I have never immigrated and I have only visited two other coutries besides Portugal: Spaine and France. I spent a week in France, in the Easter Holidays two years ago and I don't think that experience could teach me much about the reality of being in a different country. However, a friend of mine was an immigrant in Portugal. She was Lithuanian and she lived in Portugal 3 or 4 years (I'm not sure :P). At first she had a bit of a hard time adapting to our country and our language, but everyone wanted to help her fit in, so she soon felt at home in our country and learned our language, even though she still had a bit of accent. I was very sad when she left, but her family missed their home country and had to return. This showed me that even if you're in a country that's totally different, if you work hard, you can fit in.
