@Aryan, you know what's funny? When Portuguese people find out someone is American and not English, they do a little hapy dance. It's kind of weird. I always thought Americans were the worst in the eyes of Europeans. But, no... Germans and English are way worse.\.

Not always. Often they ask. But I've had many people say they thought I was American. One waiter told us he could tell we were American because we were talking with our hands.

I've also had people tell me they thought I was Brazilian when I spoke Portuguese. I guess because my pronunciation is clearer.

@SHAMPAIN, I am talking about Brits who live here. I'm not in a tourist hot spot. There are a lot of British immigrants here. They just tend to be snottier, and the Portuguese people are really warm. They prefer Americans. Not my fault.
