Got *That* shit right.

Both of these counties are kind of insular.  I wouldn't go so far as to say racist, but think of your typical "frenchman" and you're getting close.  Spaniards and Portugese want you to speak the language and do it well.

The kids (anyone under 30) are a completely different class of individuals and this is where you begin to see HUGE trends of liberalism/drug use/lots of sexxing.

In 2011?  Try to not get robbed, tortured, and decapitated; okay?

Please don't confuse Portugal with Spain, it's the same as saying that Canada is the same as the USA.
In Spain most people won't speak English because they believe that if you're going to their country you should speak Spanish, movies are all in Spanish, in Portugal everyone speaks English and no one thinks that if you come here you have to speak Portuguese, also we have many tourists so that would be completely stupid, and our movies are in their original language.

Plus what do Portuguese or Spanish people have to do with French? The three are completely different countries, with different cultures, political views and history.

If you come to Canada and go to Gatineau, Quebec.

Rent is like 500$ for a bachelors and you can easily live with under 1000$ per month.

You can go to Ottawa to get a job because in Gatineau you would have to speak french fluently. Minimum salary is around 10$ per hour.

its cheap, extremely safe and your not in a third world country.

Also, the cops don't care if you smoke weed. (seriously, they don't give a shit)

As far as I know, in Portugal, even amongst the youth, there is a strong bias against people of African descent.

I didn't experience that in Spain (amongst the youth).  I was in the South and there was a large Muslim/Moroccan population there which may have affected that, seeing brown people more regularly.

:eek: I don't know how many years you lived here or what kind of people did you meet but there is no such thing.

You have stupid dumb people every were, you might find less racists here than in America (in proportion of course) never have we founded things like KKK or had racial segregation in early 19's :thumbdown:

There are racists as there are everywhere, in a general manner we are a country with loads of immigration specially from PALOP's (Portuguese-speaking African countries), Brazil and Eastern Europe and we have no beef with that.

It doesn't seem reasonable what you're saying I'm really intrigued by what experience did you have here to make you think that.

man, Goa is like heaven on Earth!!  No joke.

Its not India, in my opinion, nothing like the rest of it.  I was there for this last winter, and it was 85-90 everyday, and didn't see one drop of rain the whole time, 3 months straight.  All the vegetation is vividly green and alive and the place itself attracts the most interesting people and travelers, especially the northern most beach, arambol.  Lots of Russians and Israelis, and Europeans there mostly, I only met one or two other Americans.

The nice thing about Goa, well among many, is the fact that you can smoke ganja wherever you damn well please!  In the streets, in restaurants, and you can score lots of other drugs there as well.  I knew two guys peddling acid, and a few guys who deal ketamine, cocaine, opium, and some groups that do ayahuasca ceremonies.  Goa is pretty much where most of the hippies flocked to during and after the vietnam war, that and kathmandu, nepal.

I don't know, just look into it man!  Beautiful oceans, deep jungles, people parasurfing, paragliding all day on awesome thermals, I can go on and on...




just looked up Goa on the map. Anshi National Park looks epic!

How can you expect people from other countries to respect you if you can't even tell what language they speak ? You're talking about french people, right. Please consider the fact that these people maybe wouldn't be so " arrogant " with you if you left your stereotypes apart. There are different people everywhere, don't expect to find more douchebags in France/Spain than in the US or any other country. As for racism, France is probably the country in Europe having one of the highest immigration rate.

It's all about being open minded. People won't talk to you the same way if you treat them the right way :wink:

What "cheap" when the money system just about everywhere is basically monopoly money being printed fast and faster to pay interest demands that could never exist in a honest-value system.

Even speaking practically, it's pretty expensive to live here.

Yeah and Arizona is the U.S. state with the highest immigration (legal and illegal) rates, yet it's racist as a motherfucker there.


Constantine - All I was saying is that the typical American impression of a snooty, pretentious frenchman is how I found most "middle-class +) people to be from Spain.  I found them to be very rude, and not very nice, even when I was trying to do business with them.

Working class folks and the kids I had 0 problems with in regards to rapport.



Pouihi - Maybe things have changed or maybe I heard wrong; I can't at the moment source where that memory comes from but I remember learning about Portugese people just being really hard on Africans.

Maybe this was 20-30 years ago and its much less true now?



I've been all over spain Pouihi but never stepped foot in Portugal.

Before 1974 my country was under a fascist dictatorship and they started the Portuguese Colonial war which took place in Africa, and in that time, and under a fascist regime immigrants were not well received by the authorities and people in general have to abide by the regime's principles otherwise would be considered dissidents and put in jail or killed. So probably africans wouldn't be well received at that time by not by prejudice in people's minds.

In the 25th of April of 1974 (our liberty day) we had a revolution that took that regime down and brought democracy back (no one died on that revolution :thumbup:).

I'm from 1984 and never noticed any abnormal prejudice towards african descendants. As I said, there are racists everywhere that's inevitable, but it's not hardcore or massively generalized, I'd say the USA look pretty worse on that matter.

I assume you are talking about my trip to Buenos Aires..

I am not scared at all. Yes, the possibility exists that something can happen. However, I'm used to one of the most dangerous cities in the US. As long as you know what can happen, how to prevent an incident, and what to do in the event that something does happen, you'll be fine.

A lot of warnings are over-exaggerated too. I just had a traveler stay at my place a few weeks ago.. he lives in Kabul, Afghanistan. One of the nicest guys I've met in a while.

American guys really do get treated like gods in southeast Asia..

I'd still prefer somewhere like Buenos Aires because of the culture though.. they are a little more progressive than the asians.

When dating asian girls, you meet the family immediately. Almost as fast as you meet them is when they start nagging for marriage and grandchildren. Notice the word I used there.. "and". They want both. No exceptions. And they will annoy the shit out of you till they get their way.

Argentinians are much more laid back.




I love visiting the far east though :awesome:
