fiogf49gjkf0d SOCIAL HINTS
------------
PORTUGAL IS PREDOMINANTLY CATHOLIC. THE PORTUGUESE WAY
OF LIFE IS LEISURELY, AND OLD-FASHIONED POLITENESS
IS ESSENTIAL.
SOCIAL LIFE TENDS TO BE INFORMAL AND CASUAL CLOTHES ARE
ACCEPTABLE. THE PORTUGUESE ARE FRIENDLY AND HOSPITABLE
PEOPLE AND WILL MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME. ALCOHOL IS READILY
AVAILABLE AND SMOKING IS VERY COMMON. ENGLISH IS SPOKEN
IN THE BIGGER CITIES AND TOWNS.
BUSINESS HINTS
--------------
BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED IN A FAIRLY FORMAL MANNER, AND
SUITS OR SMART ATTIRE ARE RECOMMENDED. APPOINTMENTS
SHOULD BE MADE IN ADVANCE AND BUSINESS CARDS WILL USUALLY
BE EXCHANGED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A PORTUGUESE
SPEAKING COLLEAGUE, ALTHOUGH ENGLISH IS WIDELY SPOKEN.
