Is it normal for people to stagnate during holidays? I don’t understand, we spend a whole year complaining, saying we work to much, that we have no free time, no time to live, but when we have a whole month of holidays, (or 15 days.. depends) there is a majority of people that take one week to go on a trip to a foreign country, were everything is pre-establish and were there is no freedom. The other 3 weeks are spent watching TV, eating large quantities of everything, and going sometimes to the beach, preferably during the hot hours, the same hours witch doctors say are dangerous… At least this is how Portuguese people spend their holidays… They don’t practice any sport, (until watching TV is declared sport) they are one of the most over-weight population in Europe, they don’t go to museums, to theatres, to cinema, they just know their way to the beach and to the couch, this is the Portuguese holidays.

Portuguese people are one of the most over-weight populations in Europe. They have a hilarious excuse for that… lack of money, because for the typical Portuguese, sport can only be practice in a gymnasium, preferably one that has models, actors and politicians… they think that they’ll become famous if they know famous people, they don’t want to think about the possibility of running on the street, to make push ups in their house, etc… No, they don’t have time (there’s too much on TV).

PS: This is only my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.
