You see, it's a "I don't understand this game at all". Look even this article has given me ten cents since yesterday ahahah and there were some people reading it. But maybe, you know, maybe readers have stopped being interested about how life is in Portugal. At least how life is in Portugal through the eyes of a Portuguese and my dramas. Actually this is something I feel a lot: articles are only funny when written by an American on their perspective of life here. And my God Liv, while of course their experience is valid as any, they understand ZERO of what Portugal is or who the Portuguese are. It's so naive that sometimes it's funny. Other times it's just plain offensive and silly.
