I can see you had a great time in Madeira, eh? 😎👍
we are very familiar to that island here in Venezuela because there's a big portuguese colony here and almost 90% of them are from Madeira hahaha

Hahaha I know that! Many Madeira locals have some family members or friends in Venezuela, it was quite surprising for me actually :) I would expect Brazil because of the language but why Venezuela? :D
Hahaha, well, I have no idea 🤣🤣🤣🤔 but perhaps it was because at the time when most of the Portuguese, Spanish and Italians immigrated to Venezuela due to the Second World War and post-war poverty (we are talking about the 40s, 50s and 60s), the economy of Venezuela it was more developed than the one in Brazil because of the oil and all that.
I see, that sounds reasonable. But obviously, young people from Madeira go to Venezuela even these days, which is kind of strange, considering the situation in your country... Maybe it´s because there already is a big Madeiran community and they like to stick together ;)
Yes, you see, most of the people who have emigrated from Venezuela are Venezuelans, very few of the foreigners have left, they love this country even more than the Venezuelans, they have been working here all their lives and their children and grandchildren were born in Venezuela. The Portuguese have a lot of business here, they are very hard workers and we associate them with bakeries hahaha. They use to go to Madeira on vacation but they don't like to stay there 🤭🤭🤭
What can we do? 🤷🏻♀️ Venezuela is magical 😍💛💙❤️😎
That´s interesting :) Thanks for sharing this little insight into the Portuguese / Venezuelan situation with me :)
You're welcome @phortun , thank you
