There have been many great powers in this world, which were not noticeable at first, but they suddenly increased in strength and left an extraordinary mark in the history of the world. Portugal, located in the southwest of the European continent, is one such country.
The Portuguese Republic, abbreviated as "Portugal", is a republican state located in southwestern Europe. The country has a land area of 92,226 square kilometers, Portugal has a population of 10.347 million, and a population density of 111.6 people per square kilometer. There are 18 regions in the country, with Lisbon as its capital.
Portugal is a famous expatriate country in Europe, many people like to retire in Portugal, and the locals really speak English well, better than many countries in Europe. Permanent residents in Portugal need to obtain a medical card issued by the National Health Service, which entitles them to free public health care.
Portuguese people are enthusiastic and passers-by may have a poker face, but once you need help or offer to talk, they will instantly change their faces and become clearer than a sunny day.

The Portuguese healthcare system is comprehensive and at a high level, with public hospitals and health centres providing free medical care to Portuguese citizens, foreign nationals who have obtained legal residency or legal work permits (on the basis of the principle of reciprocity) (but public ones are very slow and return to private ones if possible). Portugal spends 10.1% of its GDP on health and has a complete healthcare system, ranking 12th in the world, with subjects such as organ transplantation ranking first in the world.
Portugal prices are low, about a cup of coffee 1 euro, a lunch 5 euros can eat well, but this is not a paradise, low prices mean low wages, so people working in Portugal, do not feel that Portugal consumption is low, only people outside Portugal, such as British and French, earn their own salaries, come to Portugal to do consumption, will feel very cheap, so people will be very cool.

Most of them come to learn Portuguese, and I believe that if South America can develop better, there will be more international students.
