The Portuguese, like unlike Norwegians, know that they will never be taken seriously in Europe. They are simply to small – and this makes them a very relaxed and agreeable people to deal with. The city itself has much to offer to the taste of most anyone. Traveling with my excellent colleagues in Avinet I visited and revisited a number of beautiful places in and around Lisbon like; Sintra, the Expo, the aquaduct at Campolide and many others.
