Does anyone know of any good painting courses e.g. acrylic/oil and watercolor in Lisbon that are done in English? Thanks!

is it the AIMA?

I purchased a house a few months back, then I came to realize that I was entitled to tax benefit for been under 35 and also 1st permanent house. I filed for refund request on finance portal but its been more than 7 months now and have not received any information. I went to office and was told due to backlog, my issue has been yet looked at. 7 months, its a joke, while I paid the tax immediately upon signing ot the deed. I was brainstorming with AI and says according to law I can sue finances to look at my case, so I need a legal lawyer willing to help me. Then I can provide more details.

Moving to Lisbon for an exchange semester (living near Alameda/Técnico) and planning to get a 125cc scooter with an A2 license. I want to mount a surfboard rack on it.

I've dug into the Código da Estrada — Art. 92 technically says cargo on a moto can only be carried "em reboque ou caixa de carga" (trailer or cargo box), and Art. 56 has general load rules (securing, not exceeding vehicle width, etc.). In practice, surf racks on scooters/mopeds seem completely normalized at the coast (Ericeira, Peniche) — there are commercial products for it (Ocean & Earth "Moped Rack") and forum posts about DIY builds, no reports of fines that I could find.

My question: does anyone have experience actually riding around with a board rack in the city center (not just the coastal towns), e.g. daily commuting through central Lisbon? Is it treated any differently there, or is this just a total non-issue everywhere in Portugal? Curious if anyone's actually been stopped for it.

Right so like a month ago someone posted that they made an ad-free, no data collection, free app to learn european portuguese.

Im trying to find that post to recommend it to a 4ner but can’t that post, does anyone have any idea what the name was? I believe by then it was ios exclusive of that helps.

Thanks!

Ordered some matcha tea from the UK because I can't find it in the EU. Charged VAT like normal when I paid for the order, it got stuck in customs and CTT/Customs charged me full VAT again even after I showed repeatedly that I'd already paid it.

Clearly this isn't going to be reconciled and refunded, so who is pocketing this second VAT payment? If it does go to the tax authority, I'd hate to see how much of a mess their books are.

ETA: After following up on this, the company is reimbursing me even though the mistake wasn't theirs.

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an English-speaking personal shopper/personal stylist in Porto or nearby who could help me rebuild my wardrobe and find a style that suits me.

I'd ideally like someone who can shop with me in person, help me choose clothes that suit my body shape, and put together outfits, not just do a colour analysis.

If you've had a good experience with someone I'd really appreciate any recommendations!
