I had ambitious (and fanciful) plans to learn Portuguese right after moving. Followed four months in a local school. It's now been 3 years and I can hardly order a meal in a restaurant.
Not sufficiently concerned.

It went smoothly in the beginning. It's little things, experienced over months and months, that seep in and make you realize the cultural differences (I wouldn't speak of a 'shock')
That's exactly what I was trying to get at above.
None of the above. But I realize that, owing to my appearance (6ft 5, very thin, white hair), I cannot dream of becoming physically assimilated in a land of dark hair, stocky people. I'm convinced the cultural assimilation would be easier if I were stocky and dark-haired.
Easy-going people, courageous, hospitable, poetry lovers.
People, especially in this part of the country, are pretty tough, they lack refinement and subtlety.

Hello, It is good to know that you are not regretting your moved after all, you didn't mention it. My name is Alina, I am us citizen and Licensed physician Board Certified in Family Medicine, currently living in St Petersburg, Florida and looking into Portugal, specifically Algarve for moving temporary to permanent with my family. I am reaching out for help since I encounter very difficult finding information of medical doctors like me that have moved to Portugal, I found a website sent to me by another expat, with information for medical doctors ( foreign ) and as I understand, It appear that my US medical licensed is not valid in Portugal, do you happen to know of any case like mine? and if you do, could you please give me references so I can contact them for more information. Me and my family are looking forward to move to a safe country with a low crime score and a weather similar to Florida ( warm ), and Portugal seem to be perfect in that regard, I have found searching the web that Algarve is like so, but as far as my profession and all I need to know in order for me to move there, it is a different story and I start thinking that contrary to what I would love to do, there are no chances for me and I will probably have to change my mind moving to Portugal, Any idea in how I can obtain information ?, Please help.... Will be great and deeply appreciate it! Thank you:} and good luck to you as well!!!
