Speaking Portuguese

  • Seven former colonies have Portuguese as their official language: Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome and Principe, East Timor
  • It is the sixth most widely spoken language in the world, with roughly 240 million speakers

The Lost Generation

  • Youth unemployment in Portugal is 26.8%, with more than 95,000 people jobless between the ages of 16 and 25
  • About 6.5% of the country's population of 10 million left the country between 1998 and 2008, according to economist Alvaro Santos Pereira
  • About a quarter of the working population are freelance, even if they work full time
  • A protest picnic in March which brought 400,000 people on to the streets of Lisbon and Porto, was one of the biggest demonstrations in the country since the 1974 revolution


"Banks. They made mistakes and now they say we have to pay. But I disagree, I don't want to pay," she says. "I prefer to leave everything behind - family, friends, my culture - everything than to pay for a crisis I didn't cause."

Biggest Loser Commercial Breaks
CurlyManu
What I learn watching The Biggest Loser / Peso Pesado (Portuguese version stupidly called Heavy Weight) - well not from the show itself but from the commercials - is:
(1) XLS pills to go from a size XL to a size S;
(2) Bio Active Slim Duo to lose weight while you sleep;
(3) Depuralina anti-cellulite to lose 30% fat, -4.5cm and get rid of the trash your body accumulates;
(4) Alli to help you lose 1kg for every 2kg you lose for yourself;
(5) Antistax for healthy legs, pain free and stronger blood vessels.

I wonder what the hell they do so much exercise for... In fact why do we bother dieting/exercising at all?
