Hi, everyone and welcome to Portugal!
My name is V and I am a Serbian native living in Portugal. It's been a year now - as a matter of fact 11 months and 24 days - that I wake up in sunny Lisbon. If you have just arrived, welcome! I am sure that the Portuguese are already treating you very well with a portion of bacalhau com natas and a glass of vinho verde. Enjoy it while it lasts.
The title of this blog is not random. Ever heard of Momo Kapor? Probably not. Ever had a trouble with understanding the Serbs? That probability is a bit higher, I guess. A guide to the Serbian mentality is a [insightful] book about the Serbs and their way of being. Cheers to Momo with a glass of homemade rakija, thank you for clarifying us in the eyes of others. [The roots are the roots.]
I came to the idea of making this memoires as a souvenir, as I will probably forget what I felt about Portugal when I moved here for the first time. You know, a man is known by the company he keeps, and I am slowly adopting the Portuguese lifestyle, complaining about the taxes or enjoying the sunny esplanadas with a glass of beer. Nonetheless, no matter how much I like Portugal, I wouldn't like to lose my mentality and the feeling of always discovering some new, strange Portuguese habits that make me laugh or drive me crazy.
I hope to be able to bring to you a bit of Portuguese happiness and sadness [one does not exist without the other] seen from the eyes of a native Belgrader.
Até já!
V.
