Day34 – Saturday - 06-03-10

If I said people in Portugal smells out of their mouth I’m not sure they would do anything about it. Some of them really smell bad, and I’m not kidding, and as far as I know, I’m not the only one of that opinion. I think the more away you come from the big cities people care less about the “superficial things”, but more about the core value like “having fun”, and “having a good time”.

We went to Retail Park which was recommended by people we know, and it was really a waste of our “precious” time. We went there by taxi, because it appears there are no busses after 1 o’clock... We should have been thinking twice before heading there, because they sell stuff for people that really lives here or lives her for a longer period. The mall (Aveiro Shopping Center) where just really small, and did not worth the title Shopping Center at all!

The way home was worse, because everyone that comes here has a car (of course). It’s not a place where you can find a taxi around the corner, so we went from place to place to find a cab with no luck at all. So finally we found an information desk who could speak a little bit English. We explained and helped us to call a cab to take us home. The taxi driver was an old guy, and he basically cheated the money out of us by driving a detour to Aveiro… Luckily it was not that expensive after all, but still… The taxi drivers here are not to be trusted!

Later we went down to have a cup of coffee at the popular café mostly visited by students. The Portuguese coffee are served in small cups, if you can call it that, it is actually almost smaller than a shot glass... Everything is smaller here in Portugal. Many people drink the small beers of 20cl, because they basically say that they can’t drink it fast enough… they say the normal size beers gets warm and boring before they have emptied it… haha.
