the airport and fly to Lisbon! 😃

@Anke I was thinking this morning that eventually this could be an automatic feature, server side.

As the network grows, there will be more and more content we are not really interested in seeing; like it happens on the Facebook timelines.

Here's one big pond and no specific groups for themed posts unfortunately. I think something like Usenet is good to sort things out in a wide spread network.

@hackiechan @malavika A similar professional in the US would probably feel just as bad, if not worse than the OP.

Welcome to the Fediverse!

@raining_night People on your age group are facing some hardships. Costs for housing are astronomical in many places, due to speculation and excessive credit (easy money to avoid a depression when 2008 crisis hit, still on 11 years after); escalating tuition costs, low paying and difficult to find first jobs in their fields of study.

Without mentioning the more serious climate change possible consequences coming in near future.

I feel sorry for the generation, my own kids are included on it, my oldest is 35, the youngest is 20 this year.

Don't despair, keep going, we all have to struggle and hope things improve.

@rvlobato Verdade mesmo, e depois ainda mandam e desmandam. O povo todo está bem irritado, especialmente com o Supremo.

@raining_night That sounds nice, we don't need larger engines, really, makes the bikes heaveir and use more fuel. 650 is a nice size.

People here in north America are more into the HD ones, which are not my style.

Saw some nice sportier ones in Europe, and people travelling or going on rides in groups with them, nice.

@raining_night It is really nice. I watched all season one eps, then went looking for the novels, which are credited on the TV series opening screens. Read them all, plus another sequel a year later.

@raining_night @freemo Yes, sorry, I noticed the login prompt after posting it, sorry.

The author shouldn't share a link to his followers page if he decided to lock it. See The Gibson's post for a nice list.

@raining_night Yes, correct. I would want a good Touring bike, as I love to travel.

I had some bikes many years ago, the last one was a Honda CB 360.

This is the one I found - nice one.

BMW 1994 K1100LT special edition Motorcycle

@raining_night Saw you asking for recommendations and thought about something, but a different genre.

An amazing Brit TV series, based on a trilogy of novels. Season 1 was a big success, we are waiting for season 2.

"A Discovery of Witches", originally aired on Sky TV, UK. Available on various places in the net if you look around (Kodi?)
