Time to start learning some fact about Portugal.

Some overwhelming historical facts...

This video was made in 2011 when Finland didn't wanted to support Portugal in a EU bank bailout vote. Also, they dare to say some nasty things about the Portuguese too.

So, this video: from Portugal to Finland with love!
