I live in a city of 100,000 of which 75% are of Portuguese descent, at least half immigrants. Most jobs require you speak the language. The housekeepers here barely speak English.
I'm sure The Portuguese Times will feature this as well as the local paper.
Supposedly Portugal is a beautiful country but I hear the horror stories of living in the small towns. A girl in high school went home for the summer. No electricity so she ran extensions to a neighbor's house to take a bath. No heat so she used a portable heater. Fumes from kerosene or a gas (too long ago to remember) killed her. I remember she had fourteen siblings.
Another girl died when their ice box (no electricity, no refrigerator, just a cooler with ice) ran dry and the food spoiled. Little kid refilled it without tossing the food Food poisoning killed her.
