Therefore , if you are lucky to see a performance of fado , don ’ t clap your hands at the end of the song .
Fado is all about feelings .

” 24 .
You can see graffiti on almost every corner here .
Just look at this :

In 2018, Lonely Planet called Portugal one of the best countries to visit that year. Things like the scenery, the national cuisine, and the beaches were listed among the main factors of the country’s attractiveness. In addition, you can find at least 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites there, as well as be amazed by the prices, which are relatively low for Europe, and enjoy the hospitality of the locals. All of these draw such a huge flow of travelers from all over the world that the country’s citizens asked the authorities to limit the number of tourists coming in.
We at Bright Side dove head over heels into the unique culture of this incredibly sunny country and now we understand that it’s impossible to mistake the Portuguese for the representatives of other nationalities.
1. There is a cult of longing in Portuguese culture.
The main feature of Portuguese culture is fatalism, which is called “Fado” here. It is believed that the right fado will ravage you with melancholy, loneliness, and longing so much that it brings tears to your eyes. There is a special musical genre, which includes songs with sad melodies that are most often about the sea, unrequited love, and the inevitability of fate. This is largely due to the fact that Portugal was a great maritime power. The sailors would set sail, and their relatives would yearn for them with all their hearts. Therefore, if you are lucky to see a performance of fado, don’t clap your hands at the end of the song. Fado is all about feelings. In 2011, UNESCO recognized this genre as an intangible national treasure. Also, Lisbon has a museum where you can trace the history of fado from the early 19th century to the present day.
2. Life is very measured here.
Local people are not trying to do a million deals at once. No one hurries anywhere, everyone enjoys each moment of their life. Any deals can be postponed until tomorrow. It’s the norm to be 30 minutes or even an hour late for a meeting. Oftentimes, lines in supermarkets move very slowly because the cashier and the customer might suddenly start an occasional chat. At the same time, no one feels stressed out about it, no one sighs, no one rolls their eyes, looks at their watch, or acts resentful.
3. Natural beauty is a priority.
Girls who have moved to live in Portugal outline that local women pay much less attention to makeup and manicures. They look more natural and accept themselves the way they are. There are not many beauty salons in Lisbon and their services are not very diverse. Here is what a Moscow girl who settled in in Portugal writes, “I went to a local beauty salon located across the street from my house to get my nails done before a wedding. They cut off my cuticle so much that I had to go to the wedding with swollen fingers. After that, I started to visit a Ukrainian salon where everything is top-notch. It is believed that the Slavs succeeded in this and can do nails much better. The prices for their services are almost the same as the prices for the same services in Moscow.”
4. The Portuguese like curvy girls and they have a totally different attitude toward the body.
There is no such thing as body-positive here because all girls know from their very childhood that they should love their bodies and respect the bodies of other people. Cellulite, stretch marks, curviness — people here are not shy about these things and even show these features off. One of the most common outfits worn by women are short denim shorts and a belly-baring top.
5. Surnames in Portugal are quite complicated.
Portuguese actress and model Victoria Guerra. Her full name is Victoria Deborah Lark Guerra.
The surnames of many local residents consist of 2 parts: the first one comes from the father, the second one comes from the mother. In some families, apart from parents’ surnames, they also add the surnames of grandparents, which are also double. It all makes one long name, like wagons on a train. That’s why the Portuguese are the owners of very long surnames that are difficult to both remember and pronounce. By the way, first names are often double too — such as Maria-Louise, for example.
6. Thanks to the Portuguese, those allergic to animals can try adopting a dog.
The Portuguese Water Dog is an almost hypoallergenic pet. It doesn’t shed as much hair like other breeds, it has webbed feet, and it boasts a very calm personality. In the Middle Ages, this breed was used to drive fish into nets. Today, this dog can become a favorite pet for those who suffer from a mild form of allergy to fur.
7. They arrange colorful festivals and celebrations in Portugal that can even outshine Brazilian ones.
Every year this country holds 3 carnivals. However, the Portuguese who decided to bring the style of Rio carnivals to their motherland missed one important thing: they are located in the Northern Hemisphere, while Rio-de-Janeiro is located in the Southern Hemisphere. That’s why, while gorgeous Brazilian women are dancing under the sun at 80°F, their Portuguese colleagues are having fun under the rain at 45°F. Nevertheless, carnivals are the best time to visit Portugal because one can dive into the culture of the country, see a bright show, try various national dishes, and meet joyful local people. Also, every year on the 23rd of June the city of Porto holds the most colorful celebration in the country — the St. John Festival. One of this celebration’s main traditions is to hit each other on the head with a toy hammer or garlic flower.
8. This country has both the longest and the shortest bridges.
Lisbon has one of the longest bridges in Europe — the 56,381 feet long Vasco da Gama bridge, which serves as a highway. This engineering structure has become a new symbol of the Portuguese capital. Also, there is a small creek flowing between 2 villages — the Portuguese village Várzea Grande and the Spanish village El Marco. The creek serves as a symbol for their borders. Here the 2 countries are connected by the El Marco bridge that is only 10.5 feet long, which makes it the shortest international bridge in the world.
9. Nature in Portugal has preserved the traces of dinosaurs.
Cabo Espichel is a cliff where you can see the traces of dinosaurs that were left millions of years ago. It’s not easy to reach them because the traces have been preserved only on steep slopes, nevertheless, they are vividly visible.
10. This country has one of the cleanest beaches on the planet.
Portugal is one of the 5 countries with many Blue Flag beaches. It is a famous international award for the exceptional quality and safety of bathing water. In recent years, Portugal has been overtaken by states with significantly longer coastlines. Nonetheless, this country is one of the golden directions for retirement migration. In their golden age, wealthy Europeans come here because of the wonderful climate, low prices, and tax benefits compared to neighboring countries. Tourists love this country too: for its rich culture, delicious food, and the hospitable attitude of the locals.
11. The Portuguese speak foreign languages quite well.
The main secret of this ability is that almost all foreign movies are broadcast both in cinemas and on TV in the original language with subtitles. The official language of the country is Portuguese. It is very close to the Galician language that is used in the north-west of Spain. Sometimes Portuguese is believed to be one of the dialects of the Galician language, other times, it’s vice versa. As surprising as it might sound, many words in the Portuguese language are close relatives of Japanese words. This is explained by the fact that the Portuguese were the first to establish trade relations with the residents of the Land of the Rising Sun, and they quickly picked up different vocabulary from them. For instance, Japanese words like “pan” — “bread,” “koppu” — “cup,” and even “tempura” — " seasoning" have Portuguese origins.
12. Local people like codfish but they don’t catch it off the coast of Portugal.
Everyone in Portugal eats codfish and it’s mostly bought in Norway. Portuguese chefs say there are 365 ways to cook cod — as many ways as there are days in a year. This fish is the real star of Portuguese gastronomy and it has been consumed here for many centuries. At the same time, it’s impossible to explain why locals prefer this type of fish, especially taking into account that they have such a diverse selection of fresh fish and seafood. The price for fresh fish from the ocean and the price for dried codfish are approximately the same.
13. National dishes are distinguished by the obligatory presence of tomatoes and an abundance of olive oil.
Tomatoes are stewed with rice, fish, and seafood and they are also used for cooking soups. Olive oil is an even more popular product. Not only is this ingredient present in salads and most meat and fish dishes — any dish literally is drowned in it. Street food in Lisbon is true art — in autumn, the city is filled with the smell of roasted chestnuts. One Portuguese man wrote the following in his blog, “One time a Canadian man asked me when seeing chestnuts, ’Do you eat those?’ and I immediately replied, ’Of course!’ He said chestnuts in Canada are for ornamental purposes only. I was horrified! What a waste!”
14. The Portuguese are very shy when it comes to relationships.
Both men and women behave quite modestly, especially when they are just starting to date. They rarely say “Eu amo-te” (“I love you” in Portuguese) and rarely express their emotions in public. It doesn’t mean that the Portuguese are not capable of love, it’s just that they express it differently. They do give compliments here, but they are quite scarce.
15. They have very peculiar wedding traditions.
Putting money into a shoe is an old Portuguese wedding tradition that is still around. In order to help the newlyweds at the beginning of their family life, it’s customary to collect money for them at the wedding. For that, the bride’s shoe is passed from hand to hand and everyone can put inside as much money as they want. Another money ritual is to buy the right to dance with the bride.
16. Portugal is the world’s leading manufacturer of cork.
The production of cork is very environmentally-friendly because it doesn’t require the destruction of trees. They use this material not just for producing corks for bottles, but also for creating various accessories like bags, gloves, phone cases, caps, and even shoes. What’s surprising though, is that cork is a very strong material, it can perfectly stand cold temperatures and rain because the process of processing natural raw materials is complex and multistage.
This is how the material for cork is collected.
17. Locals believe in the power of nature and take good care of it.
52% of the country’s electricity comes from renewable sources. The Portuguese are passionate about flora and fauna. For example, there are numerous eucalyptus groves in the vicinity of Porto and people even use the fruits that fall off of this tree. They use these fruits to make pendants, which are then worn around their necks and believed to protect their owners from colds and other seasonal infections. Also, they keep boxes of eucalyptus at home to scent the room, which is an excellent analog for candles or incense.
18. The oldest working bookstore is in Portugal.
The store is called Bertrand and it opened its doors in 1732. Even the strong earthquake that hit Lisbon in 1755 couldn’t make the store close. Bertrand is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. Of course, it has changed its interior many times but it’s still working. Another bookstore called Livraria Lello is considered to be one of the most beautiful stores in the world. It is rumored that this was this shop that became the prototype for the Hogwarts library in the Harry Potter series of books.
The interior of the Livraria Lello shop inspired JK Rowling when writing books about Harry Potter.
19. You can see the Roman Galleries of Lisbon only once a year.
Those wishing to see this attraction, a bizarre labyrinth, have to book tickets several months in advance. It’s impossible to visit it at another time because the galleries are flooded and in order to make the excursion possible, the water has to be pumped out for a while beforehand.
20. They have a serious relationship with football.
Football for Portuguese people is like a religion. Traditionally, Lisbon is divided into 2 parts: one part of the residents root for the “SL Benfica” club, the other part roots for “Sporting.” Moreover, a serious struggle is also present between the clubs of Lisbon and Porto. It is noteworthy to mention that if the members of one family are rooting for different teams, when their clubs have a common game, the closest of relatives become rivals and often taunt each other. Here is what a guy who visited this country noted, “Now for Christmas, it’s time to visit the family! Back to Portugal. Upon arriving, the very first thing I see on the airport’s monitor wasn’t the plane’s arrival schedule or the luggage belt schedule, it was a football match on Sport TV.”
21. It’s possible to treat your teeth and not go bankrupt here.
There is a myth that dental care abroad is very expensive. But Portugal keeps prices at the minimum for level for Europe, however, sometimes the quality might not be that good. Portuguese doctors are often surprised if a filling in a tooth lasts for more than 5 years.
22. Portugal is among the countries that have a low childbirth rate.
The low prosperity of the country as a whole is the main reason for this. State subsidies for a child are low, maternity leave is short, and taking care of a child is expensive. Having 3 or more children in a Portuguese family is a sign of their increased well-being. Parents have an easy-going attitude toward their offspring: kids are loved a lot, but parents let them go fast. Starting from 5 months, babies start their “adult” life in a kindergarten nursery.
23. Local people are conservative in their views and tastes.
The Portuguese are considered to be one of the most conservative people in Europe. They might visit the same restaurant for years, go to the same city and stay at the same hotel for their annual vacation in the southern part of the country, and arrange scheduled family lunches every weekend. A girl from Moscow who married a Portuguese man outlined the following. “As a typical local person, my husband is not fond of trying new things. My mother cooked dumplings for him and he tasted some other Russian national dishes for Christmas at our friends.” In both cases, he said, “I can’t say it was absolutely disgusting!”

If you want to convince someone of something, speak in a low voice. Low-pitched voices have more influence on people and work when trying to make them agree with you. At the same time, don’t forget about using pauses and changing the volume of your voice, drawing attention to the most important moments. All these tips show people that you know what you’re talking about.
Bright Side decided to find out what helps famous people stay calm and relaxed when talking to each other and which of their secrets we can adopt and use in our everyday lives.
Not hiding from their audience
If you can choose whether to stand or sit in front of your audience, always choose to stand because it will give you a better choice of gestures that will influence the people you are speaking to. Besides, there should be no walls between you and the audience: instead of standing at a podium, let the people see your entire body and show them that you have nothing to hide.
Showing their interest
Simply tilting your head can help you win someone’s trust. It shows that you are interested in the person or what they are talking about. And if someone else tilts their head, in order to find out what they are interested in: change the subject. If the tilt remains, it’s you they are interested in, not what you are talking about.
Mirroring body language
Thanks to mirroring, people can build better connections with others and make them believe that they share the same opinions. However, very often people mirror each other’s body language without even thinking about it.
Talking to everyone as equals
Height shows people’s status. This is why, in the past, people would remove their hats or bow their heads to become shorter. Bosses of big and small companies buy chairs with big backs to seem bigger than their employees. So, if you want to create a positive atmosphere, you have to be on the same level as other people. Many celebrities use this simple trick. When you are sitting and you have a visitor, stand up and make eye contact. And if you are talking to a child, sit down to be on the same level with them.
Holding a purse, a glass, or other things in their left hand
Etiquette expert Myka Meier noticed that when entering a building or when attending an event, royal people try to hold their things in their left hands. This frees up the right hand for a handshake. This is what Princess Diana did and what Meghan Markle does now. And if you are at a party, you can use a flat clutch as a tray for a glass while shaking hands with someone.
Watch their legs
As you probably know, it’s easier for attractive people to win people’s trust. Myka Meier recommends for men to keep their legs at hip-width and keep the soles of their shoes down to show everyone the best part of your shoes, instead of what you’ve stepped in. Girls can use the famous royal position for legs — the legs look as if they are tied in the ankles and shins and tilted to the side. It’s important to keep the heels low.
Dressing accordingly
When you are going on a job interview or to an important meeting, don’t wear things that cover your chest and your neck. Because according to ex-FBI agent Joe Navarro, these clothes make people feel like you have something to hide. This is why politicians often choose suits with low buttons that create an impression of honesty.
Trying to avoid awkward situations
Nothing ruins a good relationship like an awkward situation. One of them is when you go to kiss someone you know on the cheek, and you bump noses, or even worse, lips. To avoid these situations, Myka Meier recommends remembering this: always give your right cheek for the kiss and kiss others on the right cheek.
Not ignoring gender differences
Most of the time, men consider face-to-face conversations aggressive. This is why when you are talking to a man, it is better to be on his side: this way, the conversation will be more friendly. Women are less inclined to compete, so they like being face-to-face. When standing like this, they achieve several things: They get more information about the person because they can see them and can change something during a conversation, adapting to new information and the mood of their partner.
They maintain eye contact and concentrate on each other.
They show their partner that they are listening to them actively.
They keep their partner’s attention better (there are fewer irritations and other information).
Not ignoring physical contact
Touching and hugging are more provocative, but also more powerful ways to affect someone. If someone touches you on the shoulder, you are more likely to see this person again because you will feel a connection with them. Many celebrities use hugging and physical contact to become closer to someone. But there are some important things to remember: The same gesture might have different meanings. For example, touching a woman on the shoulder might be understood as support, aggression, or interest. It is important to watch the person’s reaction in order to not hurt their feelings.
You have to consider the cultural differences and the social position of the person. If you have a higher position at a company and your colleagues are below you on the career ladder, your touches might be considered condescending.
Physical contact can influence other people. A sports team where players often pat each other on the shoulders wins more often. But if you feel that physical contact may be unpleasant for a person, it is better to smile and just speak in a nice tone.

Finding out, after a few years, that the person you call a friend actually has a completely different view on things that you find important might be a legitimate reason to stop seeing each other as frequently as you used to. But suggesting to your so-called “friend” that they can buy toilet paper in just about any store that’s close to home, instead of going to the other side of town to get it, clearly isn’t a good reason to end a friendship. Well, it seems like not everyone would agree with this as you’ll see in our compilation.

Anna: My skin is very thin, and its capillaries are close to the surface. For some reason, technicians cut it deeply almost every time. Some of them even wondered why I felt pain and didn’t react to my requests to treat me in a more gentle way. It was also hard for me to find a good technician because I traveled a lot. Once, I happened to be in the hands of a beginner, and she made my long, gorgeous nails extremely short. Moreover, she damaged some of my nails with a milling machine when she tried to remove the gel. I cried in pain and decided to leave. But I still had to pay for the gel removal! Since then, I’ve been doing my nails myself or going to a salon to do the manicure without having them cut my cuticles.

An adult mother-cat was sitting on the threshold , and next to her , there was a newborn kitten , who squeaked softly .
We let them in .
But the cat asked to go outside and a minute later , she returned with another kitten .

As a result , when the kitten was cured , we took him home .

My cat Monya had been living with us for 15 years. She was black, and she climbed into my friend’s lap as a kitten. It was 2 years since she had passed away when a black kitten climbed into my bag and fell asleep there when I was on vacation. I brought him home. He was sick, weak, and snotty. We’ve been together for a year. He’s become the most affectionate cat. Maybe, my Monya reincarnated into the same black cat? © Lilia Barnatovich / facebook
I saw him in a crowd of people at the entrance to the subway. It was winter, raining, and cold outside with knee-deep mud. And he was there so clean and frightened, with his eyes sore. Without even thinking, I took him in my arms. He hugged me, and we went to the subway. But the subway employees didn’t want to let him in without a cat carrier, so I had to take off my jacket and wrap him in it. So we went home — he was warm and dry, and I was wet and cold. I never regretted even for a minute that I took him in. © Gunay Medzhidova / facebook

If you live with any type of knee pain, the last thing you want to do is any activity that could potentially hurt your joints. For many people, that fear extends to working out, even though it’s so good for our bodies. Luckily, there are numerous modifications for effective lower body exercises that are not only safe but beneficial for your joint health.
We at Bright Side rounded up the most popular exercises that are usually harmful for your knees and found excellent replacements to take the pressure off your joints.
We also want to remind you that this article is made solely for informational purposes and it’s advised to consult your physician before introducing new exercises to your routine. Stay mindful and healthy.
1. Running
While running is an excellent exercise for your overall health, experts advise you to avoid it unless you’re a long-time runner and have developed proper form. Still, you don’t have to give it up entirely since there’s an easy modification that lessens the pressure on your joints. Instead of running on concrete, seek out softer surfaces, such as gravel, grass, or dirt.
If running outside isn’t an option for you but you want to fit good cardio into your gym routine, replace a treadmill with an elliptical. The elliptical mimics the same motions as running but is much more gentle on the knees.
2. Glute kickbacks
Kickbacks are an awesome workout to shape your buttocks, but they can be a real killer for your knees. One simple trick to make the exercise pain-free is to use 2 or more mats, or just find a spongy one that would literally “soften the blow” to your knees.
If a softer surface still doesn’t protect you from pain, there’s an advanced modification for glute kickbacks that offers the same result: Rest your elbows on a bench or a chair so that your core stays parallel to the floor. Lift one leg behind you and bend it at the knee. Push back with your heel and feel the burn in your glute muscles. Switch legs and repeat. This might require a bit of an adjustment, but it’ll be worth it in the end.
3. Lunges
You can still do lunges, even with vulnerable knees, using just one simple rule: don’t extend your knee past your ankle. Also, make sure you’re stable and engaging your abs. For even more support, hold on to something and keep your core straight.
If your knees are too weak for lunges, there’s a great replacement for this exercise — choose to do bridges instead. They target the same muscles as lunges do, so you won’t be missing out on anything. Lie down on the floor with your knees bent. Push your heels against the floor as you lift your hips and squeeze your glutes. Your shoulders, hips, and knees must be perfectly aligned. Hold for 2-3 counts and repeat.
4. Knee push-ups
Many people who are unable to do a full push-up choose to modify the exercise and do it with the support of their knees. Not only is it very harmful to the joints, but it doesn’t do anything good for your body in general. What you can do is use a wall and do a regular push-up while being on the floor. In order to make it effective, position your body at an angle by putting your feet behind you as much as it is comfortable.
Another option would be to use an exercise ball for a decline push-up. Place your feet on the ball, one leg at a time, and lean on your extended arms. Keep your core straight. Lower your chest and shoulders down to the floor. Press yourself back up until your arms are extended once again. Repeat.
5. Jumping jacks
Jumping jacks are considered high-impact for any knees, but there’s an easy way to make the exercise much safer. Instead of jumping out with both of your feet, alternate them by tapping in and out with your left foot and right foot.
A second low-impact replacement would be oblique jacks. Here’s how to do them: Stand tall and place your arms at your head level. Bend your right knee up and to the side as you crunch your body and bring your right elbow to the knee. Jump and switch to the left knee, repeating the same movement. Bring your knees as high as possible and don’t forget to lower your elbow. Repeat.
6. Squats
Replace a regular squat by incorporating a wall into your routine. It’s quite simple but effective. Push yourself against the wall with your feet at shoulder-width apart. Your heels should be 18 inches away from the wall. Squat down, making sure your butt doesn’t go lower than your knees and your knees don’t go past your toes. Keep your abs and core engaged and flat against the wall. Push back up with your heels and repeat.
If you’re feeling a bit more confident, try a partial squat instead of a deep one. Do everything as you would with a regular squat but keep your body at no more than a 45-degree angle.
