>> Now, when you first come to live in Portugal you are not leaving a world behind, you're
coming somewhere that's comfortably familiar and excitingly different at the same

>> For us this started as we left the airport.
>> The kids were shouting out the names of brands advertised around us.
>> You'd think they'd thought we were going to the moon, not a highly sophisticated 21st
century European nation.
>> We all felt like tourists on holiday, which was brilliant, because the Portuguese love
visitors and made us feel very welcome ... even when they realised we were
staying!
>> And now, we still have as much fun as tourists do -- perhaps more, because we've got to know
a lot of the ins and outs.
>> And it's easy to build up a network of friends from both the local and expat communities,
so you're always discovering something new.
>> Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that by coming to Portugal you're not losing anything.
>> In fact, you are gaining a whole new world.
>> In fact, it's more like two whole new worlds ... and you can have the best of both of them!
>> So, see you later. Or, as we say here, até mais!
