Hello, I've been reading your AMA enthusiaticly and I came across this. I'm Portuguese and we're, as a country, known for being quite safe to everyone. And since I doubt the violence you're speaking of was nightlife related (which would be my first guess in most cases), mind if I ask what happened, out of curiosity?

You'd be more than welcome to practice your Portuguese with me, while you teach me things about Russia from the inside, as I have a great interest in geopolitics.

As for what happened, yeah, nightlife is pretty much the only way of getting into any kind of trouble what you said is not uncommon, but it's just preying. I've been to bairro alto countles times and been shitfaced drunk there and at closing times, there's people lurking around for whatever. 90% of the times you can just keep walking and ignore, or if need be, just give them a cigarette and go away. I'm sorry you had that experience here, we're for the most part welcoming and a friendly bunch.

BTW, Não sei qual seria a melhor de falarmos mas por mim é na boa. Se calhar até aprendia um bocado de russo! :).

Proof please

here he is! A fine ex stray Portuguese dog :D
