Hello Danes! (:

I'm a young Portuguese who loves Denmark very much and I have the ambition to visit Denmark one day (maybe even live there).

I'd love to know what Danes think about Portugal and the Portuguese. Both good and bad haha So I'd appreciate your participation!

Obrigado! (:

Edit: By the way, if you have any questions about Portugal or the Portuguese, feel free to ask 😁

Like we call Sweden and Norway our brothers, most danes view Portugal as Spains sibling.

Climate: same-same.
Mentality: same-same.
Language: We do not belive both are latin languages! Spanish is fairly easy for most danes to learn but most would probably rather learn Japaneese than Portuguese... Even knowing average Spanish, Portuguese is gibberish.
History: (for the non-history-geek) same-same.
Living standards: same-same.

Personally the most positive thing I can think of, and the first that comes to mind, is the human approach on drug strategy.

Secondly I think of Port wine, which I love. (I've been to "Solar do Vinho do Porto" (Port wine institute in Lisboa)).

Thirdly I think of the begining of the movie Arrival where they explain the origin of the Portuguese language. (Which is the reason it doesn't sound as if it's related to Spanish).

I do think from internet memes calling Portugal an eastern european country, that you've had some harsh times regarding crime, economy and living standards in general, but I honestly haven't read that that much about it (I might do now our of curiosity) so it might just wrong.

PS, from a workrelated issue I know that Lissabon is one of 4 cities world-wide (Lissabon, Copenhagen, Ålborg, Stockholm) using the same type of Gas (towngas G110) that Copenhagen uses, and because so few use it, it's very hard to get kitchen equipment that are approved for that type of gas. Thus most kitchen equipment running on gas, in Copenhagen (and incidentally Lissabon) are of the same brands, which funny enough primarily are Italian brands 😆
